abortionmatrix.com Unlike most of his contemporaries, Crowley, like Nietzsche, had the intellectual honesty -- or at least the nerve -- to call this worldview precisely what it was according to Scripture: satanic, beastly, devilish, anti-Christ. A half-century later, his American heir-apparent, Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, said precisely the same thing. And so while witchcraft and goddess worship are a major conduit for the demonic energies that swirl in and through the abortion movement, there is another, more masculine component as well: good, old fashioned "Do What Thou Wilt" satanism. And, back to Crowley: Aldous Huxley famously dined with him and it was rumored that the old beast took the opportunity to turn him on to peyote. Not only did the famed author of Brave New World later romanticize the emerging drug culture by writing The Doors of Perception, he also wrote the preface to Birth-control Methods by Australian sexologist and closet homosexual Norman Haire. A colleague of Ellis' and Hirschfield's and an attendee of the World Sex Congress of 1921, Haire, like the others, was a staunch supporter of gay rights and the eugenics movement. But even more interesting and significant is the Crowley connection to perhaps the 20th century's most influential sexologist, Alfred Kinsey. Founder of the Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University -- now called the Kinsey Institute -- Kinsey, like his European counterparts, set out normalize all manner of deviant sexuality under the guise of objective science. Bisexual and with a penchant for masochism, Kinsey encouraged group sex among his graduate students and filmed sex acts in the attic of his home under the guise of research. Towards the end of his life, he, along with avant-garde filmmaker and Crowley disciple Kenneth Anger, visited the Great Beast at his lair at the Thelema Abbey in Siciliy. Anger later observed, "Kinsey was obsessed with obtaining the Great Beast's day-to-day sex diaries... To obtain grant monies and maintain the support of the university, Kinsey needed the excuse of research to validate his twenty-four-hours-a-day obsession with sex." That the man who perhaps more than any other was responsible for the "legitimization" of sexual perversion in the latter half of the 20th century was both a pervert and a fan of the century's most notable occultist is a fact that should be shouted from the housetops... as well as his connection to the abortion holocaust. In April of 1955, 16 months before he died, Kinsey attended a clandestine conference on the abortion issue at the Arden House in Harriman, New York. Sponsored by Planned Parenthood and the New York Academy of Medicine, a report from the conference was published three years later. Edited by Planned Parenthood's president, Dr. Mary Calderone, Abortion in The United States was the first serious apologetic on abortion rights. Kinsey was quoted as the leading "scientific" authority at the conference, citing data from his questionable research suggesting that illegal abortions were very common and dangerous while "therapeutic abortion" -- abortion performed by a doctor -- posed minimal health risks. In other words, legalizing abortion made perfect medical sense. Pregnancy, Birth and Abortion, published the same year by three Kinsey Institute researchers -- and dedicated to Kinsey -- made essentially the same argument. Together, these books were a first major strike against America's abortion laws and provided the so-called scientific support for the prestigious American Law Institute's position on abortion. Codified in their 1959 draft of the Model Penal Code, the proposed law allowed for elective abortion in cases of rape, incest, fetal deformity, and threats to the mother's physical or mental health. This last stipulation, mental health, of course, was the camel's nose in the tent that made abortion as a fall back method of birth control possible. All a woman had to do to get an abortion was say that having the unplanned baby would impinge on her happiness or peace-of-mind. The door to abortion-on-demand was now open. New York was among the first states to walk through it and by 1970 had the most liberal abortion laws in the country. The Supreme Court forced the rest of the United States to follow in 1973, citing the ALI's Model Penal Code in its infamous Roe v. Wade decision. "Do what thou wilt" became the whole of the law.
