"Abortion is a Blessing" (New Dean of Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge)
Via Media ^ | 3/30/2009 | Amy Welborn

Posted on 04/01/2009 11:24:13 AM PDT by mojito

The Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge has unanimously elected a new dean, Dr. Katherine Ragsdale.

Chris Johnson at the Midwest Conservative Journal posts:

How radically pro-abortion is Katie Rags? This radically pro-abortion:

"And when a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, respectful relationship; has every option open to her; decides she does not wish to bear a child; and has access to a safe, affordable abortion - there is not a tragedy in sight -- only blessing. The ability to enjoy God's good gift of sexuality without compromising one's education, life's work, or ability to put to use God's gifts and call is simply blessing.

These are the two things I want you, please, to remember - abortion is a blessing

and our work is not done. Let me hear you say it: abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done.

I want to thank all of you who protect this blessing - who do this work every day: the health care providers, doctors, nurses, technicians, receptionists, who put your lives on the line to care for others (you are heroes -- in my eyes, you are saints); the escorts and the activists; the lobbyists and the clinic defenders; all of you. You're engaged in holy work."

Sorry, Ms. Ragsdale, that's not a blessing. THIS is a blessing:

My son, a survivor of a crisis pregnancy in a country where abortions outnumber live births to this day.

To anyone who would even think of considering such a statement, I offer Gianna Jessen, and this simply awesome video:

I’m making an educated guess this woman is also an LPGA and WNBA fan (if you get my drift.) The Party of Death marches on.

Probably owns a Subaru Forrester as well...

“So, the life of the baby (a human being) is worth less than an occupation, education or abilities? Aren’t these the same people who are anti-death penalty and always speak out for the looniest laws that ‘would even save one life’? Something isn’t adding up....”

People who favor capital punishment dont view themselves as potentially being subject to it...

I’m not opposed to executing murderers or even pediphiles....as committing such a crime is well outside of my morals ,mindset and world view...

Liberals on the other hand....

This “creature” is the face of what our nation has become....totally devoid of morals or conscience, calling abortion a blessing, evil/good...wrong/right. Sodom and Gomorrah could not have been any more perverted when God destroyed it.

These churches no longer worship the God of the bible. I bet they will bow down with no problem to the anti-christ

And, of course, a lesbian

There is quite a striking concordance between playing for the other team and support of abortion.

It's actually remarkable, and casts putting from the rough in a whole new light.

If anything, you would imagine gays, on average, to be not as interested in this issue as straights.

But that is far from the case. It is a deep, burning passion for gay rights activists.

Strange world, huh?

Perversion seeks out perversion, evil seeks evil. Makes perfect sense to me that gays would be very adamant in their support of abortion.

Justifying their belief system pretty much requires them to do Satan’s bidding.

There is no one that can biblically justify leftist/liberal ideology.

Here’s just ONE refutation:
2 Cor 9:7
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Murder is a blessing. When you can relieve those hostile, aggressive feelings by removing those who frustrate you, and make demands upon you, that is a blessing.

When you can kill large numbers of people of a group that annoys you, or make you uncomfortable, like Jews, blacks, whites, Christians, gays, the French, why you’ve made Gaia’s great Earth that much better for the deserving people like yourself.

That really is what she’s saying, now isn’t it?

Things are only going to get worse, as God withdraws His hand from us.

Let me give a probable background for this person -

probably molested and impregnated as a young person, had an abortion, knows what really happened, turned to homosexuality in reaction to her molestation, and is pro-abortion in order to justify her participation in the killing of a baby.
