So has abortion been a major cultural and political issue (four four decades now) but the slaughter continues and now we’ll be forced to pay for it. The problem isn’t that there’s an intrusion by the state, it’s that there is a modern superstate, and like all temporal rulers, it is has its ambitions-that are packaged as necessitous public purpose.

Unfortunately, those zealous ambitions have means. The state has an unlimited and unbounded financing mechanism, unlimited jurisdiction (just ask the Supreme Court, they’ll find some authority in the enumerated penumbrae) and a monocultural worldview and well oiled machinery that extends material benefits for political loyalty and servitude .

Until statism is seen as the form of idolatry that it is, incomparable with authentic religiosity and fraught with the danger of tyrannies ranging from capricious edict to mass slaughter, this problem will remain. A website isn’t going to do it. Worse, the message is diluted with the moral equivalence and linguistic engineering of “undocumented immigrants”.

What is ironic is that those relentlessly search for, and become “ballistic” from even the whiff of libertarian influence in politics are indistinguishable from the hard-core libertarians that see national borders as illegitimate restraints, because those borders impinge upon the idea of unlimited personal autonomy and the term “undocumented immigrant” is borrowed from the libertarian lexicon.

Worse, if you talk to the young, they are so steeped in statist ideology-the only way they frame the concepts of “rights” is the pursuit of state sponsored (often theatrical) economic vendettas or sexual libertinism. To the extent they think of religious rights, it’s to dismiss religion as irrational, personal and destructive.
