Lilith: the barren, sex-crazed, child-killing mascot of the abortion movement
LifeSite News ^ | 11/29/2010 | Kathleen Gilbert

November 29, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Every once in a while, one stumbles upon a terrifying level of honesty among abortion supporters. Normally, the truth is something that refreshes us when we come upon it - not so in this realm.

Such is the nomenclature of what appears to be a moderately successful group dedicated solely to providing low-income women with abortion money, called the Lilith Fund.

The Texas-based group explains its name on its website as follows: “Lilith was the first woman created by God, as Adam’s wife and equal. Because Lilith refused to be subservient or submissive, she was sent away from Eden.”

This is a somewhat accurate presentation of Lilith’s bio; however, it’s certainly not the whole story. Here’s how the Hebrew legend, as first described in the Alphabet of Ben Sira of the 8th-10th century, ends: after Lilith flew away (and was not sent) from Eden, God punished her by dictating that one hundred of her own demon children would be killed each day. She responds by asserting her perpetual desire to sicken and kill newborn infants.

The abortion industry’s poster girl if ever there was one.

In fact, the primordial population control expert bears a significance far beyond Hebrew culture. The recognition of Lilith, Lilit, or Lilitu as a demoness of night or wind traces an etymological path through the earliest civilizations, believed first to appear as early as 4000 BC in Sumer. “Lilith” may even be mentioned in the Bible, Isaiah 34:14: after God has reduced Edom to an uninhabitable waste, “the lilith … find[s] for herself a place to rest” there. In Assyrian, Babylonian, and Greek mythology, Lilith emerged as a strong symbol of perverse barrenness, a desert-dwelling monster with breasts devoid of milk, that terrified nearby mothers by strangling and devouring their children.

Unsurprisingly, as Adam’s supposed original wife, Lilith is touted in Wiccan and occult circles to this day as the “first Eve” or “first mother” over and above Eve herself and the New Eve, Mary, whose selfless openness to life represents Lilith’s pure inverse.

In her Greco-Roman incarnation, Lilith (Lamia in Latin) was an even more fascinating - and insightful - symbol of the total corruption of female fertility. There we learn the child-eating Lamia actually suffers unbearable grief from the sight of her own dead babies, a grief made eternal because Zeus had forced her eyes to remain open permanently. In a gesture of pity, Zeus allowed Lamia occasionally to find relief by pulling her eyeballs out of their sockets. (Well, that was nice.)

The bizarre myth, an uncanny portrait of post-abortive grief, echoes in testimonies from the women of Silent No More Awareness depicting decades of being torn with obsessive anguish over their lost little ones.

One might wonder what would possess the Lilith Fund to follow through with such a cheery mascot. On its Facebook page earlier this year, the group eerily invited fans to express their devotion to abortion by posting the phrase “I am meeting Lilith” as their status, “if you have had an abortion or know someone who’s had an abortion.”

The Fund notes that old Lil is today “the feminist icon of the free-spirited strong woman” - and in fact, the revoltingly barren, sex-crazed, child-killing monster has found favor in modern “feminist theology” as a symbol of rebellion against patriarchal repression. Other pro-abortion feminist organizations have snapped up the name as well. (One of several such blogs, The Lilith Plan, helps women self-abort and even provides gruesome instructions for an illegal do-it-yourself D&C abortion.)

It seems some abortioneers are at least honest enough to openly associate with the child-killing demon who is even more well-fed in our modern world than she was 6000 years ago. Even if relatively few, it’s a good reminder that some know exactly what it means to be “pro-choice.”

Please tell me you don’t believe your post 16.

None of that is true, and the view you posted completely negates the need for Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.

But, but, I thought abortion was to prevent those back alley abortions????

This is truly Satanic at its core.

Leftists have a “life journey” of theft, cruelty, and murder.

They will continue to prey on the innocent until they are all rounded up, shot, and tossed into a burning pit.

You’re talking about a person that isn’t in the Bible and never existed.

I know you get intellectual fulfillment out of runnning the same college-freshman-bull-session “serious question” about God over and over again in every thread that is remotely connected to the Almighty, but could you at least stick to stuff that’s in His word?

Seriously, epic humor fail.

And their web master's editing skills leave much to be desired, I just noticed they let slip, "helping our family more forward".

You would think that if they're going to solicit funds to advance their death obsession, they would at least get the spelling right.

The ultimate Origianl Sin, is the sin of dependance on others. We see this sin of dependance in full swing today don’t we?

If Jesus died on the cross to clense our “original sin” the one from the garden of eden, then why do people even get baptised to cleanse the original sin in the first place if it was already cleared 2,000 years ago? Seems redundant, doesn’t it? Jesus died for all of our sins on the cross, past sins and future sins as well.

A culture of death and a culture of forcing it on everyone around them gestapo style. Their ‘freedom’ always entails enslaving the rest of us into their way of life.

It’s hard for them to do editing when they have this uncontrollable lust for child blood.

The story of the garden is about the perlis of being dependant on others for a living. When Adam and Eve were in the garden they were wholy dependant on God like children are to their parents or welfare recipients are to the government. When they learned enough for themselves, by eating the fruit of knowledge, God kicked them out of the garden for their own good because they were able to take care of themselves. To have them stay in the garden would be like these modern day children who never leave home and end up living their parent’s basement, it is not good for them.

Um, no. Not even close.

Here's what God's word says:

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” --Genesis 1:26-28

The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. --Genesis 2:15

The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” --Genesis 2:18 (What was she helping him with if he was a welfare case?)

They had work they were expected to do. They were not dependent on God in a "welfare" sense, they were dependent on Him spiritually as we all should be, and in a close relationship with Him.

To turn the account of the Fall of Man into a parable about kids piling up the pizza boxes in Mom's basement is a pretty serious case of mishandling God's word. It's about the beginning of human evil, not some spoiled kids with a lack of motivation.

Eve ate the apple, but Adam was not much better, she was beguiled by satan, he was a coward and blamed his wife. He did not take responsibility for his action either and that’s what got them kicked out...Eve was not totally responsible for losing Eden.. I wonder what would have happened if Adam said NO.

Doncha just love the way Adam blames Eve, and then GOD (!), for the whole apple thing?

Evil is started by spoiled kids or adults with childish tendancies, and helped by people with serious lack of motivation of doing their own work, as evil is fed on a diet of complacancy and spoiled kids.
