I get it—the whole purpose of pro-abortion sites is to “normalize” abortion, to make it nothing more than a “rite of passage” for women. But when “mainstream” publications, such as the Washington Post, print their most egregious assertions without qualm, you know (if you ever had any doubt) they have descended into shills for the abortion lobby.
Take, for the example, the subhead to one of Michelle Boorstein’s stories in the Washington Post which read “ Americans who see a religious case for abortion access try to shift the narrative.”
“Shift the narrative” and how!
The lead to her account is the story of Rev. Kaeley McEvoy. We learn that a when she began at Westmoreland Congregational in 2018, McEvoy didn’t know if she should tell her congregation that she’d recently had an abortion. She knows her congregation was “liberal,” but not to worry.
McEvoy was already a reproductive rights advocate, and to her the experience wasn’t in conflict with her faith. When the pastor and her then-boyfriend learned in 2016 that she was pregnant, the first place they went was to a cathedral, to pray — and to call doctors’ offices in search of one to do the abortion. Other visitors to the cathedral happened to try to enter the small chapel where McEvoy was on the phone, but her boyfriend turned them away, she remembers, saying “something holy is happening here.”
That’s some inversion. Praying in her church at the same time she is seeking a handy-dandy abortionist is “something holy.” And this “holy” experience didn’t stop in 2018.
In November, McEvoy, a 29-year-old with a melodic preaching cadence, took the high, white pulpit at Westmoreland and said she had “never felt more known and heard and loved by God than when I entered the doors of a Planned Parenthood.” Then last month she addressed a group of Christian abortion access activists meeting in a D.C. church: “Something holy is happening here, friends.”
It’s a lengthy story but the gist is that “liberal” people of faith need to be on the move.
Pro-abortion law Professor Mary Ziegler confides to Boorstein
“ Even for ministers who say: ‘I don’t support abortions, but I can’t condemn people for having them.’ Those people are feeling the need to speak up more because things are coming to a head,” Ziegler said. “It’s easy for a lot of people to talk about what you should do when it’s not illegal. Now states can really punish people. I think for people of faith, ethical and religious arguments will be really central to that. Criminal law is intersecting with questions of morality and faith.”
But, in Boorstein telling, in a sense this is returning to their “roots.”
Many of the new public perspectives in favor of abortion rights are simply giving new voice to old teachings and beliefs that went underground in recent decades as the religious right won the public narrative war. For many, abortion became a black and white issue and the topic was cloaked in shame.
And the new pro-abortion voice and the old pro-abortion voice sing out of the same hymnal: Abortion discussion should be more “nuanced.” It’s “theologically wrong to uniformly choose a fetus over a woman.”
At a gathering of activists, we’re told that “Like SACRED’s [the name of the gathering] curriculum about the biblical story of creation in Genesis as a process with steps — not a light switch moment as to when ‘life’ begins.”
Finally, the big takeaway is that “[Religious advocates for abortion rights] have given up the public square, letting the dominant narrative be based on some readings of Bible verses. And that doesn’t represent real people, real lives, real faith,” said The Rev. Angela Williams, a Presbyterian USA pastor and lead organizer of SACRED.
In some ways, the most important conclusion that Williams wants us to accept is that “a few years ago she considered herself ‘pro-choice’ but was taken aback by people in her seminary who said they were ‘pro-abortion.’”
No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Abortion is “holy” and talk of being “pro-choice” is a cop-out. Indeed, the Rev. McEvoy “never felt more known and heard and loved by God than when I entered the doors of a Planned Parenthood.”
What is God’s thinking when one of his creations is “lovingly” torn apart?
Talk about taking the Lord’s name in vain.
Pray for them.

The idea of elevating abortion to the status of one of the Holy Sacraments defies understanding!

I consider myself a playful prophet. I’m an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ [...]
From Wikipedia:
The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a socially liberal mainline Protestant Christian denomination based in the United States, with historical and confessional roots in the Congregational, Restorationist, Continental Reformed, and Lutheran traditions, and with approximately 4,600 churches and 712,000 members. The UCC is a historical continuation of the General Council of Congregational Christian churches founded under the influence of New England Puritanism. Moreover, it also subsumed the third largest Calvinist group in the country, the German Reformed. Notably, its modern members have theological and socioeconomic stances which are often very different from those of its predecessors.I'd like to see how those "communications" with the Catholics go down!In 2025, Pew Research estimated that 0.4 percent of the U.S. population, or 1 million adult adherents, self-identified with the United Church of Christ.
The UCC maintains full communion with other Protestant denominations, and many of its congregations practice open communion.
The UCC is a member of Christian Churches Together (CCT), an interdenominational fellowship in the United States aimed at strengthening ties between different branches of Christianity. Through the CCT, the United Church of Christ is in communication with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for cooperation towards shared issues, as well as involvement in theological dialogue.
"So Bishop, you folks sprinkle Holy Water on surgical instruments before performing a curettage, too? Abortion is almost a Holy Sacrament, yuh know!"

I am sure she felt the “love” of her god, Satan.

I weep for the babies, but find joy in the fact that these monsters will end the lines forever and rid the gene pool of their perverted DNA
It was 17 years ago that I went on sabbatical from my church in response to pulpit leftism from an interim. During that those six months I wrote a parody song
“Jesus Thinks a Lot Like Me.”
She never felt more loved by God by aborting?
She’d be wise not to tempt God with that blasphemy.

It shows also how mainstream media Amazon is with their associated The Washington BLEEP.
