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.

With Covid shots, what we have is — picture a middle-aged woman in Orange County, California, who gets a Covid shot and then she gets myocarditis. So now she has to do regular appointments with the cardiologist. She’s in and out of the hospital, she’s sick all the time. So over the course of the next five to ten years of her life, her health care costs are going to be in the range of about $2 million. And that all goes to Pharma, doctors, and the pharmaceutical industrial complex.
If that same woman was enslaved in a gold mine in South America, you could only get about $20,000 worth of labor out of her — the most if you worked her to the bone. And then she would, you know, eventually, perish. The old model of colonialism, right? But in five to 10 years in the U.S. you can squeeze $2 million out of this one person through iatrogenic [caused by medical examination or treatment] injury, through a Covid shot that causes myocarditis that sends her in and out of the hospital for 10 ...
It's a public school. His boy is 11. Here's what he saw:
"To begin, the boys are treated almost as though they are defective girls. The feminine modes of interaction and socialization are treated as though they are the only legitimate modes of interaction and serve as the taken-for-granted way to properly interact and navigate the world. Almost all the authority figures at my sons school are women with almost no exceptions.
My son often comes home from school and expresses utter frustration at the fact that his preferred way of communicating, as well as the things that are aligned with his temperament are treated as though they were somehow inferior. As he is 11 (and being assessed for autism) he lacks the correct technical language to describe this, so it generally shows up as him getting in trouble for being insufficiently "gentle" and "kind" in response to various passive aggressive power plays and instances of bullying carried out by his more socially developed (often) female peers....
Monogamy isn’t cultural preference; it’s creational norm. Polygamy might appear in chaos, but it always deepens the chaos.
God’s design is simple and enduring: one man, one woman, one covenant… strong enough to build households that stand and kingdoms that last.
Polygamy offers no solution for modern America. We aren’t a nation of widows or war-torn refugees. There are sufficient men for women, and women for men. There’s no social necessity behind this new fascination with multiple wives. What we’re seeing is moral decay baptized in Christianese.
The men pushing it aren’t rescuing anyone. They’re indulging appetites trained by pornography and self-gratification. They’ve learned to crave novelty and call it freedom. The idea of chastity, loyalty, and lifelong devotion feels foreign to them, so instead of repentance they rename their lust “biblical.” They quote Abraham and Jacob but ignore the misery polygamy brought into those men’s homes.
It isn’t biblical ...
