       Abortion = Kindness?
       By: Aucontraire Date: January 10, 2026, 1:52 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       You don't want to be killed because you've grown attached to
       life and afraid of death. Innocence means babies have not. They
       don't consent to life or death. They have no discernable
       preference. They grow and survive because they are programmed
       to. Not because they will it — because nature wills it.
       Aryanists understand life means they will have a body. That they
       will suffer and decay. They believe this outweighs any supposed
       "advantages". That life isn't a gift but a curse. Yet Aryanists
       advocate letting nature impose this curse on unborn babies, on
       top of having state authorities coerce people to carry through
       unwanted pregnancies. They also advocate exploiting children by
       selectively conceiving them to further their political aims.
       What say you in your defense?

       "They don't consent to life or death."
       I agree. This is why we eventually want an end to conceptions:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/re-childcare-issues/
       "Aryanists advocate letting nature impose this curse on unborn
       babies"
       We do not. We are looking for the path that will lead to the end
       of this.
       "on top of having state authorities coerce people to carry
       through unwanted pregnancies"
       If you are referring to our advocacy for state control over
       reproduction, I have stated previously that no one will be
       coerced to conceive. Instead, we will incentivize the racially
       superior to conceive by offering the prevention of a larger
       number of conceptions by the racially inferior in exchange.
       Recall from the main site:
       [quote]The one and only ethical way to motivate Aryans to
       reproduce is to set up a system such that the more they
       reproduce, the fewer the total number of children being born.
       For example, the state could set an initial maximum limit of
       total births for each year. But then the state could add a rule
       that, for each one birth by the pre-designated Aryan subset
       within the population, it will lower the limit for the following
       year by two births. This would mean that each Aryan birth
       produces a net effect of preventing one child from being born.
       Hence the more enthusiastic we are about depopulation, the more
       we would reproduce. (The incentive can be amplified by
       increasing the arithmetic gradient as required e.g. each Aryan
       birth could prevent 10, 100, 1000, etc. children from being
       born.)[/quote]
       "They also advocate exploiting children by selectively
       conceiving them to further their political aims."
       If you are advocating instead that the state should directly
       prevent all conceptions simultaneously, I agree that this would
       be more ideal, but fear that it would be impractical and lead to
       the state running out of staffers (and hence losing control over
       the population) before mission completion, following which the
       remainder who outlasted us will just go back to their old
       habits.
       If you wish to propose an alternative antinatalist plan, I would
       be happy to read it.

       The topic was abortion. I'm going to give you the benefit of the
       doubt that you accidentally glanced over that.

       "The topic was abortion."
       So you want me to answer:
       [quote]Abortion = Kindness?[/quote]
       Kindness is about actively helping others in achieving their
       aims. I would agree that abortion is kindness towards those who
       regret conceiving. (Whether they deserve it is another matter.)
       Abortion is however not kindness towards the conceived, since
       they have not expressed a preference either way, as you yourself
       note:
       [quote]They don't consent to life or death. They have no
       discernable preference.[/quote]
       It would be kinder to the conceived to keep them safe until they
       have expressed a preference one way or another, and only
       thereafter help them on whichever path they prefer. So,
       logically, the only people who could consistently believe
       abortion=kindness overall would be those who deem that kindness
       towards conceivers should take priority over kindness towards
       the conceived.

       Exposing them to life's cruelty is hardly "keeping them safe",
       is it? Do you listen when a newborn cries, or do think that's
       not a clear enough expression of preference?

       You're deflecting. Answer the questions.
       Or don't. I don't care. It's clear babies don't want to suffer.
       If they don't prefer life or death, there's no need to let that
       question delay intervention.

       "If they don't prefer life or death, there's no need to let that
       question delay intervention."
       If they have no preference, intervention is neither kindness nor
       unkindness towards them. It is initiated violence, though, since
       you have not been given permission by them to choose on their
       behalf.
       Do you understand the difference between a signed contract with
       a declaration that the signer has no preference in a given
       matter (therefore passing the choice to others) and a similar
       contract without a signature? You are arguing in effect that the
       latter entitles you to choose on behalf of everyone who didn't
       sign.

       I was referring to intervention in their suffering. The end
       (non-suffering) is their clear preference, they just can't
       answer which means they'd prefer. Just like if you were to
       choose "on their behalf" between non-lethal treatments, like
       different kinds of analgesic, or a warm bath or some milk and a
       cuddle.
       But, besides (apparently) attacking an argument I didn't make,
       your reasoning has a major flaw: Babies have no "choice" they
       can "pass to others" in the first place. Nature is already
       choosing on their behalf, without their consent. Any
       intervention would be in violence which is already being
       committed — not in an individual's agency over whether they live
       or die.

       Everything you just said is the opposite of what we believe in.
