The Duplicity of the "Personal Belief"

Recently I was listening to a podcast- abortion came up. This guy usually doesn't talk about it, but I guess he felt he had to since he was asked. And it was the person who wrote in who cast his own opinion as personal. But since it's a straight up propaganda meme paid for by the globalist bureaucrats, this is how it went down. The podcaster talked about, if, hypothetically, he was the ruler, he'd get a bunch of experts together to come up with a cut off point for abortion. Somebody kind of did this already.

Steve Jacobs writes a Quillette about what thousands of biologists answered.

The answer, of course, is exactly what this 'personal belief' was. Life begins at conception. They want us to pretend this is just something Christians dreamed up- we were always against abortion, but we didn't know when life began until we had biology. Now that we have biology, gee, it turns out our ancestors were right.

There are a few allusions in the bible, but I don't think that's necessarily where the dislike of abortion came from. We seem to forget that Christians actually governed, and would have come across women who tried to have abortions. They would find some girl who had taken a poison, suffering from liver failure. Or maybe a woman bleeding to death from some botched attempt at surgery. How often was there even evidence of a child?

So, a sensible leader says, hey don't do this. I haven't bothered to check into what the punishment was, but since the consequences were so dire in the first place- well, you try to do what keeps the maximum number of people from trying it.

The bureaucracy doesn't want anyone realizing that you, personally, might actually know the truth. That what you believe could actually be based on evidence, research, and even the religion of you ancestors- which demonstrably isn't founded on air, but on a lot of history, in which people governed and learned. This is what they apply this term 'personal belief' to, not the latest ravings of whatever is cool in the cult of SJW. Tradition is not something to be laughed at. Nor is science, literally an outgrowth of Christianity- that began to be practiced in the monasteries and later universities founded first for theology- something contrary to the civilization that birthed her.

A committee holds its meetings and makes its decisions, but even should each individual see the poor outcomes of the collective decision, they do not feel personally responsible. Have we seen any company, once going SJW and losing money because of some stupid campaign, repent?

I suppose we are lucky that Jacobs asked all these biologists individually, because they could say what they knew individually, rather than be tempted by the god of bureaucracy.
