Christmas is almost upon us, that magical time of year when the Christian faithful can look forward to attending seasonally themed Holy Masses centering upon such traditional, comforting festive fare as the miraculous Annunciation, Immaculate Conception, and Virgin Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ…and now, thanks to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the equally sacred occasion of His Divine Abortion, too.
On 20 December 2013, Eloïse Bouton, a young Frenchwoman associated with the radical global feminist movement Femen, interrupted a carol service in Paris’ La Madeleine Church dressed as a topless parody of the Virgin Mary, with the phrase “344e salope,” or “344th slut,” painted across her stomach. This was in reference to an open letter issued by 343 self-described French “sluts” who publicly admitted to having had an abortion in 1971, back when the procedure was still illegal.
Abortion became legalized in France from 1975 onward, but this was still not enough for the 344th slut, who objected to Catholicism’s continued disapproval of the practice (an opinion the Church, of course, had no possible lawful ability to actually enforce…). Accordingly, Bouton spread her arms wide in the shape of a cross and most righteously pissed before the altar, tearing up slabs of bloody ox liver representing a stillborn fetus as she did so, thus crudely simulating the abortion of Jesus Christ in an obscene inversion of his birth 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem.

If only they would protest islam the same way.
Excellent point.
We need more mental hospitals than we need Starbucks.
Jesus’ position on abortion was clear: When Mary and Elizabeth were near one another, both pregnant, John the Baptist leapt while still in his mother’s womb when he heard the voice of Mary, who was pregnant with Jesus.
If Jesus was in utero as was His cousin, and they reacted to one another’s presence, He clearly showed us the value of life in the womb and that they should be protected.
To say that Jesus would support abortion (Warnock, democrats) would be saying that Jesus would have been fine with Mary aborting Him and Elizabeth aborting John the Baptist.
There is no alternative Christian position. Human morals should err on the side of life, regardless of religion.
To say that Jesus would support abortion ...I am convinced people who say that do not really believe it. It is a dishonest ploy by people who don't care what Jesus said anyway.
Amen! Unfortunately, we're not arguing against atheism as much as we're arguing against hedonism. Hedonists today are just like hedonists in the 1,600 years in which the Bible books were written. They justify anything, even sacrificing babies, as long as it's in some way associated with sex. It literally is its own religion.
That's why showing them scans of fully developed babies in the womb don't convince them to stop their abortion mania. That's why they leave born, abortion-surviving babies alone to die unattended and still call it "just a clump of cells" that "feel no pain". It's part of their religion. That's why it's cool by them to groom small kids. Their religion demands that they not only justify, but even celebrate any behavior they or anybody else does that can be even loosely associated with someone's sexual desires.
What, you don’t think the God who commanded “Thou shalt not kill” wouldn’t create a life just so the mother could kill it? /s
Great post. And to extend it a little further, it explains why we have a society that (via government “redistribution”) constantly spends beyond its means (without the excuse of war or other great necessity) to live high on the hog. As a result the survivors of the abortion holocaust are saddled with hopeless debt slavery before they are even born. But the hedonists don’t care what they are doing to these surviving children.
