Circumcision is the Spiritual Foundation of Mass-Abortion
The glorification of abortion could not exist without the acceptance of circumcision.
Circumcision rests upon the idea that children have no feelings, and no memories of what you do to them, and therefore don’t notice or care when you slice into one of the most intimate areas of their body with a knife, and cut off an entire sense organ. It doesn’t bother them. They are the property of their parents, and therefore whatever their parents want to do with their tiny vulnerable bodies, they can do – including cutting into their flesh with a knife, if they so desire. It’s the parents’ “choice.”
And that’s exactly what the abortion-glorifier argument is:
“Fetuses have no feelings, and no memories, and therefore don’t suffer when you poison them or pull their bodies apart with metal clamps. They are the property of the moth- excuse me, birthing individual – who is carrying them in his/her/their/zeir uterus, and therefore the uterus-haver may terminate them if they/zey so desire.”
The latter argument rests upon the former.
And it’s hard to see where the abortionists are wrong for deducing this, given the acceptance of circumcision. If a fully born baby doesn’t feel you slicing apart his privates with a steel blade, then obviously a fetus, who is less developed, can’t feel any pain either. You’d never have a situation in which a fetus is alive and conscious, but then conveniently loses that consciousness upon being born, and then gains it again once circumcision is tidily out of the way. That’s not a thing. That’s not how it works.
If fetuses are conscious, then newborns are obviously conscious.
And if newborns are NOT conscious (as circumcisionism requires us to believe), then obviously fetuses are not conscious either.
The mental gymnastic move of denying the consciousness of someone due to their natal development stage in order to make an act of violence against them conveniently moral was pioneered by defenders of circumcision long before it was plagiarized and commandeered by mass-abortion defenders. And the abortionists would never have been able to get away with it and convince the public to accept it, if the circumcisionists hadn’t already blazed that despicable trail through the human psyche and maintained it with markers and signposts all the way through.
If you defend circumcision, you are maintaining the demonic spiritual foundation of abortionism.
