In 2013, 42 states in America have introduced legislation imposing limits on abortion access. Expect more pro-life legislation - 2013 will be the WORST year in the history of Darwinism

On April 27, 2013, it was reported that in the United States, 42 states have introduced legislation imposing limits on abortion access. Considering the United States has 50 states, 42 is a considerable number of states enacting these type of laws.

Furthermore, in 2012 biblical creation belief in the United States saw a surge in growth and in 2013 biblical creationists will be more unified and engage in more grassroots activism.  See: Biblical creation belief will grow in America in 2013

Why does this matter? Biblical creation belief fuels Christian theological conservatism which in turn fuels pro-life activity.

Consider:

 The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann wrote in his 2010 book Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? concerning America:
High evangelical fertility rates more than compensated for losses to liberal Protestant sects during the twentieth century. In recent decades, white secularism has surged, but Latino and Asian religious immigration has taken up the slack, keeping secularism at bay. Across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will begin to tip the balance in the culture wars towards the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be pro-life. Their activism will leap over the borders of the 'Redeemer Nation' to evangelize the world. Already, the rise of the World Congress of Families has launched a global religious right, its arms stretching across the bloody lines of the War on Terror to embrace the entire Abrahamic family.
A survey of 1535 people, conducted by the Australian National University, revealed that belief in evolution is associated with moral permissiveness. See:  Morals decline linked to belief in evolution  If you teach people that they come from animals and that are merely animals and they will often act like animals.

In addition, evolutionary and atheistic ideology often leads to more abortions in societies and leaders of these ideologies have often been at the forefront of pushing abortion. See:  Evolutionary thinking and the pro-life vs. pro-abortion movements in 2012/2013

A UK professor's prediction of the rise of the rise of the American pro-life movement is occuring. American creationism is also seeing a lift in support

On January 25, 2012, the liberal media outlet National Public Radio admitted:
Organizers say today's March for Life rally in the nation's capital may bring more anti-abortion activists to the streets than last year's estimated 400,000. By midday, a large crowd was gathered in the National Mall, listening to speeches from former GOP presidential contender Rick Santorum and others and preparing to march toward the Capitol and the Supreme Court.

"We've seen lots of markers that would show that," Jeanne Monahan, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, tells NBC Washington. "Our hotel block sold out a month in advance of what it's ever sold out, and we've had more media requests than ever before, so we expect really record-breaking crowds."

Kaufmann using a multitude of demographic studies argues in an academic paper entitled Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century the decline of atheism in terms of its global adherents is an established trend that will persist for the foreseeable future and the rate of decline will accelerate. In the Western World, due to immigration and the higher birth rates of religious people, Kaufman writes: "Committed religious populations are growing in the West, and will reverse the march of secularism..."

On June 1, 2012, the Gallup organization released a survey on the percentage of young earth creationists in the United States has increased in recent months (approximately over 12 months).

The 6 point rise in the percentage of young earth creationist in about a year's time or so was an increase from 40% of Americans reporting to being young earth creationists to 46% of Americans reporting to being young earth creationist. This is the single biggest jump since Gallup has been polling on this issue.

Evolutionary thinking and the pro-life vs. pro-abortion movements in 2012/2013

Questions:

1. How does evolutionary thinking affect the pro-life vs. pro-abortion issue?

2. Is there any evidence that pro-life web traffic has had a recent trend of going upward? 

Josef Mengele, Darwinism and abortion

Josef Mengele was an evolutionist monster in Nazi Germany who fully bought into evolutionary racism of Hitler's Germany  which promoted the idea of the so-called "German master race".

Marl Ambler states:
Josef Mengele, the infamous race scientist at Auschwitz, studied at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute which had been renamed the Eugen Fischer Institute (p. 310). The Director of the institute was a close associate of Fischer, and Mengele had been a student of his at Frankfurt University’s Third Reich Institute of Hereditary Biology and Race Hygiene (p. 309). There are many other connections highlighted in the book between the colonial race scientists and later Nazi race science.
Paul G. Humbler wrote about Mengele and his pro-abortion views:
Many people today do not seem to realize that the same poisonous philosophy (evolutionism) that justified killing under Hitler has also infected the American abortion mentality.

According to documents released as recently as February 10, 1992, "Joseph Mengele, the Auschwitz death-camp doctor known as the 'Angel of Death' for his experiments on inmates, practiced medicine in Buenos Aires for several years in the 1950s. He 'had a reputation as a specialist in abortions,' which were illegal."  It should not be surprising that one who extinguished life at Auschwitz would practice a similar grisly crusade on life in the womb.
Furthermore, the staunch evolutionists PZ Myers rabidly defends pro-abortion thinking. See: PZ Myers on abortion   See also: Evolutionist Richard Dawkins on abortion

Atheists and agnostics tend to be the most vocal defenders of evolutionary belief. See: A Who’s Who of evolutionists and Refuting Evolution, Chapter 1, Facts and Bias

The Barna Group found that atheists and agnostics in America were more likely, than theists in America, to look upon the following behaviors as morally acceptable: illegal drug use; excessive drinking; sexual relationships outside of marriage; abortion; cohabitating with someone of opposite sex outside of marriage; obscene language; gambling; pornography and obscene sexual behavior; and engaging in homosexuality/bisexuality

The Journal of Medical Ethics article declared concerning the atheist and sadist Marquis de Sade:

In 1795 the Marquis de Sade published his La Philosophic dans le boudoir, in which he proposed the use of induced abortion for social reasons and as a means of population control. It is from this time that medical and social acceptance of abortion can be dated, although previously the subject had not been discussed in public in modern times. It is suggested that it was largely due to de Sade's writing that induced abortion received the impetus which resulted in its subsequent spread in western society.

How is the pro-abortion and right-to-life ideological fight going in 2012 and 2013?

Previously, we documented that the web traffic of many leading atheist and evolutionist websites has significantly diminished in recent years.  See: Decline of internet atheism articles

So let's take a quick glance at the pro-life vs. pro-abortion internet world.
