Eugenics and its Link to Evolution and Abortion

There is a side to evolution that few acknowledge or discuss; perhaps because the Judeo-Christian heritage of Western scientists leads to a sense of morality that is inconsistent with Naturalism. A belief that man ultimately evolved through a process involving mutation and biological evaluation (the survival of the fitness) necessarily devalues the life of some and exalts the strong in preference to the weak. Evolutionary progress necessitates the extinction of the weak and inferior.

Eugenics is dedicated to the proposition that all men are created unequal and the food is running short; that, in the struggle for food, those who have an inherited advantage prevail and pass the advantage on to their children who prevail even more; that this is how evolution, Yale and the English aristocracy happened.

This is a philosophy diametrically opposed to Christianity in which the weak are protected and all human life is valued. I'm not suggesting that all or even most evolutionists support eugenics. However, I would propose that there is a great inconsistency between belief in evolution and the accepted moral practices of society, for which I am most grateful. Unfortunately, the practice of abortion and the organizations who fight for it (e.g. planned parenthood) are indicative of a deteriorating cultural change and moral decline. Where will the trajectory of this decline lead?
