It’s one of the most sacrilegious acts a religious leader could perform, but it’s happening again — this time in Columbus, Ohio. Tonight, the the so-called Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice is planning a “blessing” of a local abortion clinic.
This appears to be a response to the closing ceremony of the 40 Days for Life campaign where pro-life advocates pray outside abortion facilities worldwide and offer practical pregnancy help and support for women.
Originally, the blessing was supposed to take place at a Planned Parenthood abortion center. Although, the Planned Parenthood event has now been taken off their website, RCRC’s Facebook page now has an event for a blessing during the same time at a different abortion facility: Your Choice Healthcare.
Pro-life advocate Mark Harrington, who alerted LifeNews to the event, believes that Planned Parenthood may have canceled the blessing of their facility after it received national attention and requested that the blessing be moved to another abortion clinic.
“There will still be a pro-life event outside Planned Parenthood. Created Equal will also raise awareness about how abortion kills innocent human beings during that time,” he said.
“At these combined locations, abortionists kill babies by chemical abortion and dismemberment abortion up to 19 weeks, 6 days. To suggest that God advocates for the shedding of innocent blood is blasphemous. Abortion is a frontal attack on those made in His image – human beings. Authentic ministers of God oppose the killing of the preborn, they don’t promote it,” Harrington said.
The pro-abortion gathering is called Holy Ground: Blessing the Sacred Space of Decision. The first event description read:
During this clinic blessing, participants will gather with local faith leaders and guests to ask for God’s blessing upon Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio’s East Columbus Surgical facility, the abortion providers and staff, and all those who pass through the center.
In celebration of conscience and moral decision making, this event will include interfaith blessings, prayers, and testimonies about receiving and providing abortion care. This clinic blessing will create space for progressive voices of faith to speak boldly in support of comprehensive reproductive health care, especially abortion.
Harrington said: “If you never believed abortion was child sacrifice, think again. These priests of child-killing may not be offering children as a human sacrifice to Molech, a Canaanite deity associated with the practice of child sacrifice, but instead are offering them to a modern false idol called ‘reproductive choice,” he added.
This is not the first time religious leaders will have blessed an abortion clinic, it’s a practice that has occurred with more regularity.
I wish the article had mentioned the wicked pastors and churches by name.
Great minds. See above.
Lot tried to argue on the behalf of Sodom and Gomorrah. And God had a conversation about them....
I’m doing the same here.
Indeed. “If there be 10 righteous...”. I ponder that question everyday.
“I don’t know. I don’t know why God does not strike them down.”
The question is, what are WE doing about it? There are groups of people who are working against abortion...... and perhaps we ought to join up with them and help.
While my view on the subject has a little bit of nuance, the RCRC are a foul abomination.
I’ll clarify...life of the mother or child..ok. Incest...tbh I’m still on the fence. As birth control...NO...control yourself; plenty of infertile couples would be happy to raise those kids. What we have now is state-sponsored genocide.
An iron of correction.
The King is enroute.
Iron rod I meant...whoops
“Can only guess this is what Jesus meant by “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do””
No, that is not what Jesus had in mind. These fools have had decades to review the concept, in the full light of knowledge.
Vengeance is mine Sayers the Lord.
Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord.
Yep!
And your point is?
Not my point..the Lord said it.
Of course the Lord said it, but why did you post it to me?
Was a more relevant verse then the one you quoted?
“Was a more relevant verse then the one you quoted?”
I haven’t quoted a verse.
Oops..wrong poster.
God will NOT bless this!
Deuteronomy 27:25
Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Isaiah 1:15
When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
Isaiah 59:7
Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction lie in their wake.
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
Well, gag.
But all ministers of the Lord ought to ask for the blessing that the place would just fail in its purpose.
