As the abortion debate rages on this election season, now is a good time to revisit these questions: Who were the influential opinion leaders who sold abortion on demand to the U.S. government, radical feminists, and the American people? So how did they do this?

Oddly enough, the first question we should ask is the one Albert Einstein asked at a conference. letter Nearly 100 years ago he asked Sigmund Freud: “Is there any way to save humanity from the danger of war?”

This article was inspired after watching the Democratic National Convention and seeing people enthusiastically supporting abortion on that stage with laughter and wide smiles while microscopic humans were being murdered in the Planned Parenthood trailer. just outside the convention hall.

Hugh Moore’s Utopian Plan to Avoid World War III

Freud gave no answer to Einstein. But after two world wars that cost the lives of more than 100 million people, one man I did There is an answer.

Wealthy entrepreneur Hugh Moore (who invented the disposable Dixie Cup) was convinced that the “fundamental cause of the war” was population explosion. Fearing that there were too many hungry and poor people in the world, and believing that the birth rates of starving poor people would somehow lead to World War III, Moore published a fear-mongering pamphlet in 1954. Population Bomb.

Lawrence Lader, co-founder of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL Pro-Choice), one of Moore’s biggest fans, wrote:

“The pamphlet’s harsh tone disturbed an inert public, and its relentless parade of facts and figures about rising birth rates, impending famine, rising taxes, all likely to lead to war, made disturbing but intriguing reading. … It is now accepted that we must reduce birth rates or wait for inevitable disaster. we are on our way we train ourselves to death” (italics in original).

Although abortion was still illegal in every state, Moore firmly believed that his utopian plan to limit human population growth through birth control and abortion would prevent all future wars. To his way of thinking, an unborn baby was as disposable as a paper cup. He mailed his pamphlet to 1,500 public influencers and persuaded a number of powerful men to join him.

Financier John D. Rockefeller III Catholics for Free ChoiceHe already feared population growth among the poor and was using his vast wealth to develop new birth control methods and export them to developing countries. But Rockefeller would never succeed, President of the Population Research Institute Stephen Mosher He observes without the aid of Moore’s masterful salesmanship.

Fourteen years after Moore published his pamphlet, Stanford University entomologist Paul Ehrlich borrowed Moore’s fearsome title (with Moore’s permission). to have scaremongering book, Population BombSelling millions of copies and recently announced Smithsonian magazine’s book “provoking fears of overpopulation worldwide” and “a pressure wave all over the world.”

Journalist Marvin Olasky during the 1950s reportsMoore’s public relations strategy was extraordinarily successful:

“Anti-abortion forces have gone to sleep, believing that the legal roadblocks to abortion have been in place for too long to be moved, or that even if they were moved a little, it wouldn’t matter.”

Capturing Media

According to Moore, the most glaring shortcoming of the world population movement was its pitiful budget: only $35,000 a year as late as 1959. To address this problem, Moore stepped up his rhetoric and launched the World Population Emergency Campaign, which attracted the attention of many financial and industrial leaders.

By 1961 Moore now had millions of dollars to spend and embarked on a new strategy: a massive advertising campaign in leading newspapers to push the government to take action on population control.

Headlines promoting terrorism in full-page ads New York Times she screamed:

“Population Bomb Threatens World Peace”

“Threat to Peace”

“Mr. President-Elect Nixon: The main problem facing your administration will not be war, riots, or crime, but the population bomb.”

“Dear President Nixon: We can’t solve the environmental problem without thinking about this little fellow” (pictures a devilishly grinning baby).

“Catholic Bishops attack birth control as millions face starvation.”

“Whatever your cause, if we can’t get the population under control, it’s a lost cause,” warned the headline of another full-page ad. New York Times and later Luck, Harper’s, Saturday Review And Time. This ad alone “generated hundreds of thousands of reprint requests,” Lader reported.

Many distinguished citizens from all segments of society signed one or more of these announcements. With a few notable exceptions, all of these powerful opinion makers in the early days of the population control movement were men. In fact, female feminists were among them. last People to be put on the abortion train.

Aside from the public relations blitz, some of Moore’s strongest victories were achieved behind closed doors, in rooms away from the public eye. Although few people talk about it, there is concern among doctors that the intrauterine device (IUD), which became widely used in the late 1950s, may fail to prevent pregnancy in rare cases and cause “miscarriage” (also known as “spontaneous pregnancy”) There was. abortion”) In 1962, the American Law Institute (ALI), an advocacy group of lawyers, judges, and law professors, proposed liberalizing all state abortion laws in the United States, not to protect women but on the grounds that changing anti-abortion laws would negatively affect abortion. shield doctors from responsibility.

Bringing Feminists On Board

One flaw in Moore’s population control plan was that the birth control pill was not 100% effective. That’s why population controllers needed abortions as a backup.

The second flaw in Moore’s utopian plan to prevent World War III was his failure to understand the maternal heart: Mothers love their babies, so how were these men going to persuade American women to join their anti-baby crusade?

Lader was good friends with feminist Betty Friedan (whose 1963 book launched second-wave feminism). Feminist Mystery). On October 7, 1967, Lader met with Dr. (with whom he founded NARAL). “If we’re going to take abortion off the books and onto the streets, it’s feminists,” Bernard told Nathanson. Friedan needs to get his troops involved…”

Friedan, the first president of the National Organization for Women, was reluctant to include abortion in the feminist political platform. But Lader convinced him to do it anyway.

Just six weeks after Lader told Nathanson that they should “hire feminists,” Friedan voted at NOW’s second annual conference to include abortion in feminism’s political “rights” platform. Only 57 of the 103 delegates at that convention voted to include abortion in their political platform; a third walked out in disgust; Some even resigned from NOW in protest.

The protest took place, and the dominant story in the media was that all women who wanted to “be free” needed and demanded the “right” to have an abortion in order to be “free.”

Moreover, masculine efforts to make women “free” by having abortions did not end there.

In 1972, the Report of the Rockefeller Commission on Population Growth and the Future of America (chaired by Rockefeller) pushed the US government to relax abortion laws or repeal them all together.

In that report, one of the feminist dissidents—attorney Graciela Olivarez, the first woman to graduate from Notre Dame Law School and a founding member of NOW—wrote that advocating “nationally legalized abortion” was “anti-women’s liberation” because it violated the real rights of women and men. equality. He observed that equality means:“Equal sharing of responsibilities by men and women” (italics in original). Legalizing abortion freed irresponsible men from “having to worry about whether they should bear some responsibility for the consequences of sexual activity.” He also wrote: “Those in power in our society cannot be allowed to ‘want’ and ‘don’t want’ people at will. … The poor cry out for justice and equality, and we respond by legalizing abortion.”

But of course Olivarez’s warnings went largely unreported.

In 1973, just a year after the release of the “Rockefeller Report,” U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, a church-going Methodist and conservative Republican, also fell into the population control trap. Her male colleagues on the Supreme Court joined her and Roe v. Wade, with accompanying bag Doe v. Bolton, It made abortion legal at all stages of pregnancy in every state.

Follow the Money

Afterwards Roe v. wadeAmerican politicians and welfare administrators quickly realized that the benefits of funding abortion for poor women in developing countries could be extended to poor mothers in the United States. A Special Choice: Abortion in America in the Seventies9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge John Noonan Jr. noted that many politicians view abortion as “a cheap way to reduce the rising costs of social welfare.” One year after the Supreme Court distorted legal and historical facts inventing abortion as “correct” Roe v. wadeMinistry of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) Reported to Congress It said it had saved the government millions of dollars by funding “at least” 220,000 abortions among women as part of its outreach.

“For each pregnancy to term among Medicaid-eligible women, the first-year cost to Federal, State, and local governments for maternity and pediatric care and public assistance is estimated to be approximately $2,700 (sic),” the report said.

Subtracting the cost of abortion ($200 per abortion), any legislator could calculate that the net savings in the first year alone were “at least” $500 million in 1973 dollars.

HEW estimates may be conservative. When argue to congress A representative of NARAL stated that in 1974, for federal funding of abortion, it cost $4,600 to give birth to a child “plus a year’s benefits.” On this basis, savings in the first year exceeded $1 billion.

In the abortion world, Noonan observed, “It wasn’t strange for a rich man to say to a poor man, ‘I’d love to help you.’ Let me show you how to kill your unborn children.’” Fast forward 50 years and the specter of death culture haunts all parts of the United States, most recently in Chicago.

The “right” to abortion and birth control is defended so politically sacred that the Democratic Party has highlighted the presence of a Planned Parenthood mobile unit to kill unborn babies just outside the Democratic Convention hall. People have been so deceived by the instigation of fear and lies about abortion that they think it is a good thing. Revealed in all its demonic horror, the madness of the 20th century’s utopian plan to achieve world peace and save money by killing innocent babies is literally destroying us and our future.
