Or so we can hope.\u00a0 Looks like the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity\u00a0has severed its ties to Planned Parenthood<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 Kudos to the brave ones!\u00a0 Expect those who are more concerned about aborting babies than curing breast cancer, however,\u00a0to attempt an end run.\u00a0 Sure, they will say it is because of the breast screenings that Planned Parenthood does.\u00a0 Fact is, there are places women with no money can go for help with that \u2013 I know first hand.\u00a0 The real issue is that abortion is the foundation upon which the post-Christian progressive movement is based.<\/p>\n

Think about it.\u00a0 Every day, in the name of this \u2018progressive\u2019 ideology, we hear more and more about how folks want the government to regulate this, that, and everything else (but sex).\u00a0 We need more regulations on what we eat, wear, drive, how we walk, talk, sleep, worship, think, believe, act, what foods we can have, how we raise our children, and any one of a million other restrictions. What idiot generation would comply with that?\u00a0 Well, there\u2019s the meat and circus, the peace and bread.\u00a0 It\u2019s sex, tons and tons of sex.\u00a0 Glorious, unadulterated, consequence-free, responsibility-free sex.\u00a0 Group sex, orgies, online pornography, threesomes, one night stands, three night stands, one night stands with three people, why the list goes on and on!<\/p>\n

Of course there are STDs, and HIV\/AIDS, but those mostly are ignored nowadays, or through billions of dollars of drugs and medications, we can reduce their effects.\u00a0 Birth control can reduce the chances of pregnancy, but there\u2019s still a chance\u2026.a slight chance, that it can happen.\u00a0 This possibility of Woman having her social life, her financial future thwarted by nine months of carrying the result of one\u2019s libido is too much of a threat, enough to make the fantasy promises of the progressive movement give at least most people cause to think.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where abortion comes in.\u00a0 It\u2019s the safety net.\u00a0 The final score.\u00a0 The ultimate promise from our post-Christian progressives.\u00a0 Sure, most would prefer not to have an abortion.\u00a0 But that would somehow mean we have to restrain ourselves, think of others, and live a life of some measure of discipline and sacrifice.\u00a0 And we can\u2019t have that in the post-Christian Utopia!\u00a0 So abortion is waved as the ultimate \u2018don\u2019t worry, just do it.\u2019\u00a0 Over a million a year, and the vast majority having zilch to do with dying mothers, raped girls, or deformed babies doomed to die.\u00a0 The vast majority there so that the mom can continue to jump on every Tom and Harry\u2019s you-know-what while not letting the disease known as pregnancy interfere with the climb up the\u00a0financial ladder.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Some have speculated that abortion, being a multi-billion dollar industry with all its sideline venues involved, is all about money.\u00a0 That Planned Parenthood, and others behind abortion rights, are in it for the money.\u00a0 I disagree.\u00a0 It\u2019s about seizing our civilization and replacing it with tyranny that promises orgasms and drugs to a generation intoxicated on the promises of narcissism and hedonism.\u00a0 Make it illegal to make money off abortions tomorrow, and I can almost promise that the same who will launch assault after assault on the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity today, would do the same two days from now.\u00a0 It\u2019s about the power to\u00a0seize a civilization\u00a0(and BTW, once the power is gained, expect the land of hedonism and narcissism to be reigned in just the same).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
