“…it is impossible to understand the Left’s fixation with abortion except as a sacramental affirmation of the state’s power over man.”

I always maintained that this fixation is not just a sacramental affirmation of the state’s power over man. It also a reflection of the left’s hatred of judeo-christian philosophy–and how more you can negate especially the christian part of the tradition than by human sacrifice? That is really what it is.

It was the Mosaic tradition that stood in the contrast and opposition to many other creeds of the time, by its removal of the human sacrifice as a form of communion with gods. The christian tradition took that even further. The crucifixion of Yeshua ben Yusuf was the final interpunction mark, a period of that philosophical motif.
