Hallmarks of a Genocidal World

Where lies the most perilous domain on Earth in our time? Is it within radical Islamic states or amidst gang-ridden urban communities? No, the womb, intended as a sanctuary of life, has become the most treacherous place on earth. Consider Zambia, where numerous abortions are carried out under the guise of women’s rights and gender equality. Across the globe, millions of unborn lives are intentionally ended each year in the name of justice and freedom. Make no mistake, feminism has produced the greatest genocide in the history of the world. This phenomenon is globally promoted, funded, and celebrated as a perceived hallmark of societal development.

The chilling parallels between the rhetoric of abortion and historical genocides underscore the moral bankruptcy of a society that condones the wanton destruction of innocent life. Just as past atrocities, such as the holocaust, were justified through dehumanization, so too does the abortion industry seek to obfuscate the humanity of the unborn, thereby sanctioning their systematic annihilation.

Choosing Between an iPhone 15 and Your Family

In our world of ever-developing devices and novel announcements, this time of the year has come to be coined as ‘Tech-tember and Tech-tober.’ Annually in September the biggest and most successful company in the world, Apple Inc.–which has surpassed a market cap of $3 Trillion– attracts global attention with the fanfare that covers the release of their latest phone.

With the hype bubbling around the brand-new iPhone 15, MyBroadband, a top African blog, reported the cost in terms of the average worker’s salary. According to their research, a South African employee must save 27 days’ pay to afford the lowest-priced iPhone 15. With South Africa being the third-highest peak of the African economy in terms of GDP, one can only imagine comparative challenges in countries like Malawi, Zambia, and Senegal which are less than a tenth of the size of South Africa’s economy.

Sorry Benin, Legalizing Abortion Won’t Make Things Safer

A recent article in the Guardian tells of a gynaecologist in Benin and the journey that led her to push for abortion rights in her country. As the story goes, a young pregnant lady had come to her for the abortion of her unwanted baby. At the time, most abortions were illegal in the country of Benin, so the young gynaecologist urged the girl to keep the baby.

Some days later the doctor saw the young girl again and discovered that she had performed a secret abortion, most likely through pills or bleach or some other “unimaginable and inhumane method”. Not only was the baby dead. The mother was near death herself.
