The New York Times has published a glowing article in praise of Christian and Jewish ministers who conduct “blessings” of abortion clinics in America.
A Baptist minister, a Presbyterian pastor, and a Jewish cantor walked quietly through an abortion clinic where they “blessed the exam tables and their stirrups, the boxes of disposable gowns and the cushioned chairs in the recovery room,” the Times notes approvingly in Friday’s article.
“Through a ritual blessing of the year-old clinic,” the piece states, the faith leaders “wanted to show that religion could be a source of support for abortion rights.”
“You all are blessings to those who come to you for care during some of their most vulnerable and sometimes painful moments,” said the Rev. Katey Zeh, an ordained Baptist minister, to staff members gathered in the clinic’s waiting room.
The story failed to mention whether the three also blessed the scissors inserted into the base of the baby’s skull, the saline solution that scalds the child’s flesh, the suction machine used to aspirate the chopped-up body parts, or the forceps used to grab at the baby’s limbs to rip them out, one by one.
During the blessing of the new clinic, 27-year-old Ramsie Monk “wept as one of her colleagues described her grief over the end of legal abortion in West Virginia,” the article states.
“Being in abortion care, you have a target on your back for so many reasons,” Monk said, adding that she stopped going to church because she felt hostility from other members when they learned about her job at the abortion clinic.

This sounds like the opening line of a joke. But no one should be laughing.
Trump’s inauguration speech should address our lack of American born children and say: “All childless cat ladies should go to work and bring one child into the world no matter how screwed up she is. In the same speech he should tell all the churches to step up and offer the kind of support government can’t provide.
DNA the fathers and strongly suggest these women tap into the good gene pools.
They’ll be happy knowing they can’t measure up but then it takes a village.
"Abortion care". A euphemism for baby-killing.
Three wolves in shephard’s clothing went into .......
Exactly which Baptist denomination would that be?
I knew the answer to that before I went digging, and sure enough ... as always, it turns out to be the "American Baptist" denom.
This is a far left wing mockery of a church, very tiny in numbers. I've noticed decades ago that whenever any left wing cause is seeking "cover" for their evil deeds from "religious authorities," they invariably dredge up pretty much the same list of alleged Christians, to invite to their photo op or to their "public letter addressed to..." signing.
And that would be at least one each of:
The ABC is extremely useful to provide a figleaf to any Leftist cause dujour, because people who don't pay close attention think "Gosh! Even conservative Christians such as Baptists are on board with this!" Just because of the word "Baptist" in their name, people conflate them with the average Baptist in the US (most of whom are Southern Baptists), thus viewing them as conservatives, which could not be further from the truth!
Satanic!
