Okay, so this is the subject so many have been waiting for: a male with an opinion on abortion?! Holy shit! That's… that's archaic. Is that really still happening? Yes, yes it is happening because we're all human beings and I'm not out here to take sides on the issue actually. What I am here to do is say that I believe that there's a third perspective that I never hear about. So and this is… if nothing else this is about stuff that never gets spoken of. This podcast is supposed to be about tearing things down and looking at the things that we never noticed that were right in front of us the whole time.

So ‘abortion;’ you believe in it, you don't believe in it, you believe in it sometimes, depending on the circumstances you believe in it, but before a certain amount of time, but not after a certain amount of time… I have a different perspective; and my perspective on abortion is this: How many lives have been aborted because our society teaches our children that sex is for their enjoyment?

Welcome to Dad Hacked the Sex Matrix: The Abortion Episode.

Winston Churchill was quoted as saying History is written by the victors. And he's referring to the history of humanity being written from the perspective of the conquerors, the winners of war and conflict, certainly not the losers. Maybe that's what happened when humans rose to the top of the food chain and became not just the dominant species on the planet, but the only one who could actually write. Maybe that's why we were able to take the history of ‘breeding,’ an act shared by nearly every other species on the planet since life appeared on Earth, and instead come to the conclusion that ‘sex’ as we would rename it, was actually for our enjoyment. But what does this have to do with abortion, you may ask? How many lives have been snuffed out because we raise our children to think that sex is about their enjoyment. How many people could have been saved or at least not destroyed by changing the way that we teach children about sex and sexuality from like, you know, ‘a thing that you do when you're in love with someone’, ‘A thing you do when you're interested in someone,’ ‘A thing you do in affection’, ‘Athing that you do in passion,’ blah, blah, blah… all the millions of narratives that we have developed as a society, and how many times it leaves out ‘Whoa, wait, what? No. This thing gets done by species all over the planet. And almost all of them do it in much the same way and you are no different and this is how babies get made.’ When you do this. you're going to tell yourself that ‘it's about this, it's about that, it's about the feelings…; The euphoria is the bait. The deed remains what it always is, what it always was, what it always will be; no matter why you do it, that act has to do with reproduction. And it is ruthless in it's ingenious design. And it cares not at all about any lives lost along the way. It is a numbers game and I referenced the casino metaphor of course again, because you know nature can afford to have lives lost. Nature can afford to have as many abortions as it takes because there are billions of us on this planet. Yeah, I just… to me, could abortion be avoided? Teach kids about sex? Well, we've been doing that for a long time and I see this hard push towards making sure like… I understand and don't necessarily want to fall into the fighting for the rights to have abortion. That's 50% of the old tired debate. So what about opening up this third door and people might be like, ‘Well, you're just talking about abstinence?’ It's like no, I'm talking about information. Abstinence is and should always be a choice of people. Because I'm going to tell you something. It never occurred to me that I would just not fuck; that didn't seem like an option. The world was doing it, everyone was fascinated by it; that hasn't changed. Porn is bigger and more booming than ever; it is vast, it is recruiting all of our ignorant youth into it. And we're all acting like it's our idea. Abstinence might be the result of being an informed individual. What if I knew that everything I was doing wasn't really my idea. You know, it's like it's the matrix again, folks. It's ‘which pill do you take?’ What if you knew things that would change your perspective on your world forever? What if children, instead of us brainwashing them into someone, thinking this is all about love? I mean, is it about love when you've lost count of how many partners you've had? Because for a lot of people, that's probably what's going on and, and is it about love when love has come and gone and imploded several times, but you still stick to this narrative. Like, it just , it just covers up how robotic we really are, and how programmed we really are.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
