Socialism, Atheism, and Abortion
By William Dodd
Some say abortion is a 'health care' option for pregnant women. Others say it is the forced separation of soul and body of an unborn human being. In the U.S. the debate about whether abortion is good or bad for our society has become white hot with Blue State legislatures passing pro-abortion laws and Red States laws opposing abortion. The gap between pro-abortion Democrats and anti-abortion Republicans has been widening every year since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1973 that abortion was legal in all States. The Democratic Party now uses 'support of abortion' as a no-exception litmus test to be passed by any politician wishing to join the Party. The divide between political parties on the issue is now so wide that it is preventing rational debate on nearly all legislative issues whether abortion-related or not.
To understand the growing enmity between political parties on this issue requires a deeper look into the origins of abortion in modern society. The wide-spread practice and acceptance of abortion is a 20th century phenomenon, but its philosophical basis is a direct outgrowth of a 19th century philosophy about human nature called Scientific Socialism.
