What Does A Culture Look Like Which Has Lost “Natural Affection?”

Some cultures simply devalue all human life, gradually, as theological death cultures like Hinduism and animism are perpetuated over many generations. But even Christian culture can drop into a death spiral when the natural cherishing of family relationships disintegrates, as it did in America with the establishment of age-segregated public school environments in the 1940s, and the fornication/abortion culture of the 1970s.

Siblings lost the foundations of brotherly love. Husbands began to mistreat, abuse or neglect their wives. But the most dreadful symptom of astorgos, the absence of natural affection, is maternal selfishness, leading to radical disregard for the life or health of an unborn child. Infanticide has been a cultural norm in post-Christian America for a half century; and now comes a demand for yet another cultural expression of astorgos.

This is a political demand from the trans world of trans women. They are determined to defy their birth-assigned gender. They want to “identify” as men. But, further, they want to defy God’s Creation by conceiving a child “as a man,” carrying a child “as a man,” and then giving birth and “chest-feeding” the child to prove that “men can get pregnant.”

In order to make this political charade work biologically, a pregnant woman must experiment with high dosages of testosterone to maintain her beard and other superficial traits which make her look like “a pregnant man.”
So what happens to the well-being of a child whose mother is dosing male hormones during pregnancy?

Presently, testosterone is classified as a teratogenic, US FDA pregnancy category X drug, suggesting it can induce birth defects. It is labeled as such because “studies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus, and/or human or animal studies have shown fetal abnormalities; risks of the drug outweigh the potential benefits.”

The attached article is a political diatribe posing as a medical paper. In it the authors make much of the mental health of mothers who insist they look like males to “deal” with life. The authors are putting political pressure on the medical establishment to put the “mental health” of the political women high above the well-being of unborn children. Here is the absence of natural affection.

You can see its Biblical context in Romans_1:31 and 2 Timothy 3:3.

Ruling Class Self-Interest: More War

Colonel Douglas MacGregor predicts a continuation of the Iran war soon, once all sides have replenished missile stocks.

"Washington’s political class manifests much less regard for the long-term strategic interests of its own citizens—their security and prosperity. As a result, Washington pays an exorbitant price in reputation and treasure for policies that confront Palestinians with the choice of death or expulsion from their homelands.
