Christian author says abortion helping them win the culture war

The viewpoints of some individuals are just plain scary. Here's a press release that was published on PR Web ...

According to the author of a new book, "Understanding the Cultural War in America," abortion is actually helping religious conservatives win the cultural war. By eliminating their offspring, liberals are inevitably handing the victory to the other side.

Broad Run, VA (PRWEB) June 28, 2005 -- Henry C. Smith, author of the new book, considers it one of the greatest ironies of our day. The very practice which religious conservatives have so fiercely opposed, has actually, in the end, helped their cause. And this same practice, which the humanists, liberals, and feminists have been fighting so hard to protect, is literally destroying their political base.

Mr. Smith points out that since abortion was made legal, roughly one quarter of the thirty and under generation has been exterminated. For every three children in our society today, there should have been a fourth, if it were not for abortion. Since conservatives in general, and religious conservatives in particular, do not approve of abortion, it stands to reason that the bulk of these dead children would have come from liberal homes, and probably would have become liberals themselves. By consistently eliminating such a large portion of their own political base, they are literally handing the victory to their opponents.

Mr. Smith believes the recent trend toward the right by American society, including the handover of the White House and both branches of Congress to the Republicans, is at least partially due to this effect.

As Mr. Smith points out in his book, “Understanding the Cultural War in America,” “While the humanists are busy killing off their own offspring, they are really helping us. I am not saying we should approve of abortion for that reason. It is clearly a wicked act, one which, from God’s perspective, is worthy of death. But we must not overlook the fact that those who commit this horrible act are nevertheless doing us a favor. By destroying their own offspring, they are killing off a source of future voters, the majority of whom would probably grow up to be just like their parents. Thus, abortion ultimately works to our advantage. It helps cleanse our society of future humanists.”

“We really shouldn’t be surprised at this result,” says the author. “Evil always tends to be self-destructive.”

Mr. Smith says this particular issue should not be blown out of proportion, as it only takes up a couple of pages in his 283 page book. The main thesis of his book is that America’s past success has been inevitably linked to its Christian foundation, and the moral and cultural decline of our society is the result of an attempt to replace this religious foundation with another religion, based on humanism. Unlike many similar titles available today, he also offers a well thought out (though somewhat surprising) solution to this problem that is threatening to destroy our culture.
