Drawing on the recent work of his half-cousin Charles Darwin, Galton proposed that the human race could be improved by a sort of guided natural selection, encouraging the reproduction of some people while discouraging others. The latter category initially consisted of people with gross genetic and mental deficiencies but gradually some individuals and governments -- including America's -- expanded it to include the forced sterilization of the poor, the handicapped, even certain races and ethnicities. Eugenics also opened to door for abortion -- initially for babies with severe handicaps or who were products of rape -- where the tendency to rape was seen at the time as an inheritable characteristic. But gradually, in some countries -- again most notably in America -- abortion became accepted for almost any baby and for any reason. And while eugenics is today almost universally condemned as a socio-scientific theory, its stepchild -- abortion on demand -- is alive and well. To take as just one example of this brave new world of scientific progressivism, let's consider the first "sex congress," held in Berlin in 1921. The World League for Sexual Reform was led by three pioneers in the field of sexology from Switzerland, England and Germany. Auguste Forel (1848 -- 1931) had grown up in a pious Calvinistic home. Early on he developed religious doubts and at sixteen refused to be confirmed as a Christian. He spent the rest of his life attacking biblical standards -- what he called "religious mysticism" -- concerning human sexuality. An ardent socialist and eugenicist, in 1905 Forel authored "The Sexual Question" the first book to provide a comprehensive treatment of human sexuality from both biological and sociological perspectives. In it and other writings Forel championed homosexuality -- including homosexual marriage -- the decriminalization of incest and bestiality and was among the first to advocate abortion in the case of rape, danger to the mother's health, mental illness and similar contingencies. At a time when almost everyone viewed abortion as an immoral and criminal act, his was a very ground-breaking position. Havelock Ellis (1859 -- 1939) a British sexologist and advocate for eugenics, wrote Sexual Inversion, the first English medical text book on homosexuality. In it he advocated the normalization of same-sex relationships, including consensual acts between men and boys. A fan of famed atheist philosopher Frederic Nietzsche and Fabian socialist and gay activist Edward Carpenter, Ellis authored a book on the two men, calling them "modern seers." He also advocated the use of psychotropic drugs -- for example, in his essay "Mescal: A New Artificial Paradise." In his personal life he married a lesbian and practiced open marriage, including as just one of his lovers, Margaret Sanger. Magnus Hirschfield (1868 -- 1935) was a secularized Jew, eugenicist, socialist and homosexual who was the primary force behind the de-criminalization of homosexuality and turning Germany -- and particularly Berlin -- into a worldwide epicenter for the gay lifestyle. Germany at the time was also a hot-bed of occultism -- a revival that, just by the way, featured heavily in the formation of the SS, National Socialism and Hitler's Third Reich. In 1987 Hirschfield co-founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, the first homosexual-rights organization in Western history. Another co-founder, Max Spohr, was a publisher who not only printed Hirschfield's and other lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender publications, he was also responsible for many of the occult texts that helped drive the revivals of occultism in Germany, France and the U.K. Around the same time Aleister Crowley was making a name for himself as "the Beast 666" and "the wickedest man in the world." Taking the tantric sex introduced by Sir Richard Burton and the occult ideas that were in the air at the time, Crowley combined them with Nietzsche's "will to power" and his concept of the "over-man," or "superman" who by force of will and intellect is able to transcend the feeble Christian values of good and evil. The result was a witch's brew of unimaginably perverse sexual activity and occult rituals he called sex magick and that brought forth his most famous axiom: "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the Law." As we have already seen, the Bible says that there is no new thing under the sun. Crowley's newfangled law is just a regurgitation of what the Adam and Eve fell for in the garden: "You shall be as God -- determining for yourself what is good and evil." For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5).
