		<description>Thanks for you comment! 

I would agree that there are some organizations with vested interests; they now have financial/self preservation incentives to promote abortion. There are companies who would loose profits if they couldn&#039;t sell as much equipment related to abortion, and many doctors, nurses, hospitals, and insurance companies would have less work if they performed fewer abortions. Some large organizations would collapse if they reconsidered or moderated their stances on abortion, so they must promote abortion to survive. I would not call them Eugenics organizations, but perhaps you could call it an abortion industrial complex (akin to the military industrial complex that has aligned itself with big wars=selling more weapons=good business).

I also think you are right about the term alien to describe foreigners; it doesn’t necessarily mean inhuman. My point was that I think sometimes we fail to treat foreign people with the full dignity and respect that every human soul deserves.

I happen to be Christian, and when I look to the Bible for direction it is clear that this ancient text doesn’t give direct advice for every modern situation. So, when I think about how I should apply the great lessons I find in this text, I try to focus on the areas where I feel very certain. Personally, I’m a lot less certain about the importance of a first trimester fetus than I am about a child or adult, one who can love and is loved, and who might be dying because they are hungry and can’t find work.</description>

		<description>The unfortunate thing about sex-education and &quot;reproductive health&quot; education is that it&#039;s been thoroughly co-opted by Eugenics organizations, entities that have a vested interest in abortion, and pharmacological outfits who are more interested in business than the safety of their products/procedures.

I&#039;d also like to point out that the word &quot;alien&quot; does not connote &quot;non-human&quot;.  If it did, then the phrase &quot;aliens from outer-space&quot; or &quot;space-aliens&quot; would be redundant.
Thus, the term &quot;illegal alien&quot; does not mean &quot;criminal space-creature&quot;.  It means &quot;foreigner who is not legally accounted for&quot;.</description>
