"... somewhere, some kid who has never known a Jew, and doesn't understand the Holocaust, sits in the dark and listens to this [neo-Nazi] filth. And to that kid, their message may make sense. Kids like that don't get messages just from the Aryan Nations or other radical groups. They also hear from those who use these groups's tactics ... For example, because I support the right of a woman to make a choice about whether or not she wants to have an abortion, some extreme right-wing groups have labeled me 'Senator Death' and targeted me for political destruction. ... in their literature they describe me — and all pro-choice people — as having 'the blood of millions of innocent human lives on your hands.' And it troubles me that the same kid who listens to the message of the Aryan Nations will listen to this message as well ... They all show a totalitarian inability to hear both sides of an issue. They are "intolerant" and "intolerable.""

"I have drawn inspiration throughout this book from a guiding image, the Artemis of Greek mythology (known to the Romans as Diana, the Huntress). She is an untamed Goddess, a champion of what we would think of today as ecological values ... her myth is full of what appears to be the same kinds of contradictions that abound in considerations of abortion. Artemis is both protector of wild animals and a hunter who kills them with unerring aim ..." [page 1]
"The same goddess thus offers protection and also death to women, children, and animals. Why these apparent contradictions ... personified in a feminine divinity? Is it a way of saying that a woman's protective power cannot function properly if she does not also possess full power, namely, the power over death as well as life? Her image belongs to us as well as to antiquity, because like all fundamental images of the human experience, which C.G. Jung called 'archetypes,' she never really ages but reappears in different forms and different symbols ... She encourages us to become more aware of the power of death, its inescapable nature, and its necessary role in a living ecology. Abortion is about love, life, and death." [page 2]
"Judeo-Christian mythology has had the major influence on our Western culture for over two thousand years, providing the ideas, values, and symbolic images. Can we erase two thousand years of monotheistic influence by dropping all religious practice and declaring ourselves free of our parents' faith? Certainly not as has been proved by our sudden awakening to ecological values. We're only beginning to understand how a religion which strips nature of its sacredness so as to place everything sacred in one God (whose realm is not of this world) can be dangerous to trees, animals, oceans, forests, and body-consciousness, all of which were considered receptacles of the divine in polytheistic antiquity." [page 4]
"Our attitudes toward abortion are subconsciously stamped by Judeo-Christian values, even among those people who consider themselves completely liberated from them. We are now on the threshold of a liberalization of attitude toward abortion in many ways comparable to the freeing up of sexual attitudes thirty years ago. [page 5] There is more than one way to define morality, human dignity, children's rights, and the collective responsibility for life and death issues. It is also clear that all of this is intimately connected with global ecology." [page 6]
"This little book develops the idea that abortion is a sacred act, that it is an expression of maternal responsibility and not a failure of maternal love. ... Judeo-Christian values which may have seemed necessary, perhaps even redemptive, some two thousand years ago now appear more and more irresponsible, and I will try to show how they are infinitely more cruel than abortion. ... What kind of a pope ('el papa' in Italian) invests in Wall Street instead of providing for the hungry and destitute?" [page 8]
"In attempts to keep mothers away from them [midwives], the Church forbade the use of traditional remedies that eased the pain of childbirth, claiming that the desire to ameliorate such suffering contradicted the will of God [page 10] ... In 1591 a Scots noblewoman, Eufame Macalyne, was burned alive for having asked a midwife for drugs to ease her labor pains. Until the end of the nineteenth century, priests discouraged doctors from studying the causes of puerperal fever, the major cause of death among new mothers, because the Church considered these deaths an expression of God's judgment or punishment for some hidden immorality [page 11] ... Ingesting lead or ergot could make a woman permanently sterile, but only at the risk of damaging her health and sometimes losing her life. Still, women continued to use these methods, along with the notorious needles or crochet hooks which were used to open up the cervix to trigger an abortion, causing millions of women to bleed to death." [page 14]
"No one will be surprised to learn that the Catholic Church chose to ignore this practice [infanticide] . ... Rather than open up its coffers, the Church turned away. Rather than giving women the means of controlling births, it turned a blind eye to the results of its ideal principles. Children died of starvation, and the nurses were assumed to be incompetent. The babies could die as long as they were baptized! Nothing has changed, really. Today, Pro-Life groups within and without the Catholic Church pay scant attention to the misery of abandoned children, despite slogans and messages of love to the contrary, and they are prepared to sacrifice the lives of women [pages 16 and 17]. ... Genocide (for what is that if not genocide?) is not a sin for Judeo-Christian morality. Abortion is a sin, but the death of millions and millions of women is not. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are murderous religions for women, and I wonder what world court will have the courage to denounce the murder of women, as we denounce other human rights abuses." [page 17]
"Gupte, who also studied the "one child per family" program in China, concludes that draconian measures will have to be imposed on populations refusing contraception [page 19]. ... How many children need to be mistreated, abandoned, or even shot to open his [the Pope's] eyes? ... And the fundamentalists of every stripe still preach Go forth and multiply as a message of love! Until someone decides to send them the bill or the children themselves, they will not get the point. These leaders behave like irresponsible men who can never quite pay child support for their children but who buy themselves a luxury car and a fancy condo; they need these, they say, to polish their image and do business [page 20]. ... Neither the churches nor the politicians care about the children; they don't care about mothers; they don't care about tensions in local communities or the implications of over-population for global ecology. At the root of patriarchal religions is the need to control the bodies and souls of women. The minute women are set free, patriarchal institutions crumble. It is a fact of history. The leaders know it." [page 21]
"The Pro-Life message of love carries with it, for those who fall for it, a cruel reality — a brutal crowding together which robs everyone of his or her humanity [page 22]. ... A letter attributed to Clement (Bishop of Rome and fourth Pope from 89 to 97) mentions, for example, that anyone refusing to bow his head before bishops and priests was guilty of insubordination and must be put to death. Pope Innocent I, in the fifth century, proclaimed that God gave the Church the right to kill those who deviated from religious orthodoxy [page 23]. ... These same men who decide whether or not to kill in war then dare to talk about crime and murder when a woman sacrifices a fetus no bigger than a raisin and less conscious than a chicken. ... Men have the right to kill and destroy, and when the massacre is called a war they are paid to do it and honored for their actions. War is sanctified, even blessed by our religious leaders. But let a woman decide to abort a fetus that doesn't even have the neurological apparatus to register suffering, and people are shocked [page 25]. ... the power of death has been exclusively in the hands of men for far too long. ... The collective unconscious has always used different ways to reduce the population when resources and space are lacking or when the social climate deteriorates. ... the return of the ancient Goddess Artemis invites us to imagine a new allocation of life and death powers between men and women, an allocation that allows men to appreciate the cost of a life and women to make decisions based on their mother-knowledge." [pages 26 and 27]
She Shoots, She Kills!
She [Artemis] loves to hunt, in the shadows of mountains,
and in the wind, on mountain tops,
she loves to take her bow, her solid gold bow,
stretch it, and shoot off groaning arrows.
The peaks of great mountains tremble.
The forest in its darkness screams with the clamor of animals
and it's frightening.
The whole earth starts shaking, even the sea, the sea-life.
She has a strong heart,
she darts in and out everywhere
in and out, killing all kinds of animals [page 32]
"Artemis had a reputation for liking bloody sacrifices, including human ones ... a practice that has given paganism such a bad name ... The story of Artemis claiming Iphigena as a sacrifice can be told and understood in more than one way ... in one, Iphigenia is a victim, offered in sacrifice on the altar of Artemis; in the other Iphigenia becomes a heroine, and sacrifice takes on a different meaning. Since abortion is a kind of sacrifice, I believe an exploration of this myth may open up fresh avenues of thought." [page 34]
"Abraham's bloodthirsty God had been encouraging human sacrifice long enough for the patriarch to believe that the offering of his only son would be pleasing to Him ... When he restrains Abraham's arm, Jehovah states that he doesn't want to be honored in that way any more: This scene marks an evolution in Judeo-Christian mythology. [page 37] Paganism was discredited by the image of an innocent child being dragged by evil pagans to an altar to be sacrificed to a cruel female Goddess, as if God hadn't also demanded the sacrifice and crucifixion of his only son." [page 41]
"Heroic self-sacrifice is hard for me to appreciate because as a child I rebelled when the nuns suggested that I meditate before a bleeding Sacred Heart or a Christ on the cross, chest pierced through, nails tearing through flesh, forehead crowned with thorns [page 43]. ... Meat-eaters don't care about finding out how the animals they eat are killed or about the refined cruelty of the new methods designed to keep meet tender for gourmet dining . ... Every culture, whether it be matriarchal, patriarchal, ancient, or modern, has a certain way of sacrificing human life [page 45]. ... According to a very conservative estimate, the number of pagans massacred in the Holy Wars, the Crusades, and Inquisitions was a thousand times greater than all the Christians massacred for their faith or condemned by the Roman emperors." [page 46]
"Martyrdom, sacrificing for a cause, euthanasia, or heroic suicide that the media are so keen about — all these suggest daily that death, under certain circumstances, may be preferable to life. Abortion always has been and continues to be another way of choosing death over life. Aborting a fetus that is not welcomed is simply a shift in emphasis, for Christianity has always been a religion of sacrifice: It has sacrificed the mother rather than the child. ... The war between the sexes is a religious war. It's been said in more ways than one that the war between the sexes is first and foremost a religious war. ... Some values are worth the sacrifice ... Abortion always has been and continues to be another way of choosing death over life. [page 51]. ... Those millions of women across the centuries who died while aborting in appalling conditions were truly sacrificed, the unwilling victims of sexist religious dogma. ... If women are obliged to seek out clandestine abortions and so many die from them, then it's clear that our religious morality and our political will are not concerned about the sacrifice of their lives." [page 52]
"For two thousand years Christianity has spurned equality between the sexes: Women have neither a Goddess in their image nor a priestess to serve them. Under these conditions it's not surprising that the conservative religions fail to see that birth control and abortion can be the expression of a highly evolved form of feminine consciousness, not simply an egotistical act, and that the stability of the human community may depend on exercising and refining that awareness. From a pagan point of view, it is quite stupid and even absurd to sacrifice a mother for the sake of a newborn, because the child obviously needs her ... Artemis, who personifies respect for animal life, accepts the necessity of the hunt, but only if the rules and the absolving rituals are observed. In most Goddess religions a similar reasoning is applied to the fetus and the newborn. It is morally acceptable that a woman who gives life may also destroy life under certain circumstances." [page 53]
"The gesture of arms extended to receive and bless one's children was symbolic of the Mother Goddess. The Catholic pope borrowed it from her cult. Menstrual blood was not a curse imposed on woman for her sins (and her femininity) as in Christian dogma [page 55] . ... In this context the image of a pope extending a welcoming embrace is an illusion. The papal robes conceal an empty breast; his open arms take more than they give. Even though he dresses in robes, the clothing of women, and speaks of the Mother Church, the pope heads an institution that has systematically and very consciously desanctified all functions having to do with a woman's life cycle. This is why it's time to return to the symbolism of Artemis and all the other Goddesses, each of whom represents an aspect of feminine consciousness. Artemis stands for the refusal to give life if the gift is not pure and untainted, whether it be by the domination of one sex over another or by conditions that make it anything but joyful. [pages 55 and 56] We must constantly monitor the values attached to shame, as we educate the next generation, so that it can be put aside when it no longer expresses our ideals. ... When an abortion is necessary, not only should there be no shame but there should be a new consensus that to have a child who cannot adequately be cared for is shameful. It is not immoral to choose abortion; it is simply another kind of morality, a pagan one. It is time to stop being defensive about it, time to point an accusatory finger at the other camp and denounce its own immoral stance. ... As Artemis might kill a wounded animal rather than allow it to limp along miserably, so a mother wishes to spare the child a painful destiny." [page 56]
"The majority of women who abort do so because they know that the unwelcome child, born of constraint and misfortune, will be wounded in some unacceptable way. As Artemis might kill a wounded animal rather than allow it to limp along miserably, so a mother wishes to spare the child a painful destiny. There is nothing more cruel than the suffering of children, and mothers know this better than anyone. It is not immoral to choose abortion; it is simply another kind of morality, a pagan one. It is time to stop being defensive about it, time to point an accusatory finger at the other camp and denounce its own immoral stance [page 56]. ... Abortion is a sacred act [page 57]. ... Never would I suggest that aid be refused to a family who is raising a child made dependent by an accident of nature. As long as these accidents are not predictable, like fire and flood and other natural or biological catastrophes, the support of the government for families thus afflicted is a humanitarian act of which a nation can be proud. But as soon as an alternative exists, inevitably and immediately there are grounds for discussion. The parent than makes an informed choice, namely, to produce a child who will never be self-sufficient." [pages 58 and 59]
"If we want to point the finger today at morally unacceptable behavior, it would be those persons who force others to reproduce without taking responsibility for the consequences. Maybe we should send all the unloved, undernourished, uneducated children — the battered ones, the prostitutes, the delinquents — to the patriarchs of all churches who forbid contraception and abortion to their wives, mistresses, daughters or sisters [pages 61 and 62]. ... Forcing a child to live in a body that is hostile to it must be denounced as cruel. Life is too precious to allow sexist or religious hostilities to poison the very first stage [page 62]. ... In the case of difficult births, Catholic priests have, in the past, been under orders to sacrifice the mother's interest to the child's, and those mothers never had the chance to decide for themselves if they wanted to be sacrificed on the altar of maternity. ... But this choice of child over mother is evident today in even the most moderate Vatican pronouncements, because by denying women the power of choice, and therefore the power to destroy, the Church restricts a woman's function to her reproductive ability." [page 64]
"The relationship between serf and lord was the model chosen by the Church to define the relationship between the sexes: a wife must consider her husband to be lord and master, which was not then a stylistic device nor a joke but quite literally a form of inequality mandated by the Church. At several points in its history, official Christianity has attempted a theological justification of slavery and servitude, arguing that such inequality was as natural as the domination of man over woman (which to them seemed so basic and necessary that no justification was needed). It's a closed circle; sexism and servitude justify each other [page 66]. ... Religious standards that place woman in a double bind destroy them just as surely and in larger numbers as when, for example, a priest refuses to let a doctor perform an abortion that could save the mother's life. The Church has never really accepted the fact that women have souls, souls that suffer. Even today the basic fundamentalist position affirms that the fetus is more important than the mother. ... The Church will sacrifice the psychological survival of the mother to the fetus every time." [page 68]
"When a woman is told "Your baby is going to suffer, we need to do a Caesarean," she accepts right away out of love for her baby and out of fear of the doctors. She accepts being sliced open, needing months to recover from surgery, risking complications and very often postpartum depression because she is so weak. She accepts a huge and permanent scar, missing the important experience of giving birth consciously, for which she has prepared for months, and all of this, as a consequence of the Christian medical conspiracy [pages 69 and 70]. ... The Christian kingdom is "not of this world;" the soul is somewhere on high and the body below; separated, cut off from each other as spirit from flesh. The body is nothing, only ashes. But these values are disastrous in terms of health. They've also given us a sadistic form of obstetric practice [page 70]. ... "If ever my daughter, or one of my friends, had to choose an abortion, I would try to help her not waste her energy in feeling guilty. I'd try to help her understand that a grown woman who has the ability to choose must never behave like a little girl wanting a doll. I'd tell her that it's often necessary to say 'no' to children for their own good. "Charity begins at home" is a maxim that women should take very seriously." [page 81]
"Our culture needs new rituals as well as laws to restore to abortion its sacred dimension, which is both terrible and necessary [page 92]. ... Most women who choose abortion love children and are tempted, often unconsciously in an animal way, to keep the fetus. But it is through consciousness, a feminine consciousness, that they choose not to give birth. A ritual that is well adapted to the circumstances can help them feel the love, the sadness, and the regret associated with an interruption of pregnancy. I've heard women address their fetus directly, with a therapist or in a support group, and explain why it is necessary to separate now. Others write a letter of farewell and read it to a friend, a spouse or indeed to their whole family. Still others invent their own farewell ritual, inspired perhaps by rituals from other cultures, like offering a little doll to a divinity as a symbol of the aborted fetus." [pages 93 and 94]
"If a young woman aborts before she has had a child, it may be helpful for her shortly after the abortion to spend time holding a baby in her arms, cradling it and feeling the special beauty of a newborn. Some teenagers believe that having an abortion is a sign that one will not be a good mother! It helps them to think of abortion as a maternal decision, a mother's responsibility, the first a woman has to make, often without any previous experience of maternity. [pages 94 and 95] It's rare for a woman to choose abortion because in some way she dislikes the fetus. She sacrifices it for the sake of something she judges at this moment to be more important, whether it be her existing children ... or her own physical, economic, or psychological survival, or the fate of the planet." [page 95].
"When my turn came [for an abortion] I stretched out on the table, feet in the stirrups, ready to let my little darling go. ... I realized that, even if my head and my heart accepted the loss, my uterus still saw it as a mortal threat and was protesting with all its strength in an effort to protect its little lodger. I was very proud of my uterus for doing its job so well! ... The next day life went back to normal. But curiously, several friends I met asked me: "What's going on with you? You're so radiant today, you're absolutely glowing." What's going on is that I've just had an abortion and lived an impossible love and accomplished a great reconciliation with myself. But it was my secret and my gift. [pages 98 and 99] ... Christianity taught us to be ashamed of our bodies, of some of our emotions, of femininity, and many therapists are busy treating the embarrassment that lingers in the subconscious even when we think we've rid ourselves of old religious strictures [page 104]. ... When an abortion is necessary, not only should there be no shame but there should be a new consensus that to have a child who cannot adequately be cared for is shameful [page 106]. ... The same quality allows us to visualize a world of increasing respect for children, a world in which one can occasionally resort to abortion when it is necessary to sacrifice the fetus to a higher cause, namely, the love of children and the refusal to see them suffer. Abortion as a sacrifice to Artemis. Abortion as a sacrament — for the gift of life to remain pure. ... One must preserve in one's self ... an intact strength, inviolable and radically feminine; this is the Artemesian part of the anima which guards the untamed zone of our psyche, without which we risk becoming over-domesticated human beings, too easily touchable."

Pasternak, Judith (American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU))
"Intrauterine, prenatal surgery will no doubt bring joy and relief to many parents whose dreams of a healthy baby were formerly unrealizable. But this technological breakthrough is a medical one, not a moral one; the status of the fetus as patient may be different in degree from the status of the fetus of 10 years ago, but it is not different in kind. For thousands of years, healers have been trying to preserve the lives and health of fetuses whose mothers wanted them; only the sophisticated techniques and the rate of success are new.
"But these [fetal surgery] techniques and this success are new indeed, so dazzlingly new as to blind us, perhaps, to the fact that the moral premise of abortion remains unchanged. The "issue of abortion" remains the issue of the right of the woman to choose whether or not to carry something in her own body. No technological advances can rob her of her right to choose whether or not to keep it there" [emphasis in original].

That the licensing officers be on salaries and not on a fee basis. If on a fee basis the licensing officer might be tempted to grant a license when to do so would be contrary to the public interest. He would also be tempted to neglect the collection of information and the keeping of records.
4.
That no woman under the age of 50 years, or man of any age unless he marry a woman over the age of 50 years, be given a license to marry, unless he or she give ample evidence, either by a physician's certificate, or in an examination conducted by the licensing officer or a member of his or her staff, that the person is well informed on contraceptive technique. That this limitation be not applied if the candidate for marriage is sterilized.
5.
That no woman under the age of 50 years, or man of any age unless he marry a woman over the age of 50 years, be given a license to marry, except as she or he, or her or his prospective spouse, is employed at a net return per month which is at least as high in purchasing power as that of $100 in July 1950, with a reasonable prospect of continuing to be employed at a return at least that high. That this limitation be not applied if the candidate for marriage be sterilized, or if, on any other ground, a convincing case is made before a designated responsible administrator who certifies his conviction that no social burden will result from the marriage.
6.
That no person be given a license to marry except as he or she presents to the licensing officer a physician's certificate evidencing (a) that he or she has had a blood test and such other tests as are necessary to disclose venereal disease, or, if he or she has, it is not in a communicable form or a form that can become communicable; (b) that he or she has no other serious disease.
7.
That no woman under the age of 50 years, or man of any age unless he marry a woman over the age of 50 years, be granted a license to marry except as he or she pass an (name of test) I.Q. test with a grade of 90 or more, and except as he or she pass, satisfactorily, examinations demonstrating an education at least equivalent to that which an average student would acquire in six years of schooling, the examinations to be administered by a board set up for that purpose. That this limitation be not applied if the candidate for marriage is sterilized.
8.
That no woman under the age of 50 years, or man of any age unless he marry a woman over the age of 50 years, be granted a license to marry, if he or she is an habitual criminal, habitual drunkard, or a drug addict. That this limitation be not applied if the candidate for marriage is sterilized.
9.
That no woman under the age of 50 years, or man of any age unless he marry a woman over the age of 50 years, be granted a license to marry if the person be, through heredity, blind, deaf since early infancy, dumb, deformed in serious degree, epileptic, or insane. That every candidate for marriage be examined for these characteristics by an approved examining board, and that the licensing officer be not authorized to issue the license except as a favorable certificate from the said board is in his possession. That these limitations be not applied if the candidate for marriage is sterilized.
10.
That any unmarried person who engenders a child, or who becomes pregnant, shall be examined by the licensing officer and the other officials above designated, concerning his or her eligibility for marriage, and if he or she is not eligible, except if sterilized, he or she shall be sterilized through arrangements made by the licensing officer to prevent a repetition of society's misfortune. It shall be the duty of any physician or nurse under whose care the person comes, and of any state, county, or city employee learning of the circumstances, to report such cases to the licensing officer.
11.
A person entering this state from another jurisdiction must register within one month with a licensing officer and conform with this law as a citizen would have to, except as he or she can show that residence within the state is temporary and that she will not give birth to a child while in the state. Reports every two months to the nearest licensing officer are required, with the alternative of being treated as a citizen of this state.
12.
That all persons who are given a license to marry must have stipulated on the license, and on the state's record, by the licensing officer, a maximum number of children permitted the couple under the laws of this state. They are required to report each child to the office of the licensing officer six months before its birth and at the time of its birth. After the conception of the final child to which the couple are entitled but before it is born, they may submit to the licensing officer the records of any qualifications which they think may entitle them to a still larger number of children. If they qualify for a larger number, they are to be given, by the licensing officer, a certificate indicating the new maximum. If they submit no evidence, or having submitted evidence, still do not qualify for a larger number, then the mother must be sterilized at the time of the birth, or the father must be sterilized before the child is two weeks old. The physician under whose care the prospective mother has been during pregnancy is to express his opinion as to which is to be sterilized if there is a health factor involved. That opinion is to be controlling. If the physician has no opinion, the agreement of the couple shall be determining as to which shall be sterilized. If they are not in agreement, then the one with the lesser qualifications is to be sterilized. Arrangements for the sterilization are to be made by the licensing officer.
13.
That the licensing officer make arrangements for the sterilization without fee of persons for whom it is required under Articles 10, 11 and 12 of this Act, and of such persons as request it for compliance with the provisions of Articles 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9.
14.
Couples are to be authorized for reproduction according to the following scale:

There shall be a State Board of Human Genetics composed of three members appointed by the Governor, one for 1 year, one for two years, and one for three years. Thereafter, each appointment is to be for 3 years. Each appointee must be well trained in genetics, must have a doctor's degree from an institution accredited by the Association of American Universities, and must, as prerequisite to taking office, publicly declare his or her approval of the purposes and method of this law, in the administration of which he or she is to participate. He or she need not previously have been a resident of this state.
16.
The Board shall appoint the licensing officers, and shall oversee their work. It shall keep such records and conduct such studies as it thinks appropriate. Funds shall be allocated to their use for the purposes herein set forth.
17.
Persons with socially beneficial qualifications which are not regularly allowed for in the foregoing provisions may apply to the Genetics Board for a higher quota of children than that dependent on their IQ and educational attainment. Musical ability, special achievement in the sciences or the liberal arts, in mechanical invention or in organization, are illustrative. The Board shall consider each case in view of the employment conditions, and the number of special allocations already made, as well as of the likelihood of social contribution by the prospective children. Always the burden of proof is on the applicant, to justify a deviation from the standard quota. Not more than a tenth as many children are to be authorized in any one year by special action of the Board as the number that is authorized under the IQ and education provisions. However, with the rule of law as an objective, it is provided that the Genetics Board shall not have power to reduce the number of children which a person may have under the law. The board shall have power only to enlarge a person's quota. But the Board is invited to recommend to the Legislature, when it sees fit, any changes in the classifications and quotas which its members believe would be of benefit to the state, setting forth in writing the recommendations and the reasons for them.
18.
This state recognizes that the partnership family is less effective than in previous decades as a social agency for reproduction; that the partnership family may not be sufficiently adapted to the urban phases of a civilization to justify its exclusive sanction as the only social agency for reproduction; that the census statistics show that 40 percent of college graduate women in the larger cities are not married. It is possible that re-emphasis on offspring, as an objective worth while for leaders, will revive family life and change the present bases on which men choose their wives. This state recognizes that until such time, or until the development of a new organization for reproduction, something must be done to prevent the loss of high quality heredity of women who remain unmarried. It is therefore enacted that single women may apply for licenses to reproduce by artificial insemination, and be authorized for children on the same basis that they may be authorized when applying for a marriage license, except that (a) only men with a rating for an unlimited number of children, or men approved by the Genetics Board as of world-renowned merit, are to be sires for their children; and except that (b) the number of children for whom they are authorized shall be the same as if the sire's IQ and education is the same as their own.
19.
The Board shall maintain a list of sires who will have agreed to serve; and at request of a single woman, or of a couple, authorized for a child, shall act as intermediary. Charge to applicant shall be postage, and expense of venereal tests and of tests of blood types for the woman and for the prospective sire. There is to be no payment for sires. Their opportunity for participation in the world's improvement is reward enough. The choice available to the authorized woman or couple is not to be limited to the Board's list."

"It's daring and honest and it does not do what some people read into it, which is condone any violent acts involving an animal, sexual or otherwise. ...

San Francisco Chronicle, March 20, 2001.
"It is inconsistent to be pro-life and also support violence, misery, and death every time you eat. The issue of abortion involves many decisions, but going vegetarian involves only one. We have to ask ourselves, "Do I want to support animal abuse by eating the corpse of a tortured animal?" Not everyone faces the abortion question, but everyone eats. For a person committed to saving lives, the answer should be obvious.
"If you're concerned about the sanctity of life, please be concerned about all life. Eating meat causes immense suffering. ... while abortion may be a complex issue, choosing a pro-life diet is easy and saves many animal lives.

"In the Inner Mongolian capital of Hohot, however, hospital doctors practice what amounts to infanticide by a different name, according to a Hohot surgeon who would not allow his name to be used for fear of reprisal. After inducing labor, he revealed, doctors routinely smash the baby's skull with forceps as it emerges from the womb. In some cases, he added, newborns are killed by injecting formaldehyde into the soft spot of the head. He estimated that hundreds of babies die this way in his hospital every year."

Translation of a letter sent by the Dalian Subdivision of the Walfantia Bearings Company to Ping Hong, one of its employees studying in the United States, on September 18, 1987.
"China adheres to the principle of combining government guidance with the wishes of the masses when carrying out its family planning policy. ...
"Given these factors, the government has always given priority to tireless publicity and educational work among the masses to enhance public awareness that birth control, as a fundamental policy, has a direct bearing on the nation's prosperity and people's happy family life. ...
"All forms of forced abortion are resolutely opposed. Artificial abortion, only as a remedy for contraception failure, is performed on a voluntary basis with guarantee of safety.
"China's family planning policy fully conforms to Iten 9 of the United Nations' Declaration of Mexico City on Population and Growth in 1984, which demands that "countries which consider that their population growth rate hinders their national development plans should adopt appropriate population plans and programs." It also accords with the UN World Population Plan of Action which stresses that every country has the sovereign right to formulate and implement its own population policy."

Measures have been adopted to punish those who do not follow these birth control regulations. These administrative and economic measures will be implemented after patient and persistent efforts to convince the violators to mend their ways have failed. These sanctions are as follows;
A.
To have a baby outside of marriage is to engage in criminal behavior. Any pregnant woman who is not married should be ordered to have an abortion.
B.
Any woman who does not have an intrauterine device inserted within four months after giving birth shall be fined 20 yuan per month until she accepts the device.
C.
If a woman who is eligible to have a second child has that child before she is given permission, or if any woman gives birth to a third child, all members of her family will lose their benefits. ...
F.
For farm families in violation of the birth control laws, their share of farm profits will be garnished when profits are divided at the end of the year.
G.
If any unauthorized baby dies within three months of birth, the penalty assessed will only be 300 yuan.
H.
If an unauthorized baby is the second, third, or subsequent child in a family, and sterilization has not been accepted, the family will be denied permission to build a dwelling, their water and electricity will be cut off (or their water and electric rates will be increased five to ten times, depending on the type of residence), grain coupons will not be issued, driver's licenses and private business licenses will be revoked. All of these sanctions will end when the sterilization procedure is performed."

Phelan, Lana Clarke
"Yearly, millions of women, driven in fear of the state — not of man's ancient gods — submit themselves to crude abortions at the hands of quacks, or attempt surgery on their own bodies to rid their agonized wombs of endoparasitic growths, which if unchecked, threaten their lives, their sanity, their existing families, their incomes and social futures ..."
"Men and women, world wide, must be taught there is nothing particularly spectacular in the act of conception, or even in giving birth. Any cow can do it. ... we must acknowledge that human conception is a matter of routine biology, and not as a result of moon gods shining divinely on upturned stomachs."
"Out of hundreds of women I have talked with across the United States who have undergone from one to 20 abortions each, not one has expressed any regret over the decision to abort, but all have expressed regret for the humiliation, hypocrisy and expense heaped on them by exploitive, sadistic [anti-abortion] laws.
"Another cliche [used by doctors to refuse to do abortions] is the timeworn "life has begun and I cannot play god" bit, yet daily each doctor sees nothing unethical in excising a cancer, performing a vasectomy on a requesting male without question, or using antibiotics to frustrate the will of god regarding life and death.
"In 1968 America, we are faced with incredible laws reflecting this occult impregnation of women, not by their mates, but by the god-sent seed of the state-approved god, whose seed woman may not reject under any circumstances.
"It is this unvoiced superstition and lingering fear of displeasing the old gods, or their present-day advocates, that keeps an uninformed public subservient to archaic abortion laws which compel every female made pregnant to bring forth her infant sacrifice to the gods. How, then, can we possibly poke fun at religious retardation in India, where cattle are worshipped and children starve, when a so-called educated and enlightened nation like our own suffers under and perpetuates an equally ridiculous theology in the form of law? The United States is the last real stronghold for this ignorance and cupidity [lust for wealth] held mainly in force by the moneyed hierarchy of a crumbling and retarded Roman Catholic Church."
"It is increasingly embarrassing for medical men to justify compulsory carrying of an embryo to term, based on the fantastic notion that this one unwanted sperm among millions has somehow been blessed by the Moon God.
"Abortion laws are sexual discrimination laws: a lie, a farce, and slavery in its cruelest sense. Her rights to human conscience are abridged. She becomes a beast, and is stripped of all human rights until the state has reaped its pitiful crop from her bleeding womb and mutilated psyche. Her body imprisoned by force, she is certainly deprived of her liberty, and with her physical labors chained to the care of unwanted infants for at least 20 years of her life, there is no opportunity for the pursuit of happiness outlined in our American dream. An animal, she is politically dead ..."
"When males set out to govern the sexual morality of females, we have rats guarding the cheese. ... The abortion laws are laws against the nature of woman in the most sacred and intimate area of her instinct, and compulsory pregnancy and motherhood is obscene prostitution of her soul and body which does little to enhance the image of rational males."
"The compulsory breeding of women by church and state is nothing more than ecclesiastical and legislative pimpery, in which the bodies of all women are utilized for state profit and pleasure. It is imperative that faced with the mounting, inundating tide of human fecundity these same men be openly charged with their crimes against nature, and all respect and honor be removed from them until they remove once and for all the obscene laws with which they intrude so crudely and salaciously into our private lives."

Lana Clarke Phelan. "Abortion Laws: The Cruel Fraud." Speech presented at the First California Conference on Abortion at Santa Barbara, California in March of 1968 by the Society for Humane Abortion, Inc., San Francisco, California [emphasis in original transcript].
"FAKING THE HEMORRHAGE"
"From this moment on, we are pure fraud, and don't you forget it! We are going to make the best blood-and-guts hemorrhage we know how to put together, and present them with it at the county hospital. Unlike the woman who begs for an abortion on grounds of insanity, or rape/incest fun laws, and must face morality delays, the hemorrhaging woman and her physician know her condition will not wait for the legal moralists to carry on long discussions. Thus, if you appear on the hospital scene with a roaring hemorrhage, you stand a fair chance of getting abortion care without investigations, degradations, and rejections presently meted out by mediocre hospital abortion committees and smirking district attorneys.
"The first thing you need to know is where and how to borrow blood for your hemorrhage. So, as all women must, we turn to our kitchen for the ingredients.
"Home-Made Hemorrhage Ingredients"
2-3 lbs. of raw beef liver, freshly sliced
1 small syringe (ear or infant)
3-4 sanitary napkins
Old clothing you can get very bloody
1 taxicab ...
"Wash your hands. Scrub your fingernails thoroughly. Examine beef liver. Don't wilt or collapse: blood is the stuff of life. Cut the liver into small pieces and squeeze every bit of blood into a clean bowl. Ideally, you need about three cups of blood. If there are clots, so much the better, so do not mash or destroy these. They give an authentic look to your efforts ... Tuck a piece of plastic under your bottom so you won't ruin your rug or bedding. Lie flat on your back with your legs elevated. Prop up pillows if necessary. Tuck the mashed pieces of liver far up your vaginal tract. Take the little rubber syringe, fill it from your interesting bowl of hemorrhage-mix and squirt your vaginal tract full of as much blood as it will hold ...
"If you have followed your instructions faithfully to this point, you will not really have to fake weakness and pallor. You already look and feel sick! Acting a "life or death" role is always exciting, so expect an increased pulse rate and do not worry about your pounding heart. Appear worried, confused and very ignorant of everything. The medical profession loves the image of the dull, cow-like woman, so be what they want you to be."

Piercy, Blodwen (Canadian Humanist writer)
"James Prescott in [the] U.S. has studied personally profiles of pro-choice and anti-choice individuals and cultures, including primitive cultures, university students and U.S. legislators. He found that anti-choice people tend to fit a profile with the following characteristics:
1.
Favoring authoritarian control over others (e.g. slavery in primitive cultures and anti-abortion legislation today);
2.
Support of human violence and disregard for human dignity (e.g. torture and killing of enemy in warfare; support of capital punishment, the war in Vietnam and Contra aid);
3.
Opposition to gun control legislation;
4.
Support of violent attacks on abortion clinics;
5.
Indifference to human pain and suffering by legislative refusal to provide effective medicine for the pain of dying cancer patients;
6.
Authoritarian control of sexual expression reflected in the punishment of prostitution, premarital and extramarital sexuality, adultery, and homosexuality;
7.
Indifference to the quality of life of children in the failure to provide basic medical care, food, education and clothing for poor children (by legislative action);
8.
A moral value system that equates human pain, suffering, and violence with moral strength;
9.
And conversely, equates sexual pleasure and relief from pain and suffering with moral weakness.
"The correlation of these characteristics was much larger than chance; though individuals vary, it clearly shows the anti-abortion profile as a punitive personality."

"It was part of women's long revolution. When we were breaking all the old hierarchies. Finally, there was one thing we had to give up too, the only power we ever had, in return for no more power for anyone. The original production: the power of birth. Cause [sic] as long as we were biologically enchained we'd never be equal. And males never would be humanized to be loving and tender. So we all became mothers. Every child has three. To break the nuclear bonding."

Polyamory Society
"The present day Polyamory Movement grew out of the Group Marriage and Communal Movement of the nineteen sixties and seventies. The term 'Polyamory' was not coined until the nineteen eighties. Prior to the nineteen eighties the words that were used were Group Marriage, Plural Marriage, Polyandry, Polygamy and Polygyny.
"Polyamory is the nonpossessive, honest, responsible and ethical philosophy and practice of loving multiple people simultaneously. Polyamory emphasizes consciously choosing how many partners one wishes to be involved with rather than accepting social norms which dictate loving only one person at a time. Polyamory is an umbrella term which integrates traditional multipartner relationship terms with more recent terms. Polyamory is from the root words 'Poly' meaning 'many' and 'Amor' meaning 'Love' hence "Many Loves" or Polyamory.
"Polyamory is a lovestyle. Not a group, sect, or cult asking Polyamorists to isolate themselves from their loved ones or asking them to follow a specific dogma or doctrine. It is not about your family member isolating themselves away from their family of origin but about expanding the family. Polyamory is not a swing club or group. Polyamory is not about recreational or promiscuous sex. Most Polyamorists are not promiscuous people.
"Polyamory is about community, honesty and ethics. Polyamory is about future family models and the belief that human beings have the ability to love more than one person intimately in a committed, sustainable, multiple relationship. Polyamory is about maturity and overcoming our jealousies. Practicing new concepts such as Compersion. ... The term was coined by the Keristan Commune in San Francisco which practiced Polyfidelity."

"We find many beautiful and mutually satisfying [sexual] relationships between fathers and daughters. These may be transient or ongoing, but they have no harmful effects ... Incest between adults and younger children can also prove to be a satisfying and enriching experience ... When there is a mutual and unselfish concern for the other person, rather than a feeling of possessiveness and a selfish concern with one's own sexual gratification, then incestuous relationships can — and do — work out well. Incest can be a satisfying, non-threatening, and even an enriching emotional experience, as I said earlier."

"This man had had homosexual relations with 600 preadolescent males, heterosexual relations with 200 preadolescent females, intercourse with countless adults of both sexes, with animals of many species, and besides had employed elaborate techniques of masturbation. Of thirty three family members, he had had sexual contacts with seventeen. His grandmother introduced him to heterosexual intercourse, and his first homosexual experience was with his father."

Saunders Company, 1948 [NOTE: According to the infamous Table 31 of the Male Report, "Preadolescent Experience in Orgasm," children as young as two months were manipulated, and infants as young as 5 months "achieved orgasm." Many of the younger children had to be masturbated for more than ten minutes, according to Table 32, "Speed of Preadolescent Orgasm." Table 34, "Examples of Multiple Orgasm in Preadolescent Males," alleged that an 11-month old achieved 14 "orgasms" in 38 minutes, a 4-year old experienced 26 "orgasms" in 24 hours, and a 13-year old had three "orgasms" in one minute. Such intense physical stimulation appeared to be agonizing to the youngest children, as evidenced by the above description of their reactions when being "manipulated"].

The commemorative event was sponsored by the International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF/WHR) and endorsed by United Nations agencies and dozens of national and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including Population Communications International ... it is predicted that unless family planning and maternal health care are continued and expanded, the memorial ritual will need 650,000 carnations in less than 10 years. ... "Imagine a jumbo jet circling over our heads," IPPF/WHR President Billie Miller told the dignitaries clustered amidst the half-million carnations. Miller, who is also a Barbados Member of Parliament, continued: "[The jet] is full of pregnant women. Now watch it crash in front of your eyes, here on the North Lawn. There are no survivors. There's another crash, every four hours, every day, all year long. That's how many women die from pregnancy and childbirth." The message was a graphic conclusion to the first IPPF/WHR Flowers for Mothers Day."

B.
Establishment of Involuntary Fertility Control
1.
Mass use of "fertility control agent" by government to regulate births at acceptable level: the "fertility control agent" designed to lower fertility in the society by 5 percent to 75 percent less than the present birth rate, as needed; substance now unknown but believed to be available for field testing after five to fifteen years of research work; to be included in water supply in urban areas and by "other methods" elsewhere (Ketchel); "addition of temporary sterilants to water supplies or staple food" (Ehrlich).
2.
"Marketable licenses to have children," given to women and perhaps men in "whatever number would ensure a reproductive rate of one," say 2.2 children per couple: For example, "the unit certificate might be the 'deci-child,' and accumulation of ten of these units by purchase, inheritance or gift, would permit a woman in maturity to have one legal child" (Boulding).
3.
Temporary sterilization of all girls via time-capsule contraceptives, and again after each delivery, with reversibility allowed only upon governmental approval; certificates of approval distributed according to popular vote on desired population growth for a country, and saleable on open market (Shockley).
4.
Compulsory sterilization of men with three or more living children (Chandrasekhar); requirement of induced abortion for all illegitimate pregnancies (Davis). ...
D.
Incentive Programs
1.
Payment for the initiation or the effective practice of contraception: payment or equivalent (e.g., transistor radio) for sterilization (Chandrasekhar, Pohlmann, Samuel, Davis) or for contraception (Simon, Enke, Samuel).
2.
Payments for periods of nonpregnancy or nonbirth: a bonus for child spacing or nonpregnancy (Young, Bhatia, Enke, Spengler, Leasure); a savings certificate plan for twelve-month periods of nonbirth (Balfour); a lottery scheme preventing illegitimate births among teen-agers in a small country (Mauldin); "responsibility prizes" for each five years of childless marriage or for vasectomy before the third child, and special lotteries with tickets available to the childless (Ehrlich).
E.
Tax and Welfare Benefits and Penalties: an anti-natalist system of social services in place of the current pro-natalist tendencies.
1.
Withdrawal of maternity benefits, perhaps after N (3?) children (Bhatia, Samuel, Davis) or unless certain limiting conditions have been met, like sufficient child spacing, knowledge of family planning, or level of income (Titmuss and Abel-Smith).
2.
Withdrawal of children or family allowances, perhaps after N children (Bhatia, Titmuss and Abel-Smith, Davis).
3.
Tax on births after the Nth (Bhatia, Samuel, Spengler).
4.
Limitation on governmentally provided medical treatment, housing, scholarships, loans and subsidies, etc., to families with fewer than N children (Bhatia, Davis).
5.
Reversal of tax benefits, to favor the unmarried, and the parents of fewer, rather than more, children (Bhatia, Titmuss, and Abel-Smith, Samuel, Davis, Ehrlich, David).
6.
Provision by the state of N years of free schooling at all levels to each nuclear family, to be allocated by the family among the children as desired (Fawcett).
7.
Pensions for poor parents with fewer than N children as social security for old age (Samuel, Ohlin, Davison).
F.
Shifts in Social and Economic Institutions: i.e., broad changes in fundamental institutional arrangements that could have the effect of lowering fertility.
1.
Increase in minimum age of marriage: through legislation or through substantial fee for marriage licenses (David, Davis); or through direct bonuses for delayed marriage (Young); or through payment of marriage benefits only to parents of brides over twenty-one years of age (Titmuss and Able-Smith); or through a program of government loans for wedding ceremonies when the bride is of a sufficient age, or with the interest rate inversely related to the bride's age (Davis, personal communication); or through a "governmental 'first marriage grant' ... awarded each couple in which the age of both partners was twenty-five or more" (Ehrlich); or through establishment of a domestic "national service" program for all men for the appropriate two-year period in order to develop social services, inculcate modern attitudes including family planning and population control, and at the same time delay age of marriage (Berelson, Etzioni).
2.
Promotion of requirement of female participation in labor force (outside the home) to provide roles and interests for women alternative or supplementary to marriage (Hauser, Davis, David).
3.
"Direct manipulation of family structure itself" — planned efforts at deflecting the family's socializing function, reducing the noneconomic utilities of offspring, or introducing nonfamilial distractions and opportunity costs into people's lives;" specifically, through employment of women outside the home (Blake); "selective restructuring of the family in relation to the rest of society" (Davis).
4.
Promotion of "two types of marriage, one of them childless and readily dissolved, and the other licensed for children and designed to be stable;" the former needs to be from 20-60 percent of the total in order to allow the remainder to choose family size freely (Meier and Meier).
5.
Encouragement of long-range social trends leading toward lower fertility, e.g., "improved and universal general education, or new reads facilitating communication, or improved agricultural methods, or a new industry that would improve productivity, or other types of innovation that may break the 'cake of custom' and produce social foment" (UN ECOSOC).
6.
Efforts to lower death rates even further, particularly infant and child death rates, on the inference that birth rates will follow them down (Revelle, Heer and Smith).
G.
Approaches via Political Channels and Organizations
1.
U.S. insistence on "population control as the price of food aid," with highly selected assistance based thereon, and exertion of political pressures on governments or religious groups impeding "solution" of the population program, including shifts in sovereignty (Ehrlich)."
2.
Re-organization of national and international agencies to deal with the population problem; within the United States, "coordination by a powerful governmental agency, a Federal Department of Population and Environment (DPE) ... with the power to take whatever steps are necessary to establish a reasonable population size" (Ehrlich). ..."
