Psychoanalysis of Pro-Life crowd

I know psychoanalysis is not as popular as talk show

    pop psychology and pill popping in treating mental disorders.

    For me - a fan of old Freud - I see this obsession with human

    life in the womb- that grows into a nasty and arrogant POLITICAL

    movement - as rooted in abnormal psychology of neurotic individuals.

            A psychological profile of the typical " pro-life " - anti-

    choice- anti-abortion militant is not that of an appealing personality.

    The typical pro-lifer often is not even somebody you would trust as

    a baby-sitter. He or she is a cold fish - often showing no passion

    for other moral issues like the death penalty, homelessness, poverty,

    war. But these anti-abortion fanatics are madly devoted to the unborn.

             I think religious and economic institutions have a vested

    interest in FRESH BLOOD - like Count Dracula, their future depends

    on it. What does the Catholic Church and the Burger King have in

    common ?  Yes, tell the destitute of the earth : KEEP THE BAMBINOS

    COMING !

              Respect for human life just does not explain the fanaticism

    of the pro-life movement. CHEAP LABOR in a crowded world is the LIFE

    of the church - and the LIFE of global capitalism.

               What do they care about human dignity ?
