    About this ebook

    How did America become a place where those with Down syndrome and spina bifida are aborted in huge numbers? How can it tolerate aborting a child just because it is a girl or killing a twin in the womb so that only one child is born alive? Why are Americans being reduced to numbers and Quality Adjusted Life Years, poised to ration care if you are too old or infirm? How did death become an acceptable solution to our problems?

    [NOTE: This ebook is adapted from a document originally laid out in magazine format. While still highly informative, the graphic cues that helped make or emphasize points were necessarily omitted in order to release it digitally.]

    America has embraced the culture of death, but it didn't happen overnight and it wasn't by accident. Though often framed as matters of 'choice,' the truth is that people like John Holdren, Paul Ehrlich, Margaret Sanger, and Frederick Osborn (to name a few) cared, or care, little about civil liberties and freedoms. Coming off the heels of the atrocities of the Nazis, they saw that they could not openly pursue the same methods, so instead they sought to convince people to unconsciously do to themselves what these social engineers wanted them to do. This, they call 'voluntary.' But each was prepared, in a pinch, to dismiss with 'choice' and 'voluntary,' proving that they did not, and do not, actually believe in those things. That's just how they sell it to the masses--with effect.

    Anthony Horvath and his wife were given the 'choice' to abort their child, diagnosed with spina bifida. He later learned that as much as 90% of all people offered this 'choice' do in fact terminate their child. Disturbed by this, he set out to find out why this was the case. Through his research, he has learned that this trend originated many years ago, long before any of us were born. It stretches back to Malthus, and includes Darwin, and was pursued with vigor by American progressives and liberals all the way up until the Nazis made it unfashionable. But they did not give up their principles: they only re-formulated them to be more palatable.

    The field of genetic counseling in particular is an area where the eugenicists of old have continued to try to weed out the inferior among us, but this is not by any means the only place they are at work--financed by you, the American taxpayer.

    In this volume, Horvath has documented the history of this effort and demonstrated how the ideologies of the 1800s were intentionally expressed in various population control measures throughout the 1900s. These include commonly known examples such as the eugenics policies of the Nazis but also less known ones such as the fact that taxpayer dollars continue to fund efforts to eliminate the 'unfit' from society.

    Designed to be concise, this book is really meant to be a wake-up call. Further readings are provided for those who decide that their days of being duped by fine sounding platitudes about 'choice' and 'family planning' are over.

    RECOMMENDATION:

    “Mr. Horvath has connected the dots to reveal the dangerous trajectory that our recent history has thrust upon the rising generation of Americans. A culture of death looms over us, sponsored by leaders in science, academia, and government who devalue human life to the point of treating some people as instruments for the advancement of other people’s vision of progress. Human rights, national prosperity, and constitutional liberties all hang in the balance. This study is a must-read for any policymaker who still has the Jeffersonian courage to defend the inalienable right to life.”

      Life Cycle of an Ideology

      A man reaps what he sows.

      From the Christian Scriptures, Galatians 6:7

      Have you ever wondered how it was possible that a large number of people could have ever come to accept the idea that it was all right for one set of men to enslave another set of men? Have you ever wondered how a society came to accept the mass extermination of the Jews? Fewer than a hundred years ago, doctors were doing experiments on people while they were still alive. Compulsory sterilization laws were on the books—in the United States—into the early 1980s. These are not events of the distant past. They occurred in our lifetimes, or the lifetimes of our parents, or grandparents. How did people come to not merely tolerate such things, but openly promote them, and even carry them out?

      One thing is for sure: it didn’t happen over night. It happened slowly, over time, as particular societies adopted certain assumptions and then contemplated the implications of those assumptions, until such time that someone—or someones—decided there was no point in thinking certain things were true if you weren’t going to act on them.

      Death has always been with us. So, too, has human cruelty. Still, recent history suggests something unique. This, we will call, the ‘culture of death.’ A culture that sees death as a positive good will inevitably act on that principle. This document will show how, beginning in the early 1800s, death began being seen as not merely a positive ‘good’, but a creative mechanism. Much as a sculptor starts with a block of marble, eliminating material until the beautiful form has been revealed, social-sculptors saw that the elimination of certain members of our society would result in a Beautiful Society.

      Why did they think that? How did they come by this philosophy?

      What this document will show is that beliefs have consequences: always... eventually. A belief that is not acted on is no belief at all.

      But that doesn’t mean that it is acted on right away. Sometimes it is not immediately clear what actions the beliefs call for. Sometimes it takes several generations for the implications of an ideology to sink in... or, it takes several generations for people to have the audacity to act on that ideology.

      There isn’t much difference between the ideology of the Nazis and the early eugenicists of the mid-1800s. The main difference is that the Nazis had the audacity to act, and the
