The Motivation for Anti-Abortionism

Achieving any kind of sustainable society will ultimately require dealing with the selfish genes who want to squeeze everybody else out.

The current approach is to not cap child bearing.  So, fine, knock yourself out, have as many kids as possible, which is what some highly religious people do.  In the long run, the humanity will become all " max birthers."  In the past, before "civilization" and Empire, there might have been other naturally selective factors, and reproduction limited as much by tribe as by pair or pair+self-interested-nation, the deadly growth trap we are in today, with each "nation" trying to outbirth all others, in some cases some trying to restore their nation or become a nation by birthing.

Also, banning abortion has the effect that less-than-fully-intended pregnancies become children.  A friend of mine had a very blunt, and I think somewhat overgeneralized, not racist but somewhat over-elevating the importance of genetic factors, but not without merit explanation for anti-abortionism:

"Every establishment wants it's share of aggressive hot heads, to fight official enemies.  The prevailing selective tendency in civilization is in the opposite direction--favoring those who submit.  So, some religions block abortion as a way of re-injecting hot-headedness back into the their genomes, as it forces the birthing of the children of rapists."
Religions promote birtherism generally through various means, and it is easy to see that fostering their own growth and domination is a natural factor in this.  But it may well be there is an additional "benefit" in organizational dominance achieved from blocking abortion specifically.

There is no common benefit from birtherism (or agressiveness) in a fully developed sustainable society, in fact it is destructive as it leads to unstoppable growth (or violence), and it must be blocked and weeded out, if humanity is to have any hope of long term survival.

In my opinion, the fetuses of rapists ought to be aborted by law.  If any woman not desire this, she can call the pregnancy consensual, and there may be other requirements.

I am opposed to Eugenic Selection based on racial or assayed genetic factors.  Other than the relatively clear case of rape, we can't really know the future advantages and disadvantages of human genes.  Rape is the ultimate behavioral test of the combination of all genes, and clearly undesireable for civilization.  We don't want more rapists.  We got plenty of other possibilities, for the time being anyway.

I would require the consent of 4 otherwise childless adults to authorize one birth, achiving a reproduction rate of 0.5 per couple to achieve fast population reduction needed to get the human population down to a sustainable level in a few hundred years when the human caused great extinction ends.  Later, when a sustainable society is built, whatever number works to recreate the sustainable level.

Gods seeing less than the total greater good will see otherwise, and for sure, many will keep on calling for more rapists.

The correct way to prevent one's society from becoming all sheeple, is to root out the inequality and fascism which causes that.  It's no surprise therefore that the most unequal and fascist-promoting religions are precisely the ones that go all out requiring birthing children of rapists.
