This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2025 the theme is a random assemblage of things that are on my mind--or that just pop into my mind. Whatever! Let's just say I'll be "Tossing It Out" for your entertainment or however it is you perceive these things.

In Defense of Abortion and a Better Tomorrow



No woman can call herself  free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself  free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.   ---Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood)


“Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.” 
 Margaret Sanger


       So enough of the President Trump nonsense.  It's time to discard the foolishness of conservative values and face the world of tomorrow--the brave new world of progressive thinking and moral reconstruction.  As I see women marching for their rights, I stand in solidarity with them.  The past is dead and needs to be forgotten.  The future belongs to those who are willing to accept radical change.  

        Planned parenting and abortion will pave the way to a better tomorrow.  In a tumultuous world that is overflowing with human detritus filled with hate, disagreement, and degradation; as well as an excess of population taking up space and consuming the resources of our beautiful Earth, perhaps it's time to reevaluate why we are all here and who should remain to make this world the Eden that it was meant to be.

         There are far too many people who wander aimlessly through their lives or the masses who seem to merely exist as little more than a burden upon those who support that vast majority of a basically useless populace.  The world and those who drive socioeconomic structure cannot continue without eventually reaching the critical mass of a world conflagration that destroys everything.  A new movement of Darwinian Purification must be undertaken in order to save humanity if humanity is indeed worth saving.  

           Abortion is the first logical step in the purification of the human race.  Currently, the primary arguments for abortion are to prevent unwanted children from coming into the world either because of economic reasons, health or well-being of the mother, some fetal problem that would lead to a defective birth product or mere inconvenience,  Perhaps we should begin to see most pregnancies as unwanted and unnecessary except for only in cases where the most perfect of the species would be brought into the world.   Selective breeding should be the aim of future generations.

           However, abortion should be the one small step to advance humankind into the better tomorrow.   Unneeded unproductive humans should also be eliminated.  Any persons who are in any state of dependency in order to survive should be allowed to die or be exterminated.   This would include all who are disabled, sub-level intelligence, subsisting on welfare, institutionalized, or any other non-contributory segments of society.   Vast areas of populations in the world should be eliminated by arranged warfare subsidized by dominant governments or other means of organized extermination.   Whatever peoples who are determined to be unnecessary masses of resource consumers detrimental to the environment and economic well-being should be brought into control.

          As this process of population control continues, a focus should be directed toward eliminating the elderly.  Upon reaching a determined age such as 35, each person should be monitored according to their health and ability of self-sustenance.  When health or economic conditions dictate, these persons should be culled from the population pool except in cases where there is a special factor of contributory reasons to keep them alive.  

           These measures suggested in the above treatise might seem like extreme radical ideas to some who are stuck in old ways of thinking, but this is not a time for outmoded belief systems.  Tearing down the establishment is a good thing for the future even though it may not seem to benefit many of us living now.  But, after all, the future does not belong to us.   It does not even necessarily belong to all of the unborn children yet to be conceived.  Babies have no say in the future either.

- George Orwell


"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." - Isaiah 5:20


         Do you think the world is overpopulated?   What do you think is the best answer for a better future on Earth?   Were you reading between the lines?

When Things Don't Go Our Way

           The Hebrew prophet Jonah was instructed by God to go to Nineveh to warn its people that they were going to be destroyed if they did not turn to God.   Instead, Jonah ran in the opposite direction to escape from God.  Jonah was put back on God's course partly by being swallowed by a giant fish which returned him to land.  Jonah was successful in delivering his message to the Ninevites and getting them to repent and avoid God's wrath, but he was also resentful that God would save these evil people who were the enemies of Israel.  As he waited to see whether the city would be destroyed or not, God miraculously provided Jonah with a vine to shelter him from the blazing sun.   Jonah was happy to have this shade.

         But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the vine so that it withered.   When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah's head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, "It would be better for me to die than to live."
Jonah 4:7-8 (New International Version)

        In this short book of the Bible, we see Jonah as a man who behaves in a stubborn and childish manner.  He tries to hide, he stomps and pouts when he doesn't get his way, and he becomes totally self-absorbed without gratitude for the good things he has received and angry when those he thinks are undeserving receive blessings.  Jonah was obviously missing something in the account given in this book and he clearly needed instruction from God.

         Jonah was not recognizing that God is God of all of the Earth and of all peoples.   God blessed the Israelites, but they did not hold an exclusive claim to God.  God's compassion is directed to all who repent, believe, and sincerely beseech his mercy.  God wanted to show Jonah that even the Ninevites could be worthy of His compassion just as all sinners are.   One of the steps in the learning process was to bless Jonah and then take away the blessing so that he would suffer.

         In another book of the Bible we read the story of Job, who reacts to this concept in a very different way.  Job loses family, home, property, friends, and health and eventually is much worse off than we ever see Jonah.  However, instead of insolent behavior toward God, he accepts his fate and continues to honor Him. 

         Job said:    "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart.   The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."
Job 1:21 (New International Version)

         Job got it, but when we see Jonah in today's episode we see that he has not.   Jonah was angry with God because God showed compassion to the sinful Ninevites.   And yet, Jonah has failed to see the compassion God repeatedly shows him after his disobedience and his lack of respect.  God saves Jonah from drowning by sending a big fish to carry him back to land; God saves Jonah from death inside the belly of a giant fish by causing the fish to expel Jonah onto dry land: and God shields Jonah from the discomfort of the hot desert sun by providing him shade.  Now God takes away the shade to provide a lesson.

        Jonah is going to have to have this explained directly by God, who has been extremely patient with Jonah.   Next week we will learn the lesson that God wants Jonah to understand.

       But this week we once again hear Jonah saying that he would rather die than deal with his suffering.  This leads me to a thought that may be going out on a limb a bit.  When I think about what Jonah says I think about people who are suffering with pain and sickness, or dealing with things that they find to be personal injustices, or have some other inner problem that might lead to the extreme measure of suicide.  Jonah is not suggesting that he is going to kill himself, but he wants to die because of what he is going through.

        I don't think that God wants any of us to suffer, but is there sometimes a lesson in suffering?  Do any of us have the right to end our suffering by taking our own lives?   Likewise, if we consider euthanasia, does anyone have the right to end another's suffering by ending their life?  I'm not talking about pulling the plug on life support, but I am referring to the direct action of killing another human being because they are suffering.  Should death be the domain of God alone?   I am not addressing the acts of killing in war or the death penalty, but some would show abhorrence to these actions, and yet condone acts of euthanasia or abortion.  Do we ever have the right to take a life because someone is suffering physically, emotionally, financially, or for any other reason?

 Teach me your way, O LORD,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.


 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.


 For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.


 The arrogant are attacking me, O God;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life—
men without regard for you.


 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.


 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
grant your strength to your servant
and save the son of your maidservant.


 Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.


Psalm 86:11-17 (New International Version)
