Abortion “thinking” has all the characteristics of the
panicky trends of the radio age in the ’20s, which
produced Hitler and Stalin, with their mass
followings. Abortion “thinking” is taking place in an
even deeper swamp of mass hysteria created by the
inner trips of the TV image. It is important to realize
that all of our thinking about abortion is taking
place in the smogged-over world of TV. It is
becoming monstrous even to mention the individual
rights of the born, or the unborn. Only huge
categories will serve, such as the “rights of
pregnant teenagers” or the “rights of all pregnant
mothers.” Only very large quantities of organic
material (crowds) can now command attention.
