It's a cult and a business.
In any event, some background...
Hana Eltringham Whitfield: "
There were secretive flights to New York from the ship by Hubbard aides and others for abortions either condoned or ordered by Hubbard... Women who became pregnant did not want to be sent off the ship so they chose, in some cases, to have the abortions and, in some cases, Hubbard ordered them to have abortions".
Interviewer: "
So the issue of forced abortions is not new?..."
Hana: "
No, it's not new. It existed on board the Royal Scotman."
This is from 1:48 - 3:06, in part four of a six part interview with Hana Eltringham Whitfield.
In this segment, Hana also discusses the death of Susan Meister and the cover up by Hubbard. Also discussed are the scandalous conditions in the children's nursery at the Fort Harrison (Flag Land Base) in 1975, 1976, etc.

From the 1952 Philadelphia Doctorate Course:
"We mustn't mention this because, God help us, there goes the moral code. Penicillin took out the disease level and now... [a person] can take a couple of beams of energy.... and terminate a pregnancy. Nothing wild or forceful or upsetting or anything like that. Just make sure the tube opens. It's very simple. There are muscles and so forth that contract and expand at a certain period every month, and that sort of thing."
Gleefully, Hubbard continued:
"
Pregnancies that have been as much as three months advanced have been terminated that way... Isn't this fascinating? So you've got something like birth control sitting right there in theta clearing... It's just deadly. One, two, three!"
1952, 'PDC' lecture. Hubbard explains how wonderful it is that OTs can now induce abortions:

And, from a precept from 'The Way to Happiness' "moral code" booklet, written, in 1980, as PR cover while Mrs. Hubbard was being sent to federal prison, and her husband was in hiding after the court-ordered exposure of his secret criminal teachings and activities:
On the topic of sex, in 'TWTH', one precept advises against promiscuity, explaining that,
"A 'feeling of guilt' is no where near as sharp as ground glass in the soup."
Note that "
feeling of guilt" is in quotes.

And on the family:
"
The GE [Genetic Entity/sub human]
is a family man. The GE is lost without the family. It's very strange but Homo Sap [sic] is a family unit. The GE is built on that basis...
"
And your thetan, by the way, can much more easily go into a group. Families are not good groups."
From 10 December 1952, PDC lecture series.
So much of what is occurring in Scientology today is an echo of what happened - under Hubbard - in the past.

More from video #4 of Hana, beginning at 3:50:
"
There was Susan Meister's so-called suicide... and there was her body being shipped back to the United States in a sealed coffin because of a cholera scare in Morocco.
"
Well, there was no cholera scare in Morocco.
"
There was simply a PR - what was simply a cover-up, ordered by Hubbard because he did not want Susan's family in the United States to be able to open the casket and to look at the body, and to have their own autopsy done, and come to their own conclusions as to how she died.
"
And to prevent that from happening he [Hubbard] dreamed up a cholera scare... managed to convince the... authorities to seal the casket...
"
And it was just a cover-up.
"
Twenty years later, ... the father, Mr. Meister, called Jerry and myself, his voice breaking, pleading for help. He was still searching for information on exactly what happened to his daughter."

The 12 February 1967 Policy Letter 'Admin Know-How, the Responsibility of Leaders' -a.k.a. The Bolivar Policy Letter:
"[The power asks] 'What are those dead bodies doing at the door'. And if you [the subordinate] are clever, you never let it be known HE [the power] killed them - that weakens you and also hurts the power source. 'Well, boss about all those dead bodies, nobody at all will suppose you did it. She over there, those pink legs sticking out, didn't like me'. 'Well', he'll say if he really is a power, 'Why are you bothering me with it if it's done and you did it. Where's my blue ink?...
"...always push power in the direction of anyone on whose power you depend. It may be more money for the power, or more ease, or a snarling defense of the power to the critic, or even the dull thud of one of his enemies in the dark, or the glorious blaze of a whole enemy camp as a birthday surprise...
"...Real powers are developed by tight conspiracies of this kind... and if they are right and also manage their man [the power] and keep him from collapsing from overwork, bad temper or bad data, a kind of juggernaut builds up."
