If We Are Killing Babies, Why Not Eat Them Too? |
http://pblosser.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_pblosser_archive.html#114028285434851022
A modest proposal: it's legal to kill babies, so why not let people eat
them?
Gordon hidden Clark (1902-1985) was an American philosopher and
Calvinist theologian. He was a primary advocate for the idea of
presupposition apologetics and was chairman of the Philosophy
Department at Butler University in Indianapolis, IN, for 28 years. He
was a specialist in pre-Socratic and ancient philosophy and was noted
for his rigor in defending Platonic realism against all forms of
empiricism, in arguing that all truth is propositional and in applying
the laws of logic.
I remember first encountering the thought of Clark while at Westminster
Theological Seminary in Philadelphia back in the 1970s, where he was
renown for his debate with Cornelius Van Til over the question
"univocity" of human knowledge of God. While Catholics will not find
themselves in agreement with everything Clark has written --
particularly his criticisms of Catholicism, the doctrine of natural
law, or St. Thomas Aquinas' doctrine of the "analogical" knowledge of
God -- they will appreciate much of what he has written.
In the following article, Clark turns his sharp logic and acerbic wit
against the modern scandal of abortion. Although Clark died over twenty
years ago, there is little that is dated in the following article,
except perhaps the reference to Barry Goldwater. Clark presented an
earlier form of this piece, or at least parts of it, at a demonstration
before Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the early 1980s.
As you read it, imagine what thoughts must have passed through the
minds of his listeners as they hear him propose the things he did!
Enjoy!
The Ethics of Abortion
Gordon H. Clark
Parts of this paper were given in connection with a demonstration
before Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Today many hospitals, institutions which are supposed to save life,
permit and even encourage their doctors to kill innocent babies. They
tear the babies limb from limb or sometimes the nurses have thrown the
living babies into garbage cans. Abortion is legal because the Supreme
Court in Washington, D.C. said so. A majority of nine men, without any
amending of the Constitution or any referendum of the population, but
all by themselves, negated the legal right of innocent persons to live.
Having rejected God, they wish to assume His prerogatives.
One argument abortionists frequently use to defend themselves against
the charge of murder is the claim that the baby is not a human being.
But if the baby in the womb is not human, what is it? Is it canine? Is
it feline? I think that some babies born thirty or forty years ago have
turned out to be asinine.
Another argument which abortionists use to defend their murder of
innocent infants is that the government must not base its legislation
on religious principles. Legislation should always be based on
irreligious principles. No doubt you have all heard that the government
should never enforce morality. This may be one reason why many
abortionists oppose the death penalty for murder. This is consistent,
for if murder be a capital offense, the abortionists, both doctors and
mothers, are in great danger. But if a government cannot enforce
morality, rape would be as legal as murder. Nor could the government
prohibit theft. Note carefully that the same Ten Commandments which
condemn murder condemn theft also. When irreligious bureaucrats and
secular judges prohibit the display of the Ten Commandments on the
walls of a public school, they erase theft as well as murder from the
list of crimes. Opposition to theft is just as religious as opposition
to murder. Christianity condemns both murder and theft because both are
condemned by God.
If atheism is to be the law of the land, there can be no laws at all to
support morality, for there is no morality apart from the laws of God.
I would like to make it clear that sociology, statistics, psychology,
or any empirical science can never determine moral norms. Secular
science at best can discover what people do; but it cannot discover
what people ought to do. From observational premises no normative
conclusions follow. Any attempt to define morality by observational
science is a logical fallacy. Science can invent new ways of killing
people, but science can never determine who should be killed. It can
only invent more effective ways of doing what somebody for some other
reason wants to do.
The controversy between those who consider life sacred and those who
kill babies is not a controversy between two systems of ethics, as if
we had one system and the abortionists, secularists, and atheists had a
different system. The point is that they cannot have any system of
ethics at all. Scientific observation -- what they sometimes call
reason as opposed to what they misunderstand by faith -- cannot
establish any values whatever. Science often produces wonders but one
thing it cannot do: It cannot establish the value of anything, even the
value of itself.
Repudiation of divine laws is destructive of all morality. Abortion is
immoral. Rejecting God, the abortionists try to justify their cruelty
to babies, while at the same time condemning burglary, by an appeal to
a social consensus. To this attempt to condemn theft while justifying
murder, there is a single answer with two parts.
First, no social consensus has been established. The Supreme Court
alone, nine men out of two hundred million, legalized the killing of
babies on its own arbitrary authority. This is the autocracy of evil
dictators.
Then, second, social consensus cannot determine what is right or wrong.
The social consensus of the Spartans in antiquity and of at least some
Indian tribes in North America condoned theft and even praised it.
Before the Belgians took over the Congo a century or so ago, social
consensus approved of cannibalism. The fact that various societies have
considered theft and cannibalism to be right, does not prove that theft
and cannibalism are right -- nor the murder of babies, either. One can
perhaps with relative ease discover what groups of people thing is
right; but social consensus does not make anything right or wrong.
So far as I can see, the only pertinent difference between the
abortionists here and the cannibals in the Congo is that the
abortinists do not eat the babies. They throw them in the garbage can.
What a waste of good meat in these times of famine. Of course the meat
would have to be inspected by the USDA, but I can see no reason why, on
abortionist principles -- or lack of principles -- I see no reason for
prohibiting the eating of human flesh. A nice tender baby might taste
better than a Cornish hen. Or if the mothers, for no good reason, do
not want to eat their babies, they could at least send them to
alleviate starvation in the Third World [emphasis added]. Of course
babies are a little small, like Cornish hens. But if the Supreme Court
can legalize the murder of infants, it can as easily legalize the
murder of adults. Indeed some groups already propose the murder of the
elderly. Abortion logically justifies the murder of anyone. Hence the
Supreme Court could legalize the murder of all who support the right of
life and so produce a unanimous social consensus.
If anyone thinks that this proposal is extreme, be it noted that
Hitler's National Socialism and Stalin's International Socialism
attempted just that. Hitler massacred the Jews and Stalin massacred the
Ukrainians and hordes of others. And aside from historical examples,
rampant murder is well within the logical range of atheistic
abortionism. There is a determined effort in this nation to reduce
orthodox Christians to the status of second class citizens. Their
recent interest in politics and law has been severely condemned. Even
Barry Goldwater, supposedly a conservative of the conservatives, showed
his anti-religious bigotry in denouncing the pro-life movement. In many
public schools the secularist view is sustained by government
imposition and the pro-life view is denied a hearing. Smut is legal,
and even required reading, but the Ten Commandments are prohibited. The
end of this, unless stopped, is the same persecution now practiced
under Communism.
We must try to stop this atheistic program. And one place, a good place
to start, is abortions.

Nice. But how do you make yours? If I'm lazy I use peanut butter on a

Oh goodness, I haven't actually made it in ages. There's a fantastic Asian
market a couple of towns away from me and I usually buy it there. Sorry!
I was there the other day to pick up a couple of things for my daughter's
class's contribution to a "Tricky Tray" event. Boy, but I could have gotten
some strange stuff (i.e., dried cuttlefish, boneless duck feet in a can,
etc.), but I stuck to spring roll sauce, a package of cute chopsticks and a
box of some kind of rice noodles.
Oh and they sell "pork uterus" in their meat department. Ack!

Nope you're right. They are pork ribs from the small rib cage end of
the pig. Appearently the closer to head the tougher the meat. Or so
says google.
Either way (pork or beef ribs) they are delicious. Anyhoo for any type
of rib to get it to fall off the bone BBQ them until they are cooked
and then throw them in the slow cooker on hi for six hours. MMmmmmm,
pulled pork (beef) sandwiches.

You can also put them along with a load of BBS sauce in tinfoil and close
securely. Set oven to 300 - 320F and slow cook for a few hours. YUM! :-)

Poor little baar-lamb.... Shari Lewis will have her revenge, you know
and every time you look at a sock, tremble. Anyway, lamb chops are too
small and you need too many of them to make a decent meal.
Never tried suckling pig though, they say it is a real delicasy.
So they say, but would you have an oven big enough to cook one? Quite
apart from the fact my wife's a Muslim[1], I don't think my oven would
handle it.
Mind you, that does remind me of the parrot joke, but I shall restrain
myself. For now.
[1]. Actually, this is quite interesting. Well, for a given value of
"interesting...". I know a rabbi or two, largely because of my
grandfather, but I was chatting to one at a do that was remarkably
dull, and oddly enough the subject got onto religion and so forth. One
of the observations he made was that in his experience when a Jew
violates Jewish dietary laws it's mostly a case of a hamburger or a
bacon sandwich rather than the finest whatever is prohibited.
Similarly because of my wife I have a nodding acquaintance with an
Imam or two, they say the same kind of thing (and yes, I made a point
of asking, albeit delicately).
Dunno if it means anything, but I thought it was quite interesting.

A modest proposal: it's legal to kill babies, so why not let people eat
them?
We do, why we had a delicious lamb chop ragout for lunch only
yesterday
Poor little baar-lamb.... Shari Lewis will have her revenge, you know
and every time you look at a sock, tremble. Anyway, lamb chops are too
small and you need too many of them to make a decent meal.
Never tried suckling pig though, they say it is a real delicasy.
So they say, but would you have an oven big enough to cook one? Quite
apart from the fact my wife's a Muslim[1], I don't think my oven would
handle it.
Mind you, that does remind me of the parrot joke, but I shall restrain
myself. For now.
[1]. Actually, this is quite interesting. Well, for a given value of
"interesting...". I know a rabbi or two, largely because of my
grandfather, but I was chatting to one at a do that was remarkably
dull, and oddly enough the subject got onto religion and so forth. One
of the observations he made was that in his experience when a Jew
violates Jewish dietary laws it's mostly a case of a hamburger or a
bacon sandwich rather than the finest whatever is prohibited.
Similarly because of my wife I have a nodding acquaintance with an
Imam or two, they say the same kind of thing (and yes, I made a point
of asking, albeit delicately).
Dunno if it means anything, but I thought it was quite interesting.
The "delicacy", I suspect, is doing what other people do.

Curry.
Jalfrezi.
It's the only way to be sure.
Mind you, bear in mind that my advice as regards 'flu is to drink a
bottle of rum. This won't cure you, but you will feel so awful by the
time you finish, the 'flu symptoms will be the last thing on your
mind...
