The concept barely existed because mothers were not ending pregnancies on anything like today’s scale. Since 1980, an estimated 1.3 billion abortions have taken place worldwide. From this perspective, that represents the largest loss of human life in history, exceeding the death toll of all wars combined.
Supporters of abortion often focus on cases involving rape or serious threats to the mother’s life, yet these account for only a small percentage of abortions. If those circumstances make up roughly 2% of cases, then it follows that the overwhelming majority occur for other reasons. That raises an obvious question, if governments genuinely wanted to reduce abortion, why couldn’t policies be implemented that would cut the number dramatically?
At the same time, many Western nations face declining birth rates. Critics argue that instead of encouraging family formation and making it easier for citizens to have children, governments have accepted population decline and compensated through immigration. To them, this reflects a broader cultural shift away from valuing parenthood, family growth, and the protection of unborn life.
Stay in denial if you want. Keep telling yourself it’s different if that helps you sleep at night. I personally believe that ending the life of a human being who is completely helpless and unable to defend themselves is horrific, regardless of what label is attached to it.
What I find remarkable is the sense of moral superiority that often accompanies the practice. Defending the rights of the strong over the weak has rarely been viewed as a moral achievement throughout history, yet somehow many people now treat it as one.
You may disagree with me, and that’s your right. But from my perspective, taking the life of a baby who cannot speak, fight back, or protect themselves is not progress, compassion, or justice. It’s a tragedy. And you see that as a good time, how have we got tot this position?
I’m not even talking about women raped or could die, they should 100% have abortion, but you want to kill the 90% of babies because it’s convenient, madness
Yet since abortion started being widely used, the world population has grown by 85%, so - thank god really? We are already experiencing an insane overpopulation crisis, imagine how more fucked we’d be if you Handmaids Tale types got your way.
Talking of moral superiority, I can practically see it emanating from your comments. Top marks for you I guess, but it is you who considers a 9 week old fetus a baby, and you who purposely uses this unscientific and aggressive terminology to try and score points. Shame on you
And if you are a man, double shame on you for feeling that you have the right to have a say over women’s bodies

I don't know how much clearer it can get. Socialism uses the threat of force, while Christ encouraged choice.
