Poland Bans Abortion

This is also a mark of approaching K-selection:

Polish legislators debated a citizen-led bill this week that would ban almost all abortions and protect unborn babies’ right to life. And in an initial vote on the measure has been approved.

The strong Catholic country already prohibits most abortions. Unlike most of Europe, abortions are legal in Poland in only cases of rape and incest, the life or health of the mother or severe fetal deformities – though “severe” is widely defined and unborn babies with Down syndrome and other disabilities have been legally aborted.

The new citizen-led bill, which has wide support from the public, top government officials and the Catholic Church, would prohibit abortions except when the mother’s life is in jeopardy. It would criminalize abortion for causing the “death of a conceived child.” Doctors who do abortions could face jail time of up to five years.

Set aside the actual debate over pros and cons regarding the issue of abortion for a moment, and merely look at the decisions the populace makes. As things head r, babies are viewed as disposable – to the point some of Obama’s compatriots have even postulated that you should be legally allowed to abort babies up to two years old, post-birth, since until that time they are not really conscious in the sense that we, as adults, are. Imagine taking a toddler in to a doctor, and telling the doctor that you had decided to abort it after all. Then you have the doctor give it a shot to put it to sleep, right there in his office. They actually have argued for that.

As K takes ever stronger hold, it produces people who are programmed to view babies as supremely important, to the point they cannot be harmed at all, even in their earliest developmental stages, when they may not even have any real characteristics of a human being.

One is programmed to eject offspring from the nest. In their most extreme form they will, if allowed, eject them from the womb, even if they have to kill them to do so. And they will assert that such is their right. The other side is so programmed to protect offspring that they will even protect the offspring of others, and they will do it before the offspring are even born, and even before they look like offspring.

This demarcation will also separate those who are aggressive and competitive and carry a view that not everyone will have enough to be happy, from those who are averse to all competition and assert that there are plenty of resources for everyone to be as happy as they want. Promiscuity, marriage, protectiveness of children, in-group loyalty, patriotism, fitness in competition, and rearing urges will all also split along r/K lines, right alongside abortion. You can even separate them based on whether they prefer the smell of babies or coffee. It is that hard wired in the brain.

Where the debate over this issue occurs, notice how in the end, what controls the outcome is not logic, reason, or argument. Limit resources and develop amygdalae, and you get one result. Flood a nation with resources, hedonism, and ease, and you will get the other.

The funny thing is if the left had called attention to r/K early on and tried to socially out-group it, they might have been able to pull it off, and then claim it debunked. But by waiting until now, they have almost guaranteed it’s ultimate acceptance because everywhere you look, you see every facet of r/K unfolding around us as the collapse approaches.

This is the new political science.
