But...but aren't Conservatives the party of "life"?
Of course, there have been other "parties" who believed in life. Like Napoleon III. In 1869 – Pope Pius IX forbids all abortions in exchange for France’s Napoleon III acknowledging papal infallibility.
France’s population experienced a sharp decrease over the previous 60 years. Due to the number of wars France participated in and the loss of life of young men something had to be done to regenerate young soldiers. What better way than to forbid abortions ensuring an amply supply of young men to send to the slaughter of war?
