PREGNANT

AMERICA IS PREGNANT

WITH A MONUMENTAL REBIRTH GROUP-FANTASY

WHAT THE ANTI-ABORTION MOVEMENT IS ABOUT


: 2008 is scheduled on the Rove-o-meter (hypothesis) to be a
Re-Birth of New Republican-Conservative majority party. Psychohistorian L. deMause has shown that the 4 year election cycle has become (is, at the unconscious level) the acting out of ritual re-birth fantasy. It re-enacts the original sequence of events humanity passes through in order to get where we are:

the Countdown! => increasing Buildup ("Growth"); decreasing discomfort in ever more constricting womb-surround => Release! (Rescue!) from the pounding, squeezing, over-heated birth canal, and drawing of blessed First Breath of life outside the 'monstrous' poisonous placenta. Those who emotionally count themselves as 'members' of the group America*-- a citizen, and proud of it -- share the unconscious group fantasy of sharing it* as womb-surround of sibling fetuses. "Heroes" down through the ages, from Mardul to Jesus to McCain, invariably come to Rescue! Save the Children! from the crushing, strangling, breath-sucking (de-oxenized blood flow) mysteriously powerful Evil Poisonous placenta, keeping them in Bondage, denying Freedom, Birth! Being! This an essential element in the repetition-compulsion of the birth process as a trauma imprinted on the neural apparatus: fetal heroes fighting an evil, death-intending monster threatening extinction. Calling on the Will to Never Yield! To give up the Spirit! -- and die. (note: in actual childbirth, deMause notes, complications can lead to such continuous hard pounding against an unopening cervix, or blocking umbilicus cord, so that the confluent inner movement of straining by the fetus to GET OUT! of the birth canal, and GET FREE! of the poisonous placenta, ...go into the condition of 'body fail'. The Unborn simply gives up. Its existential impulse exhausted. (McCain knows that point, too.)

Given this structure of the sign-use processing (psychosemiotic) apparatus, ABORTION -- even the word, use of which evokes a mini-cathexis of the birth-trauma complex -- is an ultimate psycho-intellectual threat. It terminates the pregnancy. (cf. "The Terminator", "Term limits" - Mayer Bloomberg calls for increasing them to 3 for NYC). Taken 'on the token side', if "We", as a group, "allow abortion", that would be the same as allowing "Me", as a member of the group, to die. This accounts for the fanaticism of the ant-abortionist movement. It is based on the shared unconscious group fantasy of Americans* as sibling fetuses in it* as blood-supplying womb-surround. It leads (=>) to the political tautology: WE* MUST PROHIBIT ABORTION IN ORDER FOR ME* TO EXIST! For ME* can also be substituted YOU*, to those in the audience that will join up in their capitalist torture-womb. Their "me" is also their "we": they think of themselves in the same terms* as fantasized for others.

This is the ritual role played by the anti-abortion movement. What has been acted out unconsciously, on the token side, is now textualized, repeated in explicit, though doubly-unconscious, rebirth imagery, icons, pageantry, etc. associated with 11.4.08 --birthday of the New Administration! The Voters will have Spoken! They will have selected one of the two Champions of their America as the one to "defend it from all enemies". By definition, that can never by a liberal, who allows them; least of all Obama, a black man, probably closer, existentially, to those who might need one. lol ;-0 If the Republicans get over on America with the McCain-Palin ticket, this double-unconscious/conscious Monster Child dialect, Conceived in a commandeered Womb Surround by soul rape, will become the psychosemiotic coin* of the land. We will all be required by the official stories about events, such as 9.11.01, to think, whenever we think of ourselves as "Me", either In or Out of their projected fantasy womb-surround. The dichotomy is itself a poisonous intrusion. What is unconscious in this case cannot be included side by side with what is conscious, for it conjoins what is not (X) with what X IS, for America. This is a new field of logic, difficult to explain without preparation, but clear, when seen. The unconscious agenda of right wing politics is to bring everyone, every citizen, under their benign gift of life.


ABORT OR BEAR THEIR CHILD

(..ILLEGITIMATE -- not asked for; product of rape)

(..deformed: by-passing Congressional hearings; no full citizen's input anywhere in the process)

Personal vs. Transpersonal Abortion

In personal terms: terminating a pregnancy is an interaction between a woman and the embryo growing in her, ordinarily made with medical assistance. It would be an extremely traumatizing decision about an ultimate, forever-after thing in her life. This region of private tokenspace should be treated as inviolable.

Transpersonally: It has already been explained above that the shared Me = We fantasy reconstitutes the original situation externally, in participation in election-rebirth rituals. The religious compulsion to VOTE! is pushed in everyone's face every day from all sides of the media. VOTE! Through the ballot, as umbilicus (remember 'changing chads'?) there is a silver, or blood red, thread binding all in The Election. "How did you vote in the '08 election?" will be a forever-question. It will Make A Difference. After that, can come Change.

There are different levels (predicates presupposing prior predications) of Transpersonal Abortion. 1. "killer mommie" (who would do Me in)
2. Wall Street Bailout holdouts (cutting off flow of money=> liquidity =>oxygen)
3. John McCain's presidency <= Vietnam guilt paid
4. Republican Party Rebirth
