THE Malthusian eugenics of the English aristocracy is alive and well in Australia, but not as the theory as once practiced against the unfortunate Negroes of America in the notorious Tuskegee Experiments, but in the global abortion industry.
The major proponent of abortion in Australia, Marie Stopes International (MSI International), takes its name from the Scottish author, palaeobotanist and campaigner for eugenics and women’s rights.
There are also abortion clinics like Clinic 66 in Sydney, which has an online abortion service – all endorsed by government and the Australian Medical Association, the same people who assured us that mRNA jabs were “safe and effective”.
Dr Emma Boulton, the calm and reassuring face of Clinic 66, promotes the abortion pill for the killing of unwanted human lives. Of course in the abortion industry you don’t talk about killing human lives, it’s more a matter of “disposal of foetuses”, which apparently do not qualify as human beings. And apparently, it’s “easier” now if women take a foetus poisoning pill up to nine weeks pegnant under instructions via a “tele-abortion” service.
But Dr Boulton does warn of possible dangerous side-effects of abortion pills on the mother and says the pills are not a good option if you live more than two hours away from medical care.
One woman writing under a pseudonym described how she nearly died as a result of taking Misoprostol, the commonly prescribed abortion pill. The woman is alarmed at the dangers faced by women taking this pill in isolated regions without ready access to medical care.
“I was never told that abortion pills are the abortion method with the greatest rate of complication and that Mifepristone and Misoprostol have a history of incomplete abortion, leaving retained products and causing uterine infection.
“This is precisely what I experienced when given Misoprostol to assist my missed miscarriage. The three-day bloody expulsion process was extremely excruciating and traumatic.
“I was grateful to be in a hospital environment with the support of professional nursing staff, my husband, and strong Endone for much needed pain relief. Nurses explained to my husband that some women go into shock when passing the baby, as she can get stuck on the way out. They told him the signs to look for and urged him to ring the bell immediately if I showed any of these signs, as it could be fatal.
“I was given a bowl to collect all “products” that I passed, and when my twins arrived, I saw them – floating in the bowl of blood. I couldn’t comprehend why their little lives had ended so soon. I will never forget what they looked like.
“But the traumatic ordeal wasn’t over. Twelve days after taking Misoprostol I was back in hospital undergoing a dilation and curettage for 3cm of retained placenta. The process had been incomplete, even though I had been monitored through it by nurses and had an ultrasound scan in hospital before being discharged.”
So “population control” by abortion pill is not necessarily the “relatively easy and inexpensive task” touted by the abortion industry. This is the reality of 2025-style eugenics in Australia.
It is intriguing that modern-day abortionists take their “inspiration” from an early 20th century eugenicist. But Marie Stopes was not just a eugenicist, she was a “feminist eugenicist”. Wikipedia notes that Stopes’ biographer June Rose claimed “Marie was an elitist, an idealist, interested in creating a society in which only the best and beautiful should survive.”
This view was echoed by Richard A. Soloway in the 1996 Galton Lecture: “If Stopes’s general interest in birth control was a logical consequence of her romantic preoccupation with compatible sexuality within blissful marriage, her particular efforts to provide birth control for the poor had far more to do with her eugenic concerns about the impending ‘racial darkness’ that the adoption of contraception promised to illuminate.”
The rationale behind abortion today is little different to the rationale applied by Stopes. The decision to end the life of the infant is driven by fear of being unable to properly provide for the child, often because the father is not a father and provider in an age of Hollywood morals.
Undoubtedly it takes some courage and faith for a mother, especially a single mother, to proceed with her pregnancy. A half-decent family and friends should help such people on their journey.
Wikipedia notes that Stopes’s enthusiasm for eugenics and race improvement was in line with many intellectuals and public figures of the time: for example Havelock Ellis, Cyril Burt and George Bernard Shaw the Fabian Socialist.
“Eugenic sympathies were drawn from the left and the right of politics and included Labour politicians, such as Ellen Wilkinson. As a child Stopes had met Francis Galton, one of the founders of modern eugenics, through her father. She joined the Eugenics Education Society in 1912 and became a life fellow in 1921, although she complained that she was “cold shouldered” by the inner circle.
To be fair to Stopes, she was not anti-motherhood or anti-family like the modern radical feminists. Her 1920 book Radiant Motherhood she refers to “The power of the mother, consciously exerted in the voluntary procreation and joyous bearing of her children, is the greatest power in the world”.
But Stopes, like the aristocrats of her circle, was alarmed by “inborn incapacity which lies in the vast and ever increasing stock of degenerate, feeble-minded and unbalanced who are now in our midst and who devastate social customs. These populate most rapidly and tend proportionately to increase and these are like the parasite upon the healthy tree sapping its vitality.”
It is intriguing, to say the least, that a modern multinational business named after Stopes, MSI International Australia, should be a major promoter of abortion, and abortion by poison pill in particular. MSI also touts itself purpose as an international medical recruitment agency.
