Warren Hern is a <\/span>self-described<\/span><\/a> \u201clate term abortion specialist\u201d \u2014 even as abortion industry stalwarts like Planned Parenthood claim that “late-term abortion” is a meaningless phrase made up by pro-lifers<\/a> just to confuse people. But more interesting is the fact that, unlike many abortionists who claim their motivation is to ‘help women,’ Hern seems to actually hate human beings and their very existence. And he’s not ashamed to say it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hern, a founding member of the National Abortion Federation, is a population control enthusiast who has long <\/span>claimed<\/span><\/a> that \u201chumankind is a global cancer,\u201d but now he has published a <\/span>book<\/span><\/a> expounding upon that misanthropic hypothesis, titled, \u201cHomo Ecophagus: A Deep Diagnosis to Save the Earth.\u201d The term <\/span>\u201cHomo ecophagus<\/em>\u201d means “the man who devours the ecosystem.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Several of Hern’s other writings published to his website include titles along the theme of viewing mankind as a planetary cancer, such as: “How many times has the human population doubled? Comparisons with cancer,” “Humankind is like a global cancer,” “Is human culture carcinogenic for uncontrolled population growth and ecological destruction?,” and “Urban Malignancy \u2013 Similarity in the fractal dimensions of urban morphology and malignant neoplasms.” He writes<\/a> in one essay:<\/span><\/p>\n

Cancers spread by two means: extensive invasion and by metastasis, or distant colonization. Human communities, once established, tend to invade and destroy all adjacent ecosystems without limits. Because of prior limitations of technology and sheer population size, and because of cultural traditions that respected natural ecosystems, this was not always so, but it appears now to be occurring routinely. <\/em><\/p>\n

There is no ecosystem on the planet that is not already destroyed, invaded, or immediately threatened in some manner by the human species….<\/em><\/p>\n

It should be quite clear based on his own writings that Hern’s actions in committing abortions are not motivated by any sort of desire to help<\/em> or empower<\/em> human beings but instead in a desire to rid the world of them<\/em>, because he views them as a blight on the planet.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Salon used the occasion of Hern’s book release as an opportunity to publish a fawning <\/span>interview<\/span><\/a> with him. The article’s author, <\/span>Troy Farah<\/span><\/a>, describes Hern as \u201ca Colorado-based physician\u201d (actual physicians preserve life \u2013 Hern destroys it) without ever noting that he is, in fact, an abortionist by trade \u2014 he specializes<\/em> in it, by his own words.<\/span><\/p>\n

The article contains a lot of alarmist rhetoric about so-called climate change, and how humans are basically ruining everything. \u201cClimatologists and scientists have been sounding the alarm for decades: Global temperatures and planetary homeostasis are spiraling out of control, and we\u2019re to blame,\u201d writes Farah, who appears to share Hern’s philosophies about humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

But like the fact of Hern\u2019s actual occupation, the author fails to note that the <\/span>substance<\/span><\/a> of the alarms over the past 50+ years has changed radically over time, and that virtually all of the doomsday predictions have failed to materialize. What\u2019s more, a growing number of scientists <\/span>deny<\/span><\/a> the existence of any climate emergency whatsoever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t stop Hern from claiming that human cultural adaptations, including \u201clanguage and speech and mathematics\u201d as well as \u201cconstructing shelters \u2026 and having medical care\u201d are \u201cmalignant maladaptations\u201d that \u201cdo not have survival value.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

This is ironic, since his version of medicine has no<\/strong> \u201csurvival value\u201d \u2013 indeed, if survival occurs after one of Hern\u2019s abortion procedures, it is deemed a failure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
