The Science and Ethics of Abortion

Posted on by William H. Douglas

Abortion is one of those “hot topics” that really shouldn’t be that “hot.” None of the ethical, scientific, or moral questions people raise about abortion are really relevant – they’ve all been answered multiple times. Yet, many of the same people who will lecture you about how you should “trust the science” and “believe the experts” actually do those things regarding abortion. When abortion comes up it is all unscientific, nonsensical, unethical, and insane nonsense.

But what do “experts” – actual biologists – say about when human life begins? In this article I establish what the actual scientific consensus is on this subject. Then, informed by the real science, I use that knowledge to evaluate the ethical arguments surrounding abortion – such as the issue of bodily autonomy, the concept of “personhood,” the argument concerning dangerous illegal abortions, cases of rape and incest, and medical necessity.

The Insanity of the Left-Right Political Fallacy

Posted on by William H. Douglas

The idea that all beliefs and ideologies which humans have can be divided into the simplistic Left-Right political spectrum (with “Progressivism” and Communism on the Left and “Conservatism” and Fascism on the Right) is so pervasive in our political language and thought that it can rightfully be said to completely dominate way that modern people conceive of the entire world. But, does it make sense? Does it accurately reflect the true nature of society? And what effect does thinking of the world in this way have on how we treat each other and society as a whole? In this article I not only look at the history of this idea, but I also look at the completely irrational nature of it and the entirely destructive effects it has on human society and human relationships. The left-right political spectrum is illogical poisonous nonsense that does nothing but promote idiocy and hatred.

How Language Is Used To Convince You Of Transgender Ideas And How To Fight Back

Posted on by William H. Douglas

There is a lot being said right now about gender dysphoria, transgenderism, and the usage of personal pronouns to affirm a person’s individual gender identity. In this article I cite several studies to prove a few very important things: Language has a massive influence on the way that we see the world, that altering how we speak, even in small grammatical ways, has a huge impact on our consciousness itself, that the repetition of information over time changes the way we think and convinces us that what we are saying or hearing is true, and that ideas spread like virus, co-opting what we believe and how we live and changing them to turn us into ideological spreaders. I then put it all together to argue that the usage of preferred pronouns takes advantages of all these facts and act like a viral vector to infect us with the beliefs and ideals of transgenderism. The ultimate culmination of this is a form of reality control where what we believe is re-written by the things we hear repeatedly until we win the victory over ourselves and adopt the ideas in question as our own – in this case transgenderism. Finally, I discuss how we can resist this process and why liberty is so essential in establishing a society where all people can live as they believe.

Abortion: Science, Ethics, and Religion

Posted on by William H. Douglas

The arguments that go to defending this wicked practice of abortion can be largely classified into three categories – arguments based on science, arguments based on ethics, and arguments based in religion. I address all three of these categories and demonstrate how the science, ethics, and religion all demolish pro-abortionist arguments and support those who want to preserve the human rights of children in the womb to their right to Life. In the section on science I draw upon a milestone study carried out by Dr. Steven Jacobs where he spoke to around 5,500 biologists from every religious and political perspective, those who call themselves pro-choice as well as pro-life, and asked them about what the scientific evidence says about when human life begins. The results of his study will shock some of you, especially those who have long been fed the lie that this is a question that scientific study is somehow incapable of solving. In the ethics section, I address a multitude of ethical and ideological argument used to justify abortion, including concepts of bodily autonomy, feminism, personhood, rape, incest, and medical necessity. In the religion section I draw upon the teachings of the modern Prophets and Apostles about what they have to say about the topic of abortion and the Church’s stance on not only those who get abortions, but even those who simply aid or encourage people to get abortions. Finally, I address the inherently racist and eugenic nature of abortion and political consideration about how to foster a Culture of Life.
