Giggling ghouls cheer right to murder babies

Recently, news reports showed a happy group of women surrounding Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy signing a new law. They were clapping and laughing when she signed the newly passed state legislation into law. Their euphoria was apparent; what were they so thrilled about? This new Massachusetts law makes it legal to abort babies through the full nine months of pregnancy for any reason; babies can be killed right up to the moment of birth!!!

Do what?! That’s right. These giggling ghouls were giddy that they can now legally murder babies right up to the moment of birth! One minute they can kill a baby legally, but the next minute when the baby is born it is murder. Seriously, does that minute matter? It’s infanticide regardless. It’s plain, raw evil!

Premature babies in the last trimester are often viable outside the womb. It’s now common for babies born prematurely to survive and thrive with proper care. Modern medicine even performs surgery on babies in the womb to repair defects; they are treated as a viable life because those babies are alive – they are individual persons even before they are born. In many states, killing a pregnant woman results in a double homicide charge for killing two people. So, why do feminists insist they must have the right to kill another person?!

Who carries a baby to term and at the last minute decides to kill it?! My goodness, at nine months why not just give it up for adoption? Why must they kill it?! It’s about power and a warped perspective of patriarchy. Instead of embracing God’s blessing of giving life, feminists howl pregnancy and children are simply oppression by men.

They are resisting biology and rebelling against God. Feminists consider pregnancy a burden and an illness to be treated. If they don’t want the baby, they believe they are entitled to end another’s life for their personal convenience. There is nothing more cruel and depraved than sacrificing an innocent life because that life is inconvenient. They are trying to circumvent the natural order ordained by God. It’s disturbing and grotesque.

Ultimately, feminists like any leftist group are determined to destroy the traditional family. Feminists will say being a mother and wife is bondage, but that’s a flimsy excuse to dismantle the basic building block of healthy communities: strong families.

Always ready to excuse or justify killing children, feminists are rushing to insert themselves in the heart-breaking case of Lindsey Clancy who strangled her three children. Clancy admitted to murdering them but claims she was suffering some psychotic episode due to severe postpartum depression, mis-prescribed psychiatric drugs, or a combination thereof. Her trial is underway to hopefully determine the truth, but feminists are insisting it’s her husband’s fault, its society’s fault, or this is due to the patriarchy. Instead of letting the courts sort out this tragedy, feminists are trying to exploit it as political cudgel to hammer the traditional family to pieces.

Despite the landmark Supreme Court decision in Dobbs versus Jackson which returned the abortion issue to the states and most red states essentially prohibited abortion, abortion is more available and prevalent in blue states. As Massachusetts has just shown, leftists have abandoned any modicum of morality to codify the right to massacre the innocent.

The darkness got darker in blue states, but there was a recent ray of light. Having contracted a surrogate mother, a California couple demanded she abort the baby when they learned the baby had a heart defect albeit treatable. Already in the third trimester, the surrogate mother, Mckenna West, refused. She fled from Alaska to Texas where she knew state law would protect the unborn baby. Due to her courage and true compassion, the baby was born in Dallas. Praise God for this surrogate mother who faced down wickedness and saved an innocent life.

Abortion is plain and simple murder, but butchering babies right up until they are born is cruel, gruesome, and unconscionable. It is utterly unacceptable for a Christian society, but these cackling women in Massachusetts are despicable and should be shunned. They are worse than the ancient god, Moloch.

People sacrificed their infants in the arms of a red hot heated metallic image of Moloch. They played loud music to drown out the screams of babies being burned to death, but they sacrificed their children to gain some favor from the false god. Feminists sacrifice their children for nothing more than personal convenience and they slaughter their babies in the womb where they can’t see the baby struggling to escape death and hear the painful anguish. They are immoral cowards and a danger to American society.

The wicked will always be with us, but we should not give them any credence nor tolerate them in polite society. Murderers should not be accepted as a differing opinion; they should be ostracized and held accountable for their crimes. Pray that America will continue striving to protect innocent unborn children. It is our Christian duty!

“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish” (Matthew 18:14).
