Why Democrats are Ramping Up Abortion Efforts
By Philip Cottraux
In the ancient city of Karnak is the Ashkelon Wall, an Egyptian record of the military victories of Ramses II. The wall is divided into sections but the largest primarily focuses on a treaty with the Hittite empire. On either side are epic depictions of Ramses’ armies victorious in battle; the siege of Ashkelon is most intriguing. As the Egyptians surrounded the city, its citizens committed the ultimate act of desperation, throwing their own children over the defensive wall in a massive act of child-sacrifice. This misguided practice seems to have arisen in the Bronze Age during famine, droughts, or invasion. People thought they could save themselves by slaughtering their own firstborn in a show of supreme devotion to the gods.
For years, Democrats and Republicans have been at a relative stalemate over abortion. One side asserts it is murder, the other insists that it’s a woman’s right. But even when Republicans control both the presidency and congress, they tend to make no effort to overturn it. So far, Democrats have successfully kept it in place as is. Meanwhile, tens of millions of abortions have taken place with no end in sight.
But suddenly, one side just broke the gridlock. Even while the Republicans control the presidency and the Senate, Democrats have split the dam and abortion is flooding forth with an unstoppable blood lust. It started with New York making it legal up to the day of delivery. Now this is breaking out all over the country. City officials cheered when the measure was passed. New York City lit itself pink in celebration
But the pretense that this has anything to do with a “woman’s right to choose” is falling away. Young women terminate pregnancies with pride, then go to parties and posting selfies wearing “I had an abortion” T-shirts. It’s become trendy. #ShoutYourAbortion is sweeping social media. The left has even crossed the line to include born children. Now if the baby somehow survives, doctors are allowed to kill it. No one is even trying to argue that this isn’t infanticide anymore. Democrats are ramping up efforts to butcher every child possible from coast to coast, wearing baby blood like gruesome warpaint.
What’s happening?
Much has been said in Christian circles comparing modern abortion with ancient Molech sacrifices. I said as much in one of the first blogs I ever wrote (click here). The Canaanites of the Old Testament would throw their own babies onto burning altars, then eat them in cannibalistic feasts in honor of this cow idol. God punished Israel for allowing such a horror-show to enter their own nation. The argument is that abortion is a modern-day manifestation of this practice, only instead of Molech the god we’re sacrificing to is self. People willingly murder their unborn children in the name of convenience.
But something different’s going on with these latest developments.
I think we can look to history and human psychology for an explanation, which is why I brought up the Ashkelon wall. This sudden explosion of abortion has to be viewed in the light of recent setbacks for the Democrat party. Irrational emotions come from the same part of the brain, the amygdala (which controls our fight-or-flight responses). The amygdala stimulates fear and causes the kidneys to release adrenaline before information has time to reach the frontal cortex, where logic and reason take place. In the wild, this can be a useful survival mechanism; if you run across a predator, you want to be able to run as fast as you can before having time to think about it.
But because of this, our reactions to defeats can be irrational, as it was at Ashkelon. In theory, their child sacrifices were desperate attempts to get the gods to intervene. But just like “women’s rights,” this is really more of an excuse. Something ancient in human DNA has been resurrected.
Now as I’ve blogged about in the past, I am totally against Hitler comparisons. I can’t stand it when liberals compare conservatives to the Nazis or the KKK, and I want to be consistent. So this is not meant to compare the Democrats to the Nazis, but to use the Nazis as another historical example to prove my point. As the Allies were closing in on Germany, Hitler could have bought himself time and aided the war effort by putting the “final solution” on hold. The Holocaust was consuming considerable resources. Yet as defeat looked inevitable, the Nazis actually ramped it up, throwing more prisoners into concentration camps than ever as the killing reached its pinnacle. It’s almost as if, knowing they would soon be defeated, they wanted to slaughter every Jew possible in a last act of defiance to the world.
This also explains one of the most disturbing moments from Hitler’s inner circle. Many high-ranking Nazis committed suicide in the bunker as Berlin fell. But Joseph Goebbels’ wife Magda took it a step further; as their six children slept, she poisoned them all with cyanide tablets before she and Goebbels killed themselves. This goes against every instinct a mother should have; it would be like a mama grizzly willingly surrendering her cubs to slaughter.
Not to mention the kamikaze pilots. As the United States got closer and closer to the Japanese mainland, in an act of desperation the empire enlisted children to fly planes but didn’t teach them how to land. These child-suicide missions were among of the most catastrophic forces US battleships had to deal with in the war‘s closing days.
What would possess people to do this to their own children? Yet it seems to be a consistent psychological reflex coming from the same part of the brain from different examples throughout history. And this is exactly why the Democrats have ramped up abortion efforts in recent months. Something dark has been awakened in their subconscious.
It boils down to slavish devotion to one’s ideology. Magda Goebbels was so fanatically devoted to Nazism, she’d rather murder her children than let them grow up in a world without it. The American left has convinced themselves Trump is the return of Hitler. Everything they’ve tried to stop him has failed. He won the election. He’s passed sweeping reforms. He’s withstood investigations. The Russia investigation has turned up little. They’re realizing that he cannot be impeached. But rather than come to terms with this, they’re on a murderous rampage to kill as many babies as possible. They’d rather those children be slaughtered than live in a world where Trump is president.
They have believed media’s lies that Trump will usher in a new age of darkness, that soon America will resemble Nazi Germany. Concentration camps will be everywhere as the skies turn gray. They think the only thing they can do about it now is butcher the future generation. Then, in their twisted minds, Trump will have no one to rule over. It will be their final act of defiance as their light disappears from the world, leaving what they imagine will be a post-apocalyptic wasteland where Trump-the-dictator is all alone.
To them, every infant massacred is another victory for which they can shake their fists at the sky and shout “Take that!”
Ironically, in the name of saving America from “Hitler,” they’ve slaughtered far more innocents than the real Hitler could have ever dreamed. We’re seeing the results of a political ideology that gained too much power, was allowed to have it for too long, and now can’t cope with any erosion of that power. It’s turned into a monster feeding an insatiable appetite for human flesh as it devours baby after baby. Even if we could stop it now, whatever’s at the end of this tunnel won’t be good, as we see the bloody ruins of America‘s future generations all around us.
Me as well.
I now have no illusions that things in America and the world will continue to get progressively worse: day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year.
I have come to the realization that hoping people will "wake up" and things will return to a more moral time is sheer fantasy.
No way IMHO that things will ever morally get better.
This snowball turned into an avalanche that is so big only Christ can stop it.
He told us what would happen and what things would be like and here we are. Keep praying!
It goes against everything that makes us human. The mindset that could lead someone to murder their own children is alien to me.
The practice seems to have arisen during the Bronze Age, but wasn’t unique to the ancient Near East, as there’s also evidence of it in Meso-America around the same time. Truly one of humanity’s darkest legacies. And clear evidence of Satan’s ability to twist people’s minds. God abhorred this practice back then, and it’s sad that I should have to say this, but still does today.
For the record, I have no problem with conservation. Wanting to protect bald eagles is a perfectly noble cause. But when they’re given priority over human life, our priorities seriously are seriously out of wack.
[ Families are getting ripped apart ]
Yes, that will come.
Matthew 10:35-37 King James Version
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
I think the Lord will always have His remnant, the 7,000 who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Lord, let me be part of that!!!!!
That's good. The demonic should be alien to the believer.
They are fearful.
Their faith is slipping away.
Where are the 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV folks any more??
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
We are already in a Genesis 19:9 world!!
I still see them in Church. There are many still out there - I’m just referring to those living in the world and of the world. Those without faith.
Yep, been that way for some time too.
Amen - me too!
Aye; there be the problem.
We need them OUT of church and onto the highways and byways; COMPELING them to come in!!
