Book Description
In a kind of “Sequel” to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago (quoted throughout), with Solzhenitsyn’s intellect, honesty and intense passion for speaking Truth William Baptiste unravels 380 years of bad philosophy that has resulted in Marxism, anti-scientific Postmodernism developed by Marxists to protect Marxism from facts, and current Neo-Marxist Identity Politics which foments racial hatred, which all frequently accompany legal human-killing abortion, which was first legalized 100 Years ago in 1920 Marxist Soviet Russia as a prelude to legalizing the genocide of millions of William’s ethnic heritage. Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand . . . it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.” The divisive fundamental incompatibility between democracy built on Equal Human Rights and legal slavery/legal abortion which both deny Equal Human Rights to all humans will incessantly scream for resolution, and in the end we will have to keep democracy and lose legal abortion (as we lost legal slavery), or else keep legal abortion and lose democracy. Jordan Peterson’s fellow Canadian intellectual, non-partisan thinker & logician William Baptiste, is fed up with Pro-Choice ‘Creeping Totalitarianism’ taking away normal democratic freedoms of speech, expression, assembly, conscience & religion of Pro-Life Human Rights Advocates, including real doctors who follow the 2500-year Hippocratic Medical Tradition that doctors don’t kill. Officially Pro-Choice political parties in his country and others keep asininely insisting the Abortion Debate (the Human Rights for All Humans Debate) is “settled” in their favor, all while they pass totalitarian laws making peaceful Pro-Life Human Rights Advocacy a crime in order to silence the Free Speech of Pro-Lifers. All because Pro-Choice politicians simply cannot win a respectful, intellectually honest, intelligent, rational, scientific and rigorously logical debate about abortion. Abortion which was first legalized by the evil Soviets & Nazis specifically because neither believed that killing humans is wrong. A proper, intelligent and intellectually honest Human-Rights-educated Abortion Debate (Human Rights for All Humans Debate) has never occurred, neither in the author’s country nor anywhere else. Pro-Life Equals Pro-Democracy is William Baptiste’s initial contribution to an honest, intelligent dialogue which actually considers and does not ignore established facts of Human Rights History and Biological Science; a dialogue which is conducted honestly according to sound logic, avoiding the logical fallacies of the intellectually dishonest (which include every single argument typically proposed for legal abortion). Pro-Life Equals Pro-Democracy with its Intellectual Honesty Challenge intends to both ACTUALLY START and SUCCESSFULLY END the Human Rights for All Humans Debate (the Abortion Debate) Once and For All; and Proclaims THE THINKING REVOLUTION to Protect Free Democracy For Centuries. When judged according to the objective standards of Science and Logic - and undisputed facts of Human Rights History - the Pro-Choice position for legal abortion is revealed as not even remotely intellectually defensible, and not even remotely acceptable in a LASTING democracy, which can only last on Democracy’s historic Pro-Life foundations. As Solzhenitsyn challenged the genocidal Marxist Soviet Communist Party, William Baptiste challenges every Pro-Choice Political Party which follows their legal human-killing abortion precedent to account for themselves before the public and repent of their totalitarian legal human-killing abortion evil – as intellectual honesty demands.

Abortion Politics
Author: Ziad Munson
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745688829
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Abortion has remained one of the most volatile and polarizing issues in the United States for over four decades. Americans are more divided today than ever over abortion, and this debate colors the political, economic, and social dynamics of the country. This book provides a balanced, clear-eyed overview of the abortion debate, including the perspectives of both the pro-life and pro-choice movements. It covers the history of the debate from colonial times to the present, the mobilization of mass movements around the issue, the ways it is understood by ordinary Americans, the impact it has had on US political development, and the differences between the abortion conflict in the US and the rest of the world. Throughout these discussions, Ziad Munson demonstrates how the meaning of abortion has shifted to reflect the changing anxieties and cultural divides which it has come to represent. Abortion Politics is an invaluable companion for exploring the abortion issue and what it has to say about American society, as well as the dramatic changes in public understanding of women’s rights, medicine, religion, and partisanship.

Beyond the Abortion Wars
Author: Charles C. Camosy
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 0802871283
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
The abortion debate in the United States is confused. Ratings-driven media coverage highlights extreme views and creates the illusion that we are stuck in a hopeless stalemate. In this book Charles Camosy argues that our polarized public discourse hides the fact that most Americans actually agree on the major issues at stake in abortion morality and law. Unpacking the complexity of the abortion issue, Camosy shows that placing oneself on either side of the typical polarizations -- pro-life vs. pro-choice, liberal vs. conservative, Democrat vs. Republican -- only serves to further confuse the debate and limits our ability to have fruitful dialogue. Camosy then proposes a new public policy that he believes is consistent with the beliefs of the broad majority of Americans and supported by the best ideas and arguments about abortion from both secular and religious sources.

Book Description
LEARN The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy to STOP Current Worldwide 'Creeping Totalitarianism' Now Threatening LASTING Democracy!YOU are in the flow of living history! The future of Human Rights and Democracy worldwide is being set RIGHT NOW, and YOU can help make sure they stop eroding away! LEARN DEMOCRACY 101 and Join a Worldwide Movement of EDUCATED Citizens Standing Up in SOLIDARITY to Ensure Human Rights and Democracy Last Forever on Their Firm TRADITIONAL, HISTORICAL, SCIENTIFIC and LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS!Learn How YOU Can Save Your Religious Freedom and Make Democracy Last Forever!Millions in Western nations who still hold the traditional Western values all our Human Rights and democratic freedoms were historically and logically built on (and need to last) have been made extremely uncomfortable by massive social and legal changes to Western societies over the last decades, which are now happening with increasing frequency and with increasingly anti-democratic and "totalitarian" character (the "total-control, belief-control" character typical of oppressive totalitarian States which do not understand that Democracy is government "of the people, by the people, for the people"). This effect is worse in some places than others, but 'Creeping Totalitarianism' is a worldwide trend gradually but increasingly undermining Human Rights and Democracy from their very foundations. In many jurisdictions for some time it has effectively become the case that citizens are only "free" to hold traditional Western values privately, in a home or church or synagogue, as long as those Traditional Western Values no longer influence public policy. But since, as demonstrated from undisputed historical (and scientific) facts and sound logic in DEMOCRACY 101, all Human Rights and democratic freedoms depend ultimately on the tried and true Western values they were built on, this means public policy is gradually becoming increasingly totalitarian in character. So now, as the anti-traditional, anti-democratic momentum of decades increases, in more and more places and professions people (even elected representatives) are being BULLIED INTO SILENCE about their traditional (democracy-grounding) values. In one region more advanced in 'Creeping Totalitarianism' (WARNING US WHERE THE REST OF THE WEST IS HEADING), the government just passed a new law that once strictly implemented will mean parents will no longer even be "free" to practice and teach traditional values AT HOME without LIVING IN FEAR about being REPORTED for TRADITIONAL childrearing in their democracy's FOUNDING VALUES which the radically anti-traditional (and 'Creeping Totalitarian') government no longer considers "in the best interests of the child" but rather as grounds to take children away from their parents! ALL THIS MADNESS is based on politicians and the voters who vote for them both being too UNEDUCATED in the history and logic underlying Human Rights and Democracy itself to know how to make Democracy last, and this sound HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION in a "crash course" called DEMOCRACY 101 is offered as the cure.*We can no longer afford to take for granted that Democracy, religious freedom, and Human Rights will just last if we do nothing to make them last*Any democracy that wants to REMAIN a democracy must keep its politicians accountable to democratic foundations and teach these to its citizens. OUR WESTERN DEMOCRACIES HAVE UTTERLY FAILED ON BOTH COUNTS.*There is no fruit without roots; we cannot long keep the fruit of Human Rights and Democracy without deep roots in the Traditional Western Values from which they historically and logically grew in the first place*DEMOCRACY 101 is thoroughly NON-PARTISAN, and merely calls ALL political parties to get back to their democracy's ROOTS if they have strayed*DEMOCRACY 101 details historically proven STRATEGIES for getting democratic governments compromised by totalitarian thinking to get back to their foundations.

The Rights of Women
Author: Erika Bachiochi
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268200807
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 475
Book Description
Erika Bachiochi offers an original look at the development of feminism in the United States, advancing a vision of rights that rests upon our responsibilities to others. In The Rights of Women, Erika Bachiochi explores the development of feminist thought in the United States. Inspired by the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft, Bachiochi presents the intellectual history of a lost vision of women’s rights, seamlessly weaving philosophical insight, biographical portraits, and constitutional law to showcase the once predominant view that our rights properly rest upon our concrete responsibilities to God, self, family, and community. Bachiochi proposes a philosophical and legal framework for rights that builds on the communitarian tradition of feminist thought as seen in the work of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese and Jean Bethke Elshtain. Drawing on the insight of prominent figures such as Sarah Grimké, Frances Willard, Florence Kelley, Betty Friedan, Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Mary Ann Glendon, this book is unique in its treatment of the moral roots of women’s rights in America and its critique of the movement’s current trajectory. The Rights of Women provides a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern political insight that locates the family’s vital work at the very center of personal and political self-government. Bachiochi demonstrates that when rights are properly understood as a civil and political apparatus born of the natural duties we owe to one another, they make more visible our personal responsibilities and more viable our common life together. This smart and sophisticated application of Wollstonecraft’s thought will serve as a guide for how we might better value the culturally essential work of the home and thereby promote authentic personal and political freedom. The Rights of Women will interest students and scholars of political theory, gender and women’s studies, constitutional law, and all readers interested in women’s rights.

Promises to Keep
Author: Joe Biden
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1588366650
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • President Joe Biden, the author of Promise Me, Dad, tells the story of his extraordinary life and career prior to his emergence as Barack Obama’s beloved, influential vice president. “I remain captivated by the possibilities of politics and public service. In fact, I believe that my chosen profession is a noble calling.”—Joe Biden Joe Biden has both witnessed and participated in a momentous epoch of American history. In Promises to Keep, Joe Biden reveals what these experiences taught him about himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government. With his customary candor and wit, Biden movingly recounts growing up in a staunchly Catholic multigenerational household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware; overcoming personal tragedy, life-threatening illness, and career setbacks; his relationships with presidents, with world leaders, and with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle; and his leadership of powerful Senate committees. Through these and other recollections, Biden shows us how the guiding principles he learned early in life—to work to make people’s lives better; to honor family and faith; to value persistence, candor, and honesty—are the foundation on which he has based his life’s work as husband, father, and public servant. Promises to Keep is an intimate series of reflections from a public servant who surmounted numerous challenges to become one of our most effective leaders and who refuses to be cynical about politics. It is also a stirring testament to the promise of the United States. Praise for Promises to Keep “A ripping good read . . . Biden is a master storyteller and has stories worth telling.”—The Christian Science Monitor “A compelling personal story.”—The New York Times “Moving . . . [Biden’s] response to tragedy and near death [is] both admirable and likable.”—Salon

Abortion Politics, Mass Media, and Social Movements in America
Author: Deana A. Rohlinger

ISBN: 1107069238
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
Weaving together analyses of archival material, news coverage, and interviews conducted with journalists from mainstream and partisan outlets as well as with activists across the political spectrum, Deana A. Rohlinger reimagines how activists use a variety of mediums, sometimes simultaneously, to agitate for - and against - legal abortion. Rohlinger's in-depth portraits of four groups - the National Right to Life Committee, Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women, and Concerned Women for America - illuminates when groups use media and why they might choose to avoid media attention altogether. Rohlinger expertly reveals why some activist groups are more desperate than others to attract media attention and sheds light on what this means for policy making and legal abortion in the twenty-first century.
