There are many ways to perform an abortion: pills that expel the baby’s body, suction vacuums, injected drugs that cause cardiac arrest. But there is only one result: death. This death is worth celebrating, according to one abortion activist. And, she says, God is still “cool” with her.
Viva Ruiz, an artist-in-residence for abortion group Shout Your Abortion [SYA], recently created a music video for her “Thank God for Abortion Anthem.” The video, released on October 13, stars Ruiz as an “abortion pope” inside a church, complete with a choir and twerking dancers. In response to her efforts, media outlets from Jezebel to Bust magazine applauded Ruiz.
Ruiz isn’t new to abortion activism: she has served as a panelist for Planned Parenthood, participated in abortion art exhibitions in New York City, and founded her own group, “Thank God for Abortion” [TGFA], in 2015.
In an SYA video earlier this year, Ruiz said that her “divinely guided” project began because “I was upset about people being offended by this idea of God being all right with abortion when I know that it is true that God is all right with abortion.”
Raised Catholic and having had multiple abortions herself, Ruiz infuses personal experience into her work and “repurposes Catholic ritual and dogma to bring spirituality and faith to people having and providing abortions,” according to SYA.
That’s exactly what Ruiz tries – and fails – to do with her latest project: “the world's first Reggaeton pro-abortion pop video.”
“It’s about my body,” Ruiz chants with a choir in her music video. “We demand sovereignty. Abortion rights, safe and free. Legal, safe, and free.”
The video opens with “antis,” or pro-lifers. Actors posing as pro-life Americans squawk indistinguishable sounds while holding signs with messages like “I am the pro-hate generation” and “God hates you.”
That changes when they are enticed by abortion dancers to enter a church, where the altar cloth proclaims, “Thank God for Abortion.” The dancers, wearing rompers reading “Legal Safe Free,” lead the pro-lifers to “pope” Ruiz, who appears with a papal mitre, crucifix, and vestments also reading, “Thank God for Abortion.”
“God is cool with me,” Ruiz sings, adding “f*** the state they can’t take it” and “f*** the church, they only fake it.”
Amidst twerking dancers, she later performs an “exorcism” on the pro-lifers, moaning “God oh God” and “the power of Christ compels me” until the spirit of “patriarchy” escapes them. The video ends as a big party, with everyone dancing together in the pews.
“TGFA is bringing joyful abortion to the masses and this is the soundtrack,” the song description reads. Ruiz adds in the YouTube description that “TGFA is a spiritual mission to affirm the sanctity of abortion having people.”
“I have had 2 abortions, am Latinx, queer, fluid, and Christian,” she added. “We know that God loves us and we are blessed. Blocking access to abortion is racist, is classist, is ableist, is gender based violence.”
Some in the media agreed with her message: abortion isn’t violent, but blocking it is.
Women’s magazine Bust celebrated the anthem as a song “we need when taking a break from the Amy Coney Barrett hearings.” Writer Olivia Simmonds recommended the song as a “palate cleanser” and a “powerful display of solidarity with the Pro-Chice [sic] movement.” And if listeners purchased the song, their money would directly support an abortion fund, she added.
Paper Magazine ran the headline “You Can Be Religious and Believe in Abortion” on October 21. Ruiz, writer Jhoni Jacson urged, “confronts the elephant in the room that is religion in the fight for reproductive justice.”
On October 13, women’s site Jezebel highlighted the “Vision of God That Wants People to Access Abortion.” Staff writer Shannon Melero covered the anthem that “extols the gospel of reproductive rights for all and the sanctity of bodies who have gone through an abortion.”
She reported Ruiz saying that “People who have had abortions are more holy” and that “Abortion providers are doing Jesus-work.”
Ruiz “is on a mission to reclaim the god concept,” she wrote.
“[The religious right] and their [anti-abortion stance] hinge on the pregnant person being invisible,” Ruiz said. Instead, she wanted to “shine a light on the pregnant person” because “That’s who God loves, no matter what.”
Yes, God infinitely loves every human being. But it’s because of this that abortion – the destruction of a human person in the womb who is equally beloved by God – constitutes a grave offense according to Church teaching. Even then, Christian and pro-life ministries offer forgiveness and healing to post-abortive women, with ministries like Rachel’s Vineyard and Silent No More Awareness. They also offer resources to pregnant women and moms in need.
Ruiz gets the pro-life movement wrong and, when it comes to abortion, attacks the wrong demons.
Super evil and sick.
From Hell, Dr Mengele applauds Viva Ruiz’s efforts.
If the Democrats get their way, this blasphemy will be the only thing allowed in whatever is left of “church.” Maybe they will do away with baptism and celebrate abortions instead. Their god Baal demands it.
She’s a slave of Satan but not smart enough to know it.
Luke 13:3
If you kill two of your own babies, fiercely justifying your actions is your alternative to acknowledging a crushing burden of guilt which must be worked through before you can live with yourself again. The cultural Bolsheviks should not be amplifying or cashing in on this woman’s torment.
wtf is wrong with these people. Nothing joyful about abortions.
I’m a hardass but even to me that video is just sick.
I had an idea for capital punishment. Instead of e-chair, injection, gas, hanging, etc...an abortion chamber. The condemned would be locked inside a steel cylinder. from one side of the cylinder a grab/cut “probe” come into the the chamber and dismember the person little by little until the chamber is empty. Can you imagine the horror?
Oooohh, I like it. Good imagery.
Im sure women who have had abortions and are now late in life are humming this tune
Do these ghouls realize that Planned Parenthood and their founder is ANTI-CHOICE and if a woman WANTS to have a baby, tough beans?
NO MORE BABIES (Pathe newsreel 1947)

Do these women tell their living children, “I killed your brother(s)/sister(s)”?
There are women who kill healthy babies because they are pregnant with healthy twins and didn’t want “that many”. What do they say to the one who lived? “You had a 50-50 chance, you’d better make me feel I chose the right one!”
Mentally ill, angry and unhappy people masquerading as happy.
>>“It’s about my body,” Ruiz chants with a choir in her music video. “We demand sovereignty. Hydroxychloroquine, safe and free. Legal, safe, and free.”
If it were about Trump pills state attorney generals and governors would be calling for her head and socialist media would be banning her.
>>Ruiz “is on a mission to reclaim the god concept,” she wrote.
She’s no Christian. She’s an anti-Christ televagelist. And she thinks she can get rich and powerful on Earth with this message.
>>“I have had 2 abortions, am Latinx, queer, fluid, and Christian,” she added
Another confessed homofascist. They are venemently anti-Christian. Their hate speech is celebrated, however. No twitter bans.
IF she was as outspoken against Islam she would be.
And if she’s “really queer” how does she explain her “unplanned pregnancies”?
These sad, sick individuals have a very, VERY rude awakening coming one day. They will stand before Almighty G-d and He will spell it out for them just how evil they are. They will have no excuse.
Romans 1:
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 1:
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians 3:18-20
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Far from the the only thing she gets wrong.
And she herself was allowed to be born.

Some people don’t want to work slowly toward Hell. They want to go on Hell Express.
