However, the text is somewhat scrambled. We want to give you as much information as we possibly can about our papers and essays, but we cannot give them away for free. In the text below you will find that while disordered, many of the phrases are essentially intact. From this text you will be able to get a solid sense of the writing style, the concepts addressed, and the sources used in the research paper. As stated earlier, one compelling argument for a woman's right to anabortion is that the child is "her body." Denying a woman this right, orforcing a woman into abortion, is unacceptable because it would infringe onher right to her own body. In a scientificdictatorship, agents of the state may invasively enter an individual's homeor body in the name of safety. Political groupswho insist that they are the voice of unborn fetuses completely ignore themother's right to privacy. Abortion: A Decoy Debate The debate about abortion centers on an essential fact: the childcomes from inside the mother. identifications in thename of human solidarity. As the Founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger is considered ahero by many for bringing choice to women in America. The false left-right paradigm equally consumes precious socialresources. "...But it's for your protection, it'sscientifically proven," says the agent dressed in an innocuous white labcoat. Sanger was a member of the American Eugenics Society, whereshe advocated forced sterilizations of large swaths of the population inorder to "prevent multiplication of this bad stock." Hitler admired thework of Margaret Sanger, and modeled many of his Eugenics Laws afterAmerican Eugenics laws permitting forced sterilizations which had alreadypassed in several states by 1933. One side chants "women's right to their body" andanother side chants "right to life," but both sides miss the pointcompletely - that the abortion issue is a politically motivated controversymeticulously crafted to entrench the false dichotomy of political parties,instigate internal dissent amongst Americans who would otherwise standtogether in solidarity, and finally serve as a distraction from what reallygoes on behind the scenes of government. "At 18 days the heart beingsto beat," they might say, but the determination that "the fetus is now abeing unto itself," requires an obtuse act of inference that makes thiswriter uncomfortable. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminatethe Negro population."Margaret Sanger has been memorialized as an advocate for women's privacyand women's choice, but by now I hope it is clear that her motivations wereintently racist! Her legacy is still invoked today as propaganda affirmingthe uniquely American sentiment that "My body is mine," even though thiscould not be further from the truth. It makes sense that in order to have a populace interminably rackedin meaningless debate, the experts have to get people to formulate theirpreferences in terms of false dichotomies, but to believe that they arereal dichotomies. Metaphysicians justify an abortion based on some "ultimate truth"they have discovered about the body, and that is why their only recourse onthe subject of abortion is to offer some hard fact about the fetus'sdevelopment in a certain week of gestation. To remain in existence, the Democraticand Republicans parties must create the illusion of choice, otherwiseAmericans would quickly forget these arbitrary affiliations, and recognizehuman solidarity as a more rational way to live. Hitler's director of the Racial HygieneSociety, Ernst Rudin was the same man that Sanger had previouslycommissioned for her own agenda, and she published his work in her ownmagazine, the Birth Control Review. The point of contention, however, is whendoes the child "separate" from the mother and become a being unto itself.The arguments fall into 3 classes; 1) arguments that cite the moment ofconception as the fetus becoming a being unto itself, 2) arguments thatinvoke some metaphysical finding about the fetus's first heartbeat orbrainwave, and 3) arguments that consider the child a being unto itselfonly once the umbilical cord has been cut, a literal physical separation ofmother and child. Ultimately, these serve to distract and misdirect the freeenergy of concerned Americans. The fetus has no capacity for language, so themother speaks for it because she is its representative. And that governments around the world are stockpiling new Swine Fluvaccines by the hundreds of millions? The issue of abortion is just more food for thefire. The false leftright paradigm can be taken up swiftly by the American people because ittakes its dominant metaphor from other bi-polar, zero-sum institutions inthe society, like sporting events. No amount of scientific research, or appeals toultimate truth, can reveal much more than we already know about fetusdevelopment, let alone prove the leaping inference it takes to call an 18-day old fetus a being unto itself. There is an incredible amount of free energy being wasted onthis debate, and that is the answer to how America created a sluggishcitizenry so uncritical of reality it doesn't realize its constitutionalrights are being eroded before it. But careful scrutinyof Sanger's own works and publications indicate that her motive was notreally "freedom of choice" but actually a desire to create a superior raceby eugenics. "We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably withsocial-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. I now want to return to the notion of the privacy of a woman's bodyand prove, by illustrating a stark contradiction, that the whole debateabout a woman's privacy to her body is a distraction and decoy; that shedoes not really have any control over her body, and neither do men norchildren. By now, I hope it is clear that noone has clear legal protection of his or her body from intrusion by thestate. She described the sinister plan in a letter to ClarenceGamble of the Procter and Gamble Empire. That is why scientific inquiry is apoor choice to decide an ethical question on abortion. In 1939 Margaret Sanger began "TheNegro Project" in which she enlisted black preachers to supportsterilization. This shows the ineptnessand dubious structure of the American government, as well as the arbitraryand incongruous nature of the laws. These too are polarized; Democrats and Republicans are hyper-polarized, and the foremost icons of the parties are thespians whosescripts instruct them to maintain the false left-right paradigm. Furthermore, given the recent "Swine Flu"propaganda, the right to decide what is best for ones body is in seriousperil. The stagnant nature of the abortiondebate is hurting us Americans by fomenting internal divisions andfactions. But the same woman, by force of law, mustsubmit her body and her child's body to a growing list of compulsoryvaccinations that can cause serious short term and permanent healthproblems, or even death. The mostsuccessful educational approach to the Negro is through a religiousappeal. Pro-life is not the opposite of pro-choice, but when theelectorate believes this with all its might the potential for reformsgridlocks. Anyone who suggests that birthing is not aprivate matter, but that it is a public (state) matter, is probablyadvocating a form of eugenics or totalitarianism, a form of government inwhich there is no privacy and no individual rights. Given this conflict does a womanreally have an absolute right to her body? How many Americans know that WHO "recommendations" are binding onall 194 member countries in case a pandemic emergency is declared under the2 5 International Health Regulations Act and April 2 9 WHO pandemic plan? No. The so-called right has aligned itself with one set of hyper-polarizations, andthe left has neatly aligned itself with the opposites. It is easy to spot anissue that has been politicized, and the abortion issue is no exception.Whenever an issue becomes hyper-polarized, so that there are only twopositions to take on it, it lends itself as fodder for the political partymachines. The only kind of inquiry needed to decide the ethical issue ofabortion is self-inquiry, because abortion is a private matter between themother and the fetus.
