Aided by advancements in genetics and in 3D and 4D ultrasound, the science of fetology has clearly shown that the unborn baby is a human being. By the time a woman typically knows that she is pregnant, the unborn baby already has a heartbeat and brain activity. Claims by some pro-choicers that the unborn baby is nothing more than a parasite and a blob of cells are easily and readily dismissed -- even by other pro-choicers who have had some education in the basic biological sciences.

So why do these pro-choicers, who recognize that the unborn baby is a human being -- still insist that abortion is justified?

The answer to this question lies not in the biological sciences, but is rooted in a philosophy that was first organized and explained in a small book in 1920 by Alfred Hoche and Judge Karl Binding.

The name of this book was, Die Freigabe der Vernichtung Lebensunwerten Lebens, which is translated as, The Permission to Destroy Life Unworthy of Life, which recommended the active euthanasia of what is called, absolutely worthless human beings, including what it called the retarded, the deformed, and the feebleminded and senile. The book referred to eugenic murder as a healing work and an allowable useful act.

Frederick Wertham, author of, A Sign for Cain, wrote that, This little book influenced, or at least crystallized, the thinking of a whole generation.

According to this ideology, who then could be killed?

Karl Binding split the group of people which he wanted to be considered for killing into three groups.

Group One: A person who has been mortally wounded or is terminally ill and has somehow communicated their wish to die. The person does not have to be in pain, it is enough that they are in a helpless condition and that their condition is incurable.

Group Two: A person that is incurably mentally ill. Binding describes these people as having neither the will to die, nor the will to live. He describes them as living pointless lives and are a burden for society and their families. He also believed it to be unfair on caretakers to keep such lives unworthy of living alive.

Group Three: The people belonging to this group were mentally healthy people, which having suffered a serious injury are now unconscious. If they ever awake, they will awake to a nameless suffering.

According to this ideology, who then should decide on the killings?

Karl Binding wanted a committee to decide on a killing on a case by case basis. The committee was to consist of a doctor, a psychiatrist or other doctor and a jurist to check that the committee was acting within the law. Binding also wanted to allow for killings that were not controlled by a committee. Such a killing would only be legal if the person killing had either acted with permission, or on the assumption that an unconscious person wanted to die.

Binding argued that although there is always a possibility of mistakes being made, he saw the risk of losing a life as unimportant because humanity constantly loses so many lives by mistake, that just one more would hardly make a difference.

This ideology of life unworthy of life was used by the Nazis to designate segments of a populace that had lives that were not worth living and hence, were to be exterminated as an act of mercy. This included the physically or mentally disabled, the weak and the feeble, those with deformities, those who were burdens on society and others, those who were useless with no apparent function in society, those with inferior genetics when compared to the ideal. Included in this group were homosexuals, intermarriage partners, and criminals.

The ideology of Lebensunwerten Lebens also justified human experimentation on prisoners in addition to the development of Nazi eugenics programs and Nazi racial policies.

Consistent with the Nazi ideology of Life unworthy of life was the Nazi implementation of abortion into German society.

In 1933, when the Nazis came to power, the law was changed to legalize abortion and make this a matter of decision for a medical review board. The development of Germanys abortion policy was left to the country's most vociferous abortion advocacy group, the Berlin Chamber of Physicians. This group, which advocated abortion on demand, determined that the health of the mother - considered from all angles - is the decisive factor. Then, just as now, health of the mother criterion was loosely understood to mean any economic or psychological affect on the womans total well being.

There were approximately 500,000 abortions annually in Germany under the Third Reich, a country of 60 to 70 million people.

This has to be the worst ever case of double standards in human history, when abortion is 'all wrong' if it doesn't suit us, yet 'alright' if it does. If it is not a 'crime against humanity', it follows that those convicted at Nuremberg ought to be officially pardoned, their surviving relatives awarded $millions in compensation. Abortion is either a human wrong or a human right, but it cannot be BOTH. As somebody once said...'man has an infinite capacity to deceive himself'

Why are people pro life? You're proving your a hypocrite thru that because I know for a fact everyone has had tried eggs. They are no different than abortions yet we don't find it as "evil" now do we? God pro life is retarded as fuck.

@Sueezee1 says: Pro births favorite LIE.

So being born is a lie? Then how the fuck where you born?

If probirth is a conspiracy then pro abortion is being pro murder.

We actually with the hospitals that us catholics made and research confirmed our belief that abortion is murder.

@aselmac I do better myself. I'm in boyscouts and I'm opening a non profit organization to help kids who went through heart defects like me. I almost died within the first 6 month of life. Every kid deserves life.

@CatholicCreed

For a book about love and enlightenment, the bible sentences a LOT of people to death, to be stoned, to be imprisoned or not to teach men if they're female.

The dark ages called, they want their mythology back.

You do realize there's enough protein in plants, right?

I've been a vegan for 15 years, every year my doctor is just astonished about my health, I do sports 3 days a week, but I guess, "we all die because we lacked protein".

Wise up, tell us you're just too lazy to better yourself. That's a good reason that I respect. But don't hide behind bullshit facts that aren't science.

@MrAwesomesauce101 I think you should google: granthamcollection

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@XxCalypsoxX616 Those two aren't even in the same league. We eat eggs to survive. If we were all vegetarians or vegans then we'd all die eventually because we lacked protein. Do we kill fetuses to survive? Plus WTF are we supposed to eat, dirt? Everything we eat is alive plant or not it's life.

@CatholicCreed I reckon rebirth is the rules of the game. Consciousness moves from one meat bag to the next. If it has consciousness it is released for the next meat bag

@filthyterrible No you moron, go back and read your bible again, the potion has nothing to do with abortion, nor does 27, The bible also give the sentence of death for someone who causes premature birth if the child dies, or is born dead. .

[CatholicCreed]

@dyingtolive123 How would you feel to survivor of abortion, born of rape, you talking in front of a group signs hang around you, "Did i deserve the death penalty" after the show, you see someone has written "YES" in big black letters. you bust into tears.

Damn abortion.

[filthyterrible]

I don't think the Nazis invented abortion. Actually if you take the bible literally then the Christian God did. Numbers 5:11-31 for instance has an incantation and potion that is supposed to reveal if a woman is an adulterer or not. Verse 27 appears to be some primitive abortion. If the potion induces a woman's abdomen to swell and her thigh to fall or rot then she was guilty.

Prior to 20 weeks gestation a fetus cannot survive outside the womb because it's brain isn't online. 21 weeks it can.
