The sliding scales pitting wealth, independence, size, and physical development are in action every day: they determine for those in the womb who will live and die.
Specifically, those that are born into poor homes, that are dependent in one fashion or another, that are young, or small are often sentenced to death. Abortion gives rights to the strong that they have no right to. Its tyranny over posterity, its triumph of brute strength over equality of worth is a truly regressive stance.
Unavoidably, abortion in many ways has taken us back to the days of slavery. Those most likely to slide on the abortion scale are minorities. Abortion’s apologists rank economic stability over human rights. Once again, minorities are the primary losers in this system. Powerful abortion propaganda has purposefully profited from subjugating the vulnerable.
Today, more than twenty-five percent of African Americans have lost their lives to abortion rights. Minorities are significantly more likely to be aborted when compared with white children. Why do poverty, career options, and fear exclude them from the basic right to life?
Significantly, the sliding scale of worth applies to everyone. Who is not weaker, poorer, dependent, or smaller then someone else? The moment subjective scales are used to determine worth every individual is endangered. Only recognizing and uncompromisingly protecting the fundamental worth of each individual means true equality.
Those whose interests are benefitted by abortion fight for it: career advancement, relationship status, economic sense, etc. Have a care though– Lincoln closed his anti-slavery argument with:
But, say you, it is a question of interest; and, if you can make it your interest; you have the right to enslave another. Very well. And if he can make it his interest, he has the right to enslave you.
One is forced to ask: to whose interest could I be subjected? To whom, may I be enslaved? Enlightenment embraces inalienable equality. Progress equates to universal equality, even while surrendering some freedom.
More than forty nine million Americans have lost their lives to abortion since Roe v. Wade was legalized. Especially, minorities have been the victims of the Economics of Evolutionary
Principle. Victory over slavery through the Civil War means very little if freedom is only awarded to those that survive the strong.
Why have we regressed so far that Liberty is something abortion victims can’t even fight for because they haven’t even been given a chance at a Life?
Fundamental worth is definitive of humanity. Strength. Intelligence. Wealth. Independence. All fail before it, because without this foundation we are foundlings of fear.
