Woman Builds Altar to Celebrate Sacrificing Her Baby in Abortion

Abortion activists are now literally building altars dedicated to sacrificing their unborn babies in abortions.

Drew Hernandez, a conservative commentator with FRONTLINES and Turning Point USA, uncovered a disturbing “DIY” video on YouTube of a woman explaining how to build an abortion altar at home.

“A woman teaches how to build an altar for a post abortion, which includes a container for the remains of the baby after being aborted and the abortion pills on the altar, she ends the DIY video by kneeling before the altar,” Hernandez wrote, linking to the video.

In the video, a woman talks viewers through building “an altar for your mifepristone + misoprostol abortion.” Both are drugs taken together to abort unborn babies in the first trimester. Last year, the Biden administration began allowing the abortion drugs to be sold through the mail without any direct medical supervision. Now, women can abort their unborn babies at home without ever seeing a doctor.

The woman claims building an abortion altar is a “cathartic” experience that provides women with a place to meditate and think deeply about aborting their unborn babies at home.

“It’s a really beautiful way to just give reference to the experience and hold the experience in a really sacred way,” she says.

On a small table, the woman places a lit candle, crystals, a tarot card and an image of the Virgin Mary. At one point, she fans herself and the area around her with incense to “clean the space.” Later, she places a packet of abortion pills on the table to “bless” them, encouraging women to “really put your intention for healing into the pills before you take them.”

Below the altar, she tells women to lay down a red cloth followed by a container for “fetal remains.” This means the dead baby who the woman will give birth to at home on her own after taking the abortion pills.

The woman says the aborted baby’s remains may be saved until its mother finds “a way to properly dispose” of them that “gives reverence and respect and support to this sacred abortion experience.”

After finishing the altar, she tells women to kneel in front of it to “contemplate” the “sacred” abortion experience.

Responding Thursday, Hernandez pointed out that the video is “not satire” and described abortion activists as a “death cult.” Indeed, The Satanic Temple considers killing unborn babies in abortions a religious “ritual” and sues to challenge pro-life laws on religious grounds. A group of self-described Christian, Jewish and Buddhist clergy also recently filed a lawsuit challenging Florida’s 15-week abortion ban on religious grounds.

Nearly 1 million unborn babies are aborted in the United States every year and more than 63 million have been aborted since 1973.

Phoenician child sacrifice.

"The evidence that Phoenicians ritually sacrificed their children comes from four sources. Classical authors and biblical prophets charge the Phoenicians with the practice. Stelae associated with burial urns found at Carthage bear decorations alluding to sacrifice and inscriptions expressing vows to Phoenician deities. Urns buried beneath these stelae contain remains of children (and sometimes of animals) who were cremated as described in the sources or implied by the inscriptions.

Still, some scholars like Dr. Fantar deny that the Phoenicians sacrificed their children. They dismiss the texts as tendentious or misinformed, and they ignore the sacrificial implications of the inscribed stelae. The archaeological evidence, however, especially the bones found inside the burial urns, cannot be so easily explained away.

"Who was sacrificed at Carthage?

As has already been discussed, the urns were usually accompanied by stelae bearing dedications to the deities Tanit and Ba‘al Hammon (Brown 1991: 29; Stager et al. 1984: 45). It appears that child sacrifice at Carthage was largely an upper-class custom resulting from a study conducted on the inscriptions (Stager et al. 1984: 45). Many of the stelae bear the Semitic word mlk, read as mulk, the technical word for a live sacrifice in fulfillment of a Tophet vow. There are three kinds of mulk sacrifices of which two are attested at Carthage (Brown 1991: 29; Stager et al. 1984: 45). The first type is mlk ’mr (mulk ’immor) which refers to the sacrifice of a lamb or kid as a substitute offering for a child. The second is mlk b‘l (mulk ba‘al) which refers to the sacrifice of a ba‘al, the child of a estate-owning or wealthy mercantile family. The final type, not found at Carthage, is mlk ’dm (mulk adam) which refers to the sacrifice of a commoner. The lack of mlk ’dm at Carthage suggests that here the ritual was reserved for the upper-class.)"
