The Uruguayan Senate has passed legislation today to decriminalise abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy [1]. The decision was made with pressure from international NGOs including the Rockefeller Foundation [2].

My own stance on abortion is that of personal freedom. I would never recommend that a woman should abort a potential life, however I believe she should have the personal freedom to choose abortion if all other options are exhausted. If somebody I knew was considering abortion I would argue strongly against the choice, but wouldn’t condone the use of laws or force to prevent them. For me it’s about teaching responsibility and ethics. You can’t force responsibility and ethics.

Regardless of those views I also think it’s important to study the motives and history behind the abortion industry. To simplify where I’m going with this I’ll pose a question.

If a doctor enjoys murdering babies, do you believe that doctor should be promoting and conducting abortions? And here lies the gray area of abortion. Its history is deeply rooted in the pseudo-science of negative eugenics. The concept that lower class inferior people or different races should not reproduce so that the elite class can dominate. Hitler was very much inspired by British and American elites who were sterilizing minorities, the “feeble-minded” and aborting their offspring long before the Nazis.

On one level you’d think I would be fine with the Rockefeller Foundation financing the push for abortion to be made legal in Uruguay, since I believe in a woman’s right to choose. But we swiftly enter those gray areas.

It was the robber barons, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the Harriman railroad fortune and the Carnegie Institute that funded the original Eugenics programs in the US [3]. These deeply racist and unscientific predators enacted laws prohibiting the poorly educated lower classes from marrying or reproducing, forcibly sterilizing over 64,000 individuals from 1907 to 1963 [4].

In May 1926, Rockefeller granted $250,000 to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, which would go on to aid Hitler’s Nazi medical experiments and programs, including Eugenics and Racial “Hygiene” [5].

So when one of the same Foundations is promoting abortion on the poor South American nation of Uruguay today, it’s not as simple as “oh they just want to help”. Elite monied foundations rarely just want to help without another motive. It was only in 1974 that Henry Kissinger wrote Memorandum 200 [6], making it official US policy to reduce the population of 3rd world countries in case they start infringing on America’s strategic, economic, and military interests. This wasn’t to help, it was to prevent competition.

Abortion is also tied in to the overpopulation and climate change crowd, who claim life must be stunted because it is no longer sustainable. Who can forget the video of Bill Gates basically claiming Man = CO2, so we must subtract man to reduce CO2?

Bill & Melinda Gates are a substantial donor to Planned Parenthood, the abortion juggernaut founded by ardent racist and Hitler admirer Margaret Sanger, who through selective history has somehow become a liberal role model.

Does Bill Gates promote abortion because he cares about the life of individual women? Or does he promote abortion because he wants to reduce the world’s population and is an alarmist believer in made made global warming?

A representative of the Family and Life Ministry of the Uruguayan Episcopal Conference told the Senate Public Health committee that “these days, very few people are ignorant of the existence of international interests in favor of imposing abortion on countries.”

“There are international foundations behind these pressures like the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and many more (…) who see world population growth as a security problem,” said Gabriela López, secretary of the episcopal conference [7].

We can often get wrapped up in the pro life, pro choice debate, but what business do Western based Foundations have directing South American legislation?
