The Left Is Hunting for Scapegoats, and Using Rhetoric of Extermination
The Stream ^ | 28-March-2018 | John Zmirak

Posted on 03/28/2018 11:09:21 AM PDT by ptsal

John Zmirak Is the existence of pro-life Americans a “crime against women”? Is a woman “at her most powerful” when she lies down for a doctor to kill her unborn baby? That’s what feminist author and abortionist Merle Hoffman thinks. In case you dismiss her as a crank, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman appears to agree with her. He joined her in a lawsuit aimed at ordinary Americans who stand on sidewalks outside clinics urging women not to choose abortion.

Does such language strike you as creepy, even menacing? Is it troubling that one of America’s largest states is on board with such sentiments, and targeting free speech? It should.

A coherent ideology goads such angry, escalating attacks. It explains why left-wing state governments get behind them. And why you can count on quick cooperation between advocates of wide, divergent causes. In the recent anti-gun march, Planned Parenthood was a sponsor. At anti-Israel events, you’re certain to meet some vegans. At climate change panic rallies, you’ll meet LGBT activists. In part that’s just trendsniffers who like to network. But something deeper underlies it.

I’ve already written here that the now dominant leftist academic movement called Intersectionalism works much like a religion. It explains why evil exists and offers false redemption. The sect gathers believers for passionate, and sometimes frenzied rituals. (Like last week’s gun-grabbing rally.) It identifies who’s orthodox, and tries to silence heretics. Most importantly, it performs its own sacrifices.

Is it scapegoat season already?

Left-wing Ideology, like Islam, acts like a sort of religion — and these can be seen as a sort of death cult — but they are both really social/political strategies for global conquest.

It’s the standard Newspeak rhetoric of the left:

Down is up

Up is down

Man is woman

Woman is man

Opposing abortion is a hate-crime

Slavery is freedom.

etc. is etc.

If the abortion lobby goes this route, they’ll find much more grass roots opposition than they ever thought possible.

They are all animated by the same spirit, the spirit of antichrist. Politics is just a proxy for spiritual warfare.

Recognize what foretells the mark of the beast.
The mark on the forehead will be for how you think.
The mark on the hand is all about your actions because of what you think.
It’s coming and is here already if you we open our eyes and recognize it.
There is no defining event or device about it, it is a cunning incremental process that will work well on the blind and the deceived.
God is, and always will be about the individuals heart condition toward His Son.

In other words, these women can’t or won’t control their bodies without requiring the murders of even their own children.

A truly ghoulish existence for all involved in this nightmare. How they wallow in the depths of its depravity.

“Is a woman “at her most powerful” when she lies down for a doctor to kill her unborn baby? “

Very simply, no.

Look at the parallel: the devil has never created anything; the work of his hands is always and only - destruction.

God is in the business of creation; and given like we are created in the image of God, a woman is at her most powerful when she gives birth - to another generation.

Abortion is evil. It is a sacrifice to the god of self.
