The second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew tells us that ‘when Herod realised that the magi had deceived him, he was furious and ordered all the children under two years of age to be killed in Bethlehem and the surrounding area, according to the date the magi had told him’ (see Mt 2:13-18).
Herod, king of Judea, knowing the traditions and prophecies of the Old Testament, knew that the promised Messiah would be priest and King. Fearing for his reign and his privileges, he had all these children killed, although Christ was saved by his parents who protected him from the persecution of the ruling power.
In the 4th century, the feast in honour of the Holy Innocents, unwitting and unwitting martyrs, was instituted. The Eastern Catholic tradition commemorates them on 29 December, while the Latin tradition celebrates them on the 28th.
There are no consolidated data, or at least I have not found them, at the level of the European Union on the number of abortions performed in Europe today. These foetuses are also innocent saints, victims of the desperation of the mothers and of a political and legal system that in many countries has made abortion a right. The day abortion was institutionalised in Europe, it ceased to be the civilisation that has moved the world towards progress and culture.
In fact, on that day Europe ceased to be Europe. Aristotle would not understand – and with him millions of people who defend reality against ideology manufactured in think tanks – that if life is a right, death could also be a right. Things cannot be and not be at the same time. That is the basis of our civilisation, the principle of contradiction.
Everyone knows, even the staunch defenders of murder, that there is new life as soon as a sperm fertilises an egg. At that moment, a new being appears, different from its father and mother, full of the same dignity as any of those tycoons who create philanthropic foundations to finance the multi-million dollar abortion business in South America, Africa or Asia.
In Spain, 103,097 abortions were performed in 2023. If these human beings were to be born, the problems derived from the so-called demographic winter would not exist. There would be more than a hundred thousand more Spaniards. There would be one hundred thousand more illusions.
But abortion is not a coincidence or a circumstance of time. It is the result of horrendous globalist planning by universities, philanthropic foundations, NGOs and UN agencies.
In Spain, 18% of abortions are performed in public hospitals, and the rest, 82%, in private clinics that get rich from death and despair. This is a very relevant fact. Doctors, nurses, gynaecologists refuse directly or indirectly to perform abortions in public hospitals. Their Code of Ethics, which obliges them to save lives, prevents them from doing so. However, in private clinics, with less strict controls, and on payment of very large sums of money, many of which are opaque to the public treasury, other unscrupulous doctors perform abortions.
Collateral business is the sale of the remains of foetuses. Planned Parenthood is an NGO that operates worldwide, specifically aimed at promoting family planning and, in its case, abortion, which in 2016 was embroiled in a scandal – which was conveniently concealed by the mainstream media – for commercialising foetal remains from abortions.
Members of the Center for Medical Progress, posing as representatives of a company that buys tissue from aborted foetuses, produced a report showing Planned Parenthood executives promoting and encouraging commercial transactions with foetal organs obtained in their clinics.
That there is a plan to spread abortion globally is already undoubted. That its promoters are indebted to the outdated doctrine of Malthus who considered human beings a problem and spread the risk of overpopulation is not debatable.
The implementation of abortion on a planetary level has been developed through the so-called World Population Conferences. The first was held in 1954 in Rome, barely three years before the European Economic Community was established. This was followed in 1965 by the second conference in Belgrade, under the Soviet boot, where Malthusian and Marxist doctrines began to creep openly onto the UN agenda, and fertility began to be seen as an issue.
At the same time, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) began to fund vast population control programmes. It was the time of contraceptives. People could be convinced that having children was a problem and given the means to avoid it. Convinced that parenthood was a risk, it was not long before the theory of abortion as a right to get rid of a problem began to develop.
Again the UN went beyond the Iron Curtain. The Third Conference was held in 1974 in Bucharest. It consolidated as UN doctrine that economic, social and cultural development is linked to demography in the opposite direction to what history shows us. The UN promotes reducing population to benefit development. A lie. Just look at the numbers of the European Union and how the fall in demography has been accompanied by a fall in economies and massive and uncontrolled immigration processes.
Since Bucharest, the issue has accelerated. First in Mexico in 1984 and then in Cairo in 1994, a Programme of Action is adopted which declares the indissoluble link between population and development and focuses on the promotion of population control in all UN member states.
At that conference, 179 governments adopted the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, which states that ‘sustainable and inclusive development is not possible without prioritising human rights, including reproductive rights (reproductive rights refer to contraceptive use, abortion and the morning-after pill), without empowering women and girls, and without addressing the inequalities, needs, aspirations and rights of individual women and men’.
Two books have appeared this year that address this issue, with the same title. One in Argentina, by Agustín Laje. The other, in Spain, by Jorge Buxadé. The title: Globalismo.
Certainly, globalism as a political action programme of the ‘elites’, the bureaucracy of the United Nations or the European Union, intellectuals and university ‘experts’, mega-millionaires who spread their fear and rejection of humanity, is ultimately responsible for the brutal changes that have taken place in our laws. One day the Europeans will judge us.
The direct objective was the proclamation of abortion as a universal right. It was stopped by the influence of St. John Paul II, and pressure from Catholic and Muslim countries. From there to its inclusion as one of the Sustainable Development Goals in the so-called 2030 Agenda, adopted in 2015, it was a step.
A few weeks ago, the European Parliament again claimed abortion as a right and called for its inclusion in the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Conservatives, Patriots and Sovereigntists, with a few exceptions, remained mostly firm in their rejection. That is Europe. Anything else is barbarism.
Today, we must remember the millions of innocent saints who are capriciously deprived of their right to breathe, to see the sun, to swim in the sea, walk in the mountains, read a book, listen to an opera, get married, have children, write a book, discover a new star or invent the medicine to cure cancer.
We will never be able to appreciate the evil that the Development and Population Conferences have done to the world.
