The head rules the belly through the chest.

So the intellect rules the the belly, the appetite through the chest, which is virtue, honor and morality.

So so but what is men without chests?

Well, then then the intellect rules the appetite with nothing to temper it in between.

And that's what he calls the abolition of man.

And aren't we good at coming up with intellectual justifications for our urges?

Oh, yeah.

Human beings are very good at that.

That's the whole that's chapter one of the abolition of man, which I think he writes in 1945.

We have to identify that in all of ourselves.

We all have the tendency to pursue our curated version of liberty, our passions, our desires and our addictions, even when that comes at the expense of the innocent, the young, the unborn or those yet to be born who will inherit this republic.

And so I love how our friend Katie Faust puts it.

Almost every political issue can be defined as prioritizing the interests and desires of adults over the rights and needs of children, even if those children are not born yet.

We're doing that with generational debt as well.

So that's a perfect example of libido dominandi or the lust to dominate, even when it means redefining our historic understanding of liberty.

And so today there are twice as many babies

This is so gnarly to have to say, Al, you've heard this, but most Christians are shocked to hear what I'm about to say.

There are twice as many babies being killed, losing their lives every 12 months in America through big fertility, meaning through IVF, than through the abortion industry.

I could go through the data as how we kind of reset number.

It's hard to have like full proof, bulletproof numbers because states have not passed any good legislation yet to go into the IVF labs and actually get their data.
