Religious Leaders Bless Staff and Patients at Local Abortion Clinic, Sing “Hallelujah”

Texas religious leaders gathered Thursday to bless an abortion clinic and its staff as a judge considers whether to allow the state to ban brutal dismemberment abortions on live unborn babies.

The pro-abortion clergy prayed at the Whole Woman’s Health abortion facility in Fort Worth, Texas, blessing its staff and patients, saying prayers and singing “Hallelujah,” according to the Daily Caller.

The Texas abortion chain is one of the groups challenging the state dismemberment abortion ban. It also has a poor reputation for patient health and safety, racking up dozens of health and safety violations in the past decade. They include things like failures to properly sterilize equipment, rusty spots on medical equipment that had the “likelihood of causing infection,” rips in exam tables and more.

Kentina Washington-Leapheart, the director of reproductive justice and sexuality education at the Religious Institute, said they chose to bless this particular abortion clinic because it sees a lot of minority women and women in poverty.

“Women seeking an abortion are largely women of faith. They’re not having an abortion in spite of their faith, it’s in many ways informing the decision they make,” Washington-Leapheart told the Texas Observer. “They have a God-given right to make decisions about their life.”

“There are progressive people of faith, even in Texas,” Washington-Leapheart continued. “We’re trying to say [the extreme right’s] narrative isn’t the only narrative related to faith.”

“When thinking about access, we have to think about how race and class impact access,” she said.

Whole Woman’s Health runs four abortion facilities in Texas and several others in Maryland, Minnesota and Illinois. It also recently applied to open a new abortion facility in Indiana. State inspection reports obtained by Texas Alliance for Life in 2013 and new inspection reports released this fall showed dozens of violations that threatened the health and safety of its patients, including lack of sterilization of abortion instruments, lack of an RN or LVN on staff, rusty suction machines and expired and unlabeled medications.

Earlier this week in court, its the abortion chain’s lawyers argued that abortionists should be allowed to dismember second-trimester, nearly fully formed living unborn babies, tearing them limb from limb while their hearts are beating.

Despite the brutality and life-destroying nature of abortion, some abortion activists have been trying to take over the moral high ground by linking religion to support for abortion. One abortionist even claims his abortion business is a “ministry.”

Progressives like to throw out the word “faith” a lot. It has become a generic term that can include faith in anything, so politicians feel safe using it.

Baal was worshiped as a god, so his followers had faith and religion and clergy.

Humanists claim the high ground of “reason” but they have faith that scientific assumptions are absolutely true. They also have faith that humans are the final decider of morality in this universe.

When a person talks about faith, the question that must be asked is “faith in what or who?” These pro-abortion clergy place their faith in worldly things.

It’s not. All gods demand human sacrifices. Only Jesus Christ, who is God, became the sacrifice to satisfy his perfect justice.

Oh man this has been going on for a while too! Is why I post it to religion so you guys may see it! Un-freaking-believeable.

There was an abortion doctor who would “baptize” dead babies for his clients. Am thinking this was Tiller but not sure. Did a search but all can find is stuff on his death, thanks to google. It’s a sick world out there and getting worse.

Am about to post an older article that I ran across just to show you how bad some “Christian” clergy are.

In a respect, aren’t the abortionists no different than the Hitler butchers who ‘experimented’ on live people and had no problem killing the unborn.

Of course that was in the name of annihilation which - I AM JUST GUESSING HERE - was ‘wrong’ but genocide in the form of ‘birth control’ is OK?

Wasn’t one of the ‘promises’ when limited abortions were ‘allowed’ that BIRTH CONTROL was not to come into the picture.

Of course when it comes to the abortion of blacks/minorities it is ‘justified’ in the minds of the elitists that ‘at least they won’t be on welfare etc’ and I have always ‘marveled’ at the fact that AS A RULE the pro abortionists ‘love’ the giveaway programs while the ANTI abortionists would just as soon do away with all the giveaway programs.

Dial Margaret Sanger up and let her know her plan is REALLY taking shape.

OH...to the abortionists:

Ask the SHAKERS about the lack of reproduction.
Better hurry as there are only TWO left, one 54 and one in her late 70s and they aren’t accepting any ‘new members’, as the ‘official register book’ closed in 1957.

Apparently those wannabees in the villages are not now or ever were.
