Zeno’s Paradox

Three of the most defended flags of modern liberals are the “rights” to abortion, euthanasia and gay marriage. Beyond the morality of such (clearly delicate) issues, one thing that strikes me is that they all, in one way or another, work against the growth of future generations.

Since Europe is in the middle of a demographic crisis, with a growth below minimum replacement, the push for abortion is nothing short of suicidal. More abortions, less native Europeans. Simple as that.

Euthanasia is also a strange “right” to fight for. Several films, such as the Spanish “Mar Adentro”, or Clint Eastwood’s “Million Dollar Baby”, have painted it as a noble ideal. Yet somehow even in those films euthanasia appears in somewhat a gloomy light. If all you want to fight for is the right to “die”, then you don’t really seem to value life that much. The death wish of the individual is the mirror of the death wish of a society. That the most important rights fore some are “the right to be killed” (since euthanasia is not suicide, which is readily available for all), and the “right to kill your offspring” says a lot about modern liberals’ causes.

Gay marriage is a different issue, yet at the same time it also intends to promote a type of “marriage” that does not create future generations, thus only worsens the demographic issue that affects most of the developed West.

I don’t know if Europe wil regain its cultural confidence or not, and if current or future generations will reverse the march towards Islamization, economic decline and demographic decay, but Portugal’s recent aproval of abortionist laws does not bode well. The “future generations” are being killed already in the womb.
