Life, No Matter How Inconvenient….Matters

Bill Maher has done us a great service.  He has spoken the truth.  He has uttered a core “value” of the left, one that goes back more than a century.

“I do believe in more DNA testing. My motto is let’s kill the right people. I’m pro-choice, I’m for assisted suicide, I’m for regular suicide, I’m for whatever gets the freeway moving – that’s what I’m for. It’s too crowded – the planet is too crowded – and we need to promote death.”

This is the kind of refreshing honesty you can’t get from most Democrats because they are afraid you will be horrified by it and never elect them to office.  But this is who they are.  And you should be horrified, and you should not elect them to office, because Maher’s honesty exposes the lefts  intellectual roots.  This is a party descended from eugenicists whose support for abortion and “end of life decisions” is based on a desire to “people” their inevitable man-made utopia with only the best the human race has to offer (as defined by them), and to use the power of the state to reduce the burden of any life that could be or has come to be inconvenient to that end.

Margret Sanger was not giving away contraception because women had a right to it, she did it to prevent the birth of burdensome people she viewed as genetically inferior.  She didn’t want them polluting her gene pool.  (The soft fascism of the modern left). Decades later, her own intellectual offspring developed into the modern day Planned Parenthood, the number one left-wing  eugenics facilitator in the nation, extinguishing the unborn babies of primarily low income and minority women at genocidal rates.

These ideas are not separate or disparate.  They evolve from the same core cultural value which Bill Maher has elucidated for general consumption.

Maher does lose points for falling back on Malthusian lie of overcrowding.  Any Democrat who could find time to get away from a major coastal metropolis for longer than a weekend would realize that just because they choose to live in crowded, dirty, crime riddled places, does not mean the whole world is like that.  Most of it is empty, spacious, void of content…like Bill Maher’s head.  A head that like the Democrat party is empty of faith and hope for the potential value that every life represents, from conception to natural death, no matter how inconvenient it may appear to those living it, or those around them.

But Maher’s variety of thinking has been propagandized into the population.  It has become a part of the conscious and unconscious norms to a point at which the value of life is less important than the inconvenience it might present to the living.  If it gets too inconvenient, well let’s just end it.

And before you get your panties in a bunch, this is not about a health decision, or a right, or a choice.  It is the steady and systematic empowerment of the State to decide what life is worth living and who or how it may be ended.   Those who support it, be they Democrats who do not know better or Libertarians who think it is a personal freedom, are blinded to or simply choose to ignore human nature and its relationship to power.   People who should know better just assume or naively accept that this will be the limit of the state’s reach on the matter of deciding who can live or die, but when something becomes part of the culture and is no longer abhorrent, what prevents us from moving to the next step?

“My motto is let’s kill the right people. I’m pro-choice.”

Culture is the foundation upon which policy is built.  A culture that embraces abortion and suicide is one that invalidates the value of any life with or without government interventions, but human nature being what it is invites regulation and control.   We can’t just let people in pain off themselves?  We have to regulate that, right?

And so we do.  And we take another step toward the kind of state controlled eugenics that Bill Maher does not find the least bit unreasonable.  The kind of control that inevitably empowers–even forces the state into deciding who will have abortions and who will get end of life “therapy,” which leads to who has to have contraception, and if that gets too expensive who then is a good candidate to be sterilized, and who gets a hip replacement, or a preventative exam, or who deserves life improving drugs that are very expensive but without which they might soon become a candidate for a discussion about end of life options.

As a conservative I can see the path clearly, from where this journey begins (began), in conjunction with the deliberate destruction or subjugation of every cultural institution that stands as a barrier to the most likely end.  There is a concerted effort to devalue life, the family, marriage, old age….and we’ve been on this path for too long.  If you let the culture define the value of human life for you, not just death decisions but quality of life decisions,  you will get a government willing to enforce that kind of culture whether you want to participate in it or not.

The state does not readily give up power once you have granted it.  So i you put your feet on this path, if you insist on continuing to walk it, you have to be prepared to walk it to the very end knowing what the likely outcome could be.  Knowing that you have made it possible.  Knowing, even, that in a moment where you thought you were protecting a right, or expressing a liberty, that you may– in fact–have exchanging a fleeting desire for despotism later on.
