To whom it may concern:

I can understand where your opposition to abortion, contraception and family planning is based on the argument that Life Begins @ Conception, No Ifs, Ands or Buts; ergo, by this line of thinking, Abortion=Murder, not to mention contraception being "unnatural interference" with the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God.

However, I think it was time to ask you about an issue indirectly related to banning abortion, per your greater articles of faith, yet which deserves to be addressed nonetheless:

You may or may not recall news items following the collapse of Nicolae Ceauçescu's basket-case Communist regime in Romania towards the end of 1989, as part of the general collapse of the Iron Curtain in Central and Eastern Europe, about the delusions of said regime seeking to hasten the Final Onset of Pure Socialism through:

• Requiring all married couples to give birth to @ least five children;
• Requiring all pregnant women to undergo monthly gynecological examinations, as included bromide-laden lectures about her serving the Greater Glory of Socialism all the while and advice that if she didn't want to care for her offspring, she could leave it with State orphanages;
• Offering larger apartments and better ration allowances to larger families; and
• Proscribing abortion, contraception, family planning and even sex education, all seen to be "tending to promote decadent bougeois tendencies" seen as incompatible to the Advancement of Socialism among the proletariat.

Policies, know, implemented by decree following Ceauçescu's coming to power in 1966, and brutally enforced by the Securitate secret police.

Policies which, in the end, would be its undoing, especially having failed to realise until too late that such a policy would translate, in time, to a major surplus of workers to available jobs in a centrally-planned, Communist socioeconomic model and paradigm as relied all too much on Five-Year Plans for the most part--in other words, wholesale "social parasitism" (to use a Communist-bloc catch-all phrase describing such without work or otherwise "leading an immoral, idle or dissolute life") as was the making of the State all along, and for which her "Soviet sister republics" would be unlikely to accomodate even as "guest workers" just to pay off past-due foreign debt on an "in-kind" basis.

And this while Ceauçescu demolished whole sections of Bucharest wholesale for a Grand Redesign as included the grandiose Palace of Socialist Glory and Victory of Socialism Boulevard ... bulldozed whole villages flat to rebuild them as nothing more than apartment-block travesties officically known as "agro-industrial complexes," all along driving his people into starvation ... and accumulated a rather substantial collection of the crudest and most perverted pornography known.

With that as background, then, I would like to ask:

1. Is your larger desire in seeking to ban abortion "completely and finally" nothing short of economic (as in creating a pool of poor, undereducated or homeschooled and easily-influenced Joe Sixpack working-class types)?
2. Over time, would you call for a "complete and final" ban on immigration in the interest of "protecting American workers and American jobs"?
3. Would such a blanket ban on abortion include outright disincentives to industry vis-a-vis updating plant and machinery (or, put another way, keeping American industry all the more labour-intensive in the name of "industrial heritage"), especially so from the tax standpoint?
4. Given your element's known objections to expanding State welfare on the grounds that such amounts to nothing more than admitting Moral Error and Weakness, how can you expect especially lower-income families to care for all the children you forced on them out of their own potentially limited and limiting resources exclusively?
5. How can you expect a free-market capitalist socioeconomic model and paradigm to absorb all the surplus labour resulting over time?
6. Are you going to force pregnant women to have mandatory monthly gynecological examinations, replete with all manner of bromide-laden lectures about their serving American and Christian Patriot Love?
7. Would such policies give undue preference to so-called "European-American" peoples which your racist and white-supremacist friends would consider "racially and morally superior"?
8. How do we know such policies are not really a rehashing of the worst excesses of apartheid South Africa, in particular campaigns in the mid-1980's to increase white birth rates under the slogan "Make Babies for [then-Prime Minister P.W.] Botha"?
9. Are you also expecting the schools to replace sex education with "race studies" classes in the stylee of Nazi Germany?
10. How do we know that such a desire to create essentially a nativist brand of capitalistic self-sufficency will not result in the overt sanctioning of prostitution not unlike Nazi Germany's Lebensborn programme as sought to create a genetically-superior "Aryan Master Race" as would ensure the continuity of the Nazi regime?
11. What exactly would preclude your acknowledging openly that the whole desire in banning abortion is nothing short of intitutionalised racism and nativism, pure and unadulterated?
12. Are you now, or have you ever been--
1. an alcoholic?
2. a drug addict?
3. a gambler?
4. a chronic and habitual spendthrift?
5. an Undischarged Bankrupt?
6. a spousal/child abuser?
7. a sex fiend or maniac?
8. a regular parton of adult-oriented businesses?
9. a prostitute or other employee in the sex trade?
10. a known or otherwise infamous criminal with a police record?
11. diagnosed with a loathsome mental illness, defect or disease?
12. committed involuntarily to a state institution for the mentally-defective or insane?
13. diagnosed with a Loathsome Social Disease?
14. repeatedly dismissed from employment for reasons including alcoholism, drugs, repeated tardiness or "insubordination"?
15. associated with weird and/or unwholesome elements as include racists, white supremacists, and suchlike (many of which could themselves be alcoholics, drug addicts, gamblers, spendthrifts, and other undesirable types)?

We await the answers--TRUTHFUL answers, come to think of it.
