How advanced is the rot? two examples

This:

Seems like a ton of mansplaining is going on here, but 180 CEO‘s spoke out against abortion restrictions in a full page ad in The New York Times. Many of them are men, and based on some of the commentary, I wouldn’t want to work in any of their organizations. From CNN:
A letter endorsed by the business leaders appeared as a full-page ad in Monday’s New York Times, declaring “it’s time for companies to stand up for reproductive health care.
“They argue that limiting access to comprehensive care, “including abortion,” threatens “the health, independence, and economic stability of our employees and customers.” The letter says strict abortion laws are “against our values” and impede corporate efforts to build diverse workforces.
Okay, has anyone told them that abortion rates kill more African American and Hispanic babies per capita than any other demographic? And that approximately half of all babies aborted are women? How exactly does this pattern help promote diversity in the workplace?
Or is it they don’t really want working mothers in the workplace? In all honesty, given the language, this seems to be more of a motivator. Somewhere between feminism’s 2nd and 3rd wave, the ability to be a mother and have a career seems to have evaporated.
And this:

Enter “feminist theorist” Sophie Lewis. She’s a woman whose views on pregnancy, babies, abortion, women, and the family are so radical the word is scarcely an adequate descriptor. Lewis proudly picks up the “forgotten struggle” from Carl Marx’s Communist Manifesto to abolish the family. Yes, she is advocating the abolition of the family.
The Nation writes, “Her new book, Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family (Verso, 2019) specifically links family abolition to a radical reconceptualization of pregnancy itself.” This chilling interview and the worldview she espouses are devoid of love, joy, purpose, humanity, and beauty. This vision of the human person and family could only be conceived, pardon the term, in the pit of hell.
In this short video, Lewis fires off the newest euphemistic missiles. Her words reveal where the fight to preserve abortion “rights” is going next. Pregnancy is “gestational work.” A pregnant mother is a “gestational worker.”

She says the fetus, due to its hemochorial placentation, is inherently inflicting “violence” upon the gestational worker. Thus the gestational worker has every right to “go on strike.” The gestational worker can “exit the workplace” by responding with violence toward the fetus.
The violence the fetus inflicts is unacceptable. The violence the gestational worker inflicts is completely justified. 
A nation the throat of which is this tightly in the grip of Satan does not have good prospects.

  1. Wasn't Satan the white devil who killed the first native American for their land?

  2. No, and stop it with the generalizations about white Europeans settling in the New World. It reeks of hatred for Western civilization and of an attempt to overlook the savagery of many of the indigenous tribes and nations here at the time, which regularly conquered dead enslaved each other.

    It's also a digression from the topic at hand, which reeks of intellectual laziness.

  3. Do you have anything to say about the actual content of this post?

  4. Nothing can be said that ain't been said. Just have problem with your dire warning that our nation is in the grip of Satan. Methinks we got to solve it individually, as the Rascals sang half a century ago.

  5. Do you understand what you're saying? You're saying that it's a poor use of anyone's time to make an observation about, publicly express an opinion on, or sound an alarm about, any sociocultural development in our nation or world. That position cedes the field to wicked and rotten worldviews like those put forth in the two examples in this post. 180 CEOs signed that open letter. 180. Evil prevails when no one does anything about it.

  6. No, I'm saying we've been all over this for over half a century. Relatively soon we might have another Supreme Court ruling on it. If reason can be possessed by Satan, well, it can, but it's the most angelic tool in our tool kit.

  7. We've been all over this for half a century, so it's time for everybody to ignore how evil gets more mainstreamed by the day. Seriously?

  8. We got plenty of people in our jails here now. I guess we build more, huh?
