We Are Worse than the Incas

Child sacrifice, theirs and ours

Greetings all,

I have a column on the horrifed reaction of many Britons to the Labour government’s decision to legalize abortion up until birth—for any reason at all. An excerpt:

The decriminalization of abortion up until birth in the United Kingdom passed this week by a margin of 379 in favor to 137 opposed after a debate of only 46 minutes and just a handful of speeches. Labour MPs cheered when the vote passed.

“For years, I’ve heard British people say, with a tinge of pride, ‘Well here we don’t have culture wars over abortion, unlike in the United States,’” Harvard professor Adrian Vermeule wrote. “Maybe you should have had them.”

Vermeule is right. The United States is the only Anglosphere nation with a national abortion debate that resulted, after a half-century, in the U.S. Supreme Court stating in Dobbs v. Jackson that “Abortion is not a constitutional right.” That line was the contention of hundreds of thousands of activists fighting for decades while facing the contempt of mainstream culture; now, it is the position of the highest court in the land.

Read the whole things: “‘We’re murdering babies’: Devastated Britons speak out against decriminalizing abortion until birth.”

At WORLD Opinion, I have a column on the child sacrifice of the Inca—I was traveling in Peru recently—and the child sacrifice of the West. An excerpt:

The Incas and other Mesoamericans sacrificed human beings to their gods because they believed that children were the most valuable sacrifice they could make. Every day across the post-Christian West, we kill our children with pills, forceps, and suction aspirators as if they mean nothing at all. As a display in the Larco Museum stated: “The society offered its gods one of its most valued assets in exchange for the well-being of the community.” But we throw our children away as if they are worthless.

Read the whole thing here: “More barbaric than the Incas.” I submitted this column long before the horrifying news out of the UK, but the grim publication timing is apt.

On the podcast, I spoke with investigative journalists Jennifer Bilek and Brandon Showalter on the inside story of the transgender wars:
