Personhood, Bodyhood and the Right to Not Be Aborted
Part Seven
The Axeman Cometh (For Our Children) (1)
Yes. There was an axeman. This anonymous serial killer terrorized New Orleans for more than a year from May, 1918 to October, 1919, targeting Italians, and striking in the dead of night. His reign of terror ended as suddenly as it had begun, but the killer was never apprehended. Six died and six survived his brutal assault.
Perhaps, it is true: Evil never dies. It only sleeps, for 1973 saw the apparent reincarnation of the New Orleans Axeman. This time, however, his infamous axe looks more like the Sopher clamp, and the mastectomizing, hysterectomizing, penectomizing and emasculating scalpel. His targets are no longer, exclusively, Italian immigrants, but the very young, especially the unborn, 62 million of whom have succumbed to his aborting “axemanship” since the Roe decision. He no longer has to operate in the dark, but can openly ply his trade in comfortable State- and Corporate-funded offices and “clinics”. He openly stalks our cities, wearing the legal fig leaf Justice Blackmun hung around his naked crimes—a future pardon for all his wickedness, as parents willingly offer their sons and daughters to be axed by him.
How long must the unborn continue to suffer the terror of this State-sponsored axeman? How long will mothers continue to participate in this hideous crime against their own children?
There are those who would like to convince us that the fetus is only a meaningless, useless “clump of cells”. Thinking in this way might make it easier to commit feticide, but to this argument, I would ask, at what stage of our physical development, are we not a clump of cells?
At conception, the cells are few and, to our limited vision, seemingly un-organized but, does its small size give anyone license to destroy the developing life-form in the womb? The zygote, “clump-of-cells” stage of development, is very brief, a few days, but it contains all it needs to develop into a fully functional embryo, and beyond.
Recently, Stacey Abrams, twice-failed Georgia Gubernatorial candidate, and pro-abortion champion, advertised her utter ignorance, and disdain for scientific fact. She declared there is no such thing as a 6-week fetal heartbeat, and that it is only a manufactured sound when detected via ultrasound.
Of course, she could not describe how the sound of an infant’s heartbeat had been “manufactured”, but that didn’t stop Planned Parenthood from rushing in to prop up Abrams’ nonsensical claims, changing its description of the developing fetus, on its website. Previously, it stated that, during week 5-6:
A very basic beating heart and circulatory system develop.
…it now casually informs us that,
A part of the embryo starts to show cardiac activity. It sounds like a heartbeat on an ultrasound, but it’s not a fully-formed heart—it’s the earliest stage of the heart developing.
This would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. PP was trying to justify abortion by denying the fetus has a detectable heartbeat at some point during its first 6 weeks. It was a major failure. They simply managed to tangle themselves up in a knot, proving just the opposite:
“A part of the embryo begins to show cardiac activity”? Would that “part” be a few of those cells from that legendary “clump”? And what might “cardiac activity” be? A heartbeat? Circulating blood? Can there be cardiac activity without a cardio, a heart? Oh, and that beat you hear, well…only on that ole ultrasound machine does it “sound” like a heartbeat. It’s not a real heartbeat at all, since, according to PP, the heart is not “fully-formed”, and it’s only in the “earliest stage of…developing”.
Got that? The all-knowing PP scientists only succeeded in confirming what has already been long-known, that at 5-6 weeks, there’s a fetal heart in its earliest stage of development. Although not yet fully-formed, that heart is still capable of cardiac activity, and can produce a heartbeat detectable by ultrasound. Sorry, Stacey. There is a fetal heartbeat. It is not a “manufactured sound”.
Modern technology has shown that several days after conception, some of those few, initial cells will organize themselves, and “clump” into a beating heart, and our incredible, mystical journey to birth will pick up steam.
The human heart is one of the first organs to form and function during embryogenesis [1, 2]. By the end of gestational week 3, passive oxygen diffusion becomes insufficient to support metabolism of the developing embryo [3-5], and thus the fetal heart becomes vital for oxygen and nutrient distribution [2]. The initiation of the first heart beat via the primitive heart tube begins at gestational day 22, followed by active fetal blood circulation by the end of week 4 [1, 3-5].
This beautifully animated video, Window to the Womb, shows the fetus’ development, from conception to her final moments in the womb.
Unfortunately, the highest US court has refused to declare the fetus, a person worthy of protection. (See Part Six) That refusal has fueled the horrors of abortion, furthering the eugenics agenda.
For a brief moment in its history, the US seemed poised to lead the world into a new era of human development, and international relations. The founding of the United States inspired men and women of integrity, to dream of such a time. One notable dreamer was President Ronald Reagan. In his 1989 Farewell Address to the Nation, he said:
The past few days when I've been at that window upstairs, I've thought a bit of the “shining city upon a hill.” The phrase comes from John Winthrop, who wrote it to describe the America he imagined. What he imagined was important because he was an early Pilgrim, an early freedom man. He journeyed here on what today we'd call a little wooden boat; and like the other Pilgrims, he was looking for a home that would be free.
I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.
Despite the best hopes of our Founding Fathers, the nation is now filled, not with Winthropian and Reaganesque dreamers and leaders, but with heartless axemen, poised with their Sopher clamps, to snuff out the life of those hapless, “embryonic pilgrims” who have journeyed here, “looking for a home that would be free”. All the “early freedom men” have disappeared, replaced by a collection of soul-less, pretend do-gooders. They’ve turned the nation, the “shining city upon a hill”, into a towering, materially-focused troll, brandishing his gleaming axe, his military toys, adept at starting wars, and subverting the world with his dollars and debt.
Who else but a person possessed of the axeman’s spirit, would so strenuously object to the reality of fetal heartbeat, and be so strident in his demands to kill the child, the extra-terrestrial cosmic citizen, in the womb?
Another eugenics milestone is the seeming inability of some in our society, including a Supreme Court Justice, to define the term, “woman". The pressure to change the understanding of what a woman is, will have the deleterious effect of altering society’s perception of womanhood. Combine that with the current, specious propaganda that “men” can give birth, and if this trend should continue, what will prevent motherhood from becoming an anachronism? In that scenario, what will be the fate of the mother-dependent unborn?
Planned Parenthood doctor tells committee that ‘men can have pregnancies, especially trans men’
Authentic, biological womanhood has everything to do with authentic motherhood. Motherhood has everything to do with bringing every new “clump of cells” to birth and beyond, nurturing the child to personal independence. This pernicious attack on motherhood is a direct threat to the unborn. Sadly, it seems that the move to phase out natural motherhood is already picking up steam. In the not-too-distant future, conception, pregnancy, and birth will be controlled by a few powerful corporations, and if Maggie Sanger gets her way, we will need a license, and State approval, to have a baby.
30,000 children will be born every year from 'artificial womb facility'
Those who have difficulty defining, “woman”, are encouraged to consult Merriam-Webster online, where there’s still a definition of the term listed. A biologist I am not, but let me put on my common sense hat, and take a stab at defining the term. Here are three, Cosmic Citizen definitions to start:
1 wom·an | \ ˈwu̇-mən: The natural-born, biological, adult female member of the human species.
2 wom·an | \ ˈwu̇-mən: A member of the homogametic sex, possessing 2 “X” chromosomes, and whose primary sex hormone is estrogen.
3 wom·an | \ ˈwu̇-mən: The natural-born, biological, adult female member of the human species, who possesses specialized, built-in, congenital baby-conceiving, baby-carrying, baby-birthing, and baby-feeding organs.
So, how did I do? Can I be called a womanologist now, or maybe a commonsenseologist? That might compensate for my not being a biologist. I’m even willing to testify before Congress…under oath.
In human society, the term, “woman”, is exclusively reserved for identifying the adult, biological, female member of the species, and, until recently, all languages and dialects had a particular linguistic designation for her. A massive assault on this traditional value is underway, but, thankfully, there are some who still value the exalted position of women in our society.
Is there another earth species where, suddenly, some of its members have begun displaying so much ignorance and confusion over the issues of sex and gender, where men can become women, and women can become men? Most mammals, for example, know precisely what to do, when, and how in the matter of mating. Given the now-public agenda of the eugenicists and de-populationists, it is becoming apparent that many are being prodded to embrace a long-term, self-annihilating lifestyle. How cleverly does this serves their agenda!
Beware those who think that by redefining words, they can rejigger and reset the laws of nature, and drive us, in a tempest of emotion, to accept their redefinitions. A Supreme Court Justice may play dumb, but we do not have to accept such obvious stupidity. What these people are peddling, with the willing, albeit ignorant participation of some, is not only insulting, but detrimental to the perpetuation of the human species.
In the eugenics war on the unborn, motherhood, and the population at large, a new front has opened. It is a devilish plot aimed specifically at children. Those who survive the threat of abortion are being targeted. As was noted in Part One, Malthus envisioned homosexuality as a method of population reduction and control, along with infanticide, contraception, and deliberately limiting access to resources. At that time, he did not consider homosexuality to be the most effective means for population reduction, but it seems that his modern, ideological descendants have found a way to improve its effectiveness.
[When lack of outrage can be a real drag]

What does promoting “drag queen shows”, “drag queen story hour” to kindergarteners and grade-schoolers, or a Church-sponsored “drag bingo”, accomplish? Why do some parents support this? Who benefits from brainwashing, confusing, conditioning, and sexualizing little children?
Lately, Disney has come under heavy fire for its blatant sexualizing of children, and for inserting erotic, subliminal messages in its children’s cartoons and movies.

A tradition of sexualizing kids and other commentary
Clearly, someone has an agenda, not to encourage, in naturally-inquisitive, little children, the desire to learn and achieve, but to stimulate and preoccupy them with perverse sensuality. And, as if that wasn’t enough, a heavy push is now underway to encourage them to repudiate their biological sex. Many children who are taken down this path, with the help of gullible parents, teachers, and so-called “health” professionals, get put on cross-sex hormones, and puberty-blockers—including the drug Lupron. Lupron is used in the chemical castration of sex-offenders, and is known to cause lasting health problems. Have innocent children now become sex-offenders simply for the crime of being boys and girls, requiring them to be chemically and surgically spayed and neutered?
It should be blatantly obvious that castrating children, and saddling them with long-term health problems, will be a huge victory for the eugenicists and the Medico-Pharma Complex.
Leading the charge to push children into so-called “gender-affirming care”, is a claque of celebs, showcasing their own “transitioned” children. Their patron saint is the trans person acting as Secretary for Health at the Department of Health and Human Services. Curiously, it appears that health, mental health, in particular, is absent from the DHHS’ leadership. Regardless, this is what a child who successfully makes it to birth, must now confront.
So-called gender dysphoria has now suddenly burst upon the public consciousness, and is being relentlessly promoted. Many of us had never even heard the term, before the last few years. It was first coined, in 1973, by a German endocrinologist, Harry Benjamin, who, at the request of Alfred Kinsey (Yes. That Kinsey), had begun treating the rare patient experiencing discomfort with their biological gender. The American Psychiatric Association called it gender identity disorder (GID), but began using the term, gender dysphoria, in 2013. It was a condition requiring psychiatric care. In other words, psychiatrists saw it as a mental disorder.
Gender dysphoria:
a distressed state arising from conflict between a person's gender identity and the sex the person has or was identified as having at birth. (Merriam-Webster)
Under Dr. Benjamin’s treatment protocol, his Sex Orientation Scale, a patient had to receive deep consultation, and exhibit extreme distress before surgery would be recommended, or for that matter, any kind of treatment program would be started. It was, after all, a mental illness. In contrast, today’s school administrators and medical practitioners are in hurry-up mode, for some reason, to provide expensive treatment, at the first hint that a little child may have some discomfort in their body. Never mind the fact that the child might have been heavily indoctrinated, or subjected to unrelenting peer pressure, especially social media pressure, to the point of dissatisfaction with their birth sex. Children are impressionable, vulnerable, suggestible, and never to be exploited. In fact, it has been shown that a child displaying signs of gender discomfort (without prodding and conditioning by school and “health” officials), will eventually outgrow it.
Where are the in-depth studies clearly explaining the long-term effects of the Lupron experiment on children’s mental and physical health? They are not old enough to buy beer, or a pack of cigarettes, but can be trusted to make, what is perhaps, the ultimate life-changing decision? Are they and their parents provided with the proper information, so they can give informed consent? If not, it is likely that this experiment violates the Codes promulgated at Nuremberg in 1945, and that crimes against humanity are being committed in plain sight. Why is something that was considered a mental disorder, not too long ago, being pushed on our children?
Those promoting this cultural shift, call the mutilation of children, which subjects them to the ”axeman’s” bloody violence, “gender-affirming care”. Their slogans always have the ring of benevolence and love. They really care about our children, while hacking off their testicles and breasts, and tearing out their ovaries and wombs. However, as the recent Vanderbilt University Medical Center scandal revealed, this term, “gender-affirming care”, is simply a euphemism for “big money makers”. It is neither “gender-affirming”, nor “care”. Tomorrow’s adult leaders are simply being sacrificed on the obscenely profitable altar of gender-affirmation destruction.
Note: As a result of Matt Walsh’s exposé on Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the Center has decided to “pause” its spaying & neutering program for children.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center Announces Pause In Gender-Affirming Surgeries For Minors
California’s Governor recently signed a bill, SB 107, making California a sanctuary for children seeking “gender-affirming” surgery, without parental approval. If they really cared about the children’s mental and physical health, why would they encourage them to go “behind the backs” of their parental guardians and providers who bear the ultimate responsibility? Castrating children on the plea of gender-affirming care, is nothing more than legally-sanctioned, ritual child abuse.
