Roe v. Wade is Repealed
On 22 January 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States foisted on the American people one of the most evil government edicts in history. They made child sacrifice, Moloch worship — euphemistically known as “abortion”, or “a woman’s right to choose”, or “women’s reproductive rights” — the law of the land. In one of the worst miscarriages of law, justice, logic, and grammar in history, the Supreme Court found a “right” in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution that anyone capable of reading English knows isn’t there.
Before the Supreme Court’s decision, murdering babies in the womb was legal in some states, and illegal in others. The Supreme Court made it illegal to make Moloch worship illegal. As a result, since 1973, an estimated 65 million American babies have been sacrificed on the feminist altar of “women’s rights”.
On 24 June 2022, the Supreme Court finally reversed itself.
First, let’s get something out of the way. Black-pilled, can’t-win–may-as-well-not-try, doom-and-gloomers will say that it doesn’t matter that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. These are the same black-pilled, can’t-win–may-as-well-not-try, doom-and-gloomers who said that the Supreme Court would never overturn Roe v. Wade. They were wrong then, and they’re wrong now. There’s no reason to believe they’ve grown any wiser. They deserve only to be ignored.

Pretty much everything has a spiritual component. The spiritual component of a thing is almost always its most important component, but most people almost always ignore the spiritual component.
Abortion most definitely contains a spiritual component. Child sacrifice always does. That’s not my opinion. According to Planned Parenthood, “abortion is sacred”.
“Our reproductive health, including abortion care, is sacred. Our ancestors knew what plants and other resources around us were safe for abortion, lactation, fertility, anxiety, arthritis, or any other ailment or health condition we faced. We have always known best how and when to start a family, space our children, how to raise them, and talk to them.
Yes, our children in this realm are sacred. They are sacred because they are the entities into which we pour our time and love because we want to, not because we are forced to. No one should be forced to stay pregnant if they don’t want to. I am here because of abortion — someone down the line of ancestors knew when it was and wasn’t time for expanding their family. My own children are here because of abortion.
Just as my children and yours are sacred, so is our decision to have an abortion.”

Feminists have been referring to abortion as a “sacrament” for years.
In describing the book, The Sacrament of Abortion, by Ginette Paris, Fr. Frank Pavone writes,
“In this short book, the author claims that abortion is a sacred act, a sacrifice to Artemis (known to the Romans as Diana).
Artemis is both a protector of wild animals and a hunter who kills them with deadly aim. How can these contradictory roles be found in the same female deity? The view proposed in this book is that a mother properly cares for life only if she possesses full power over life and death. Death is sometimes preferable. The one who can provide death, in order that one may escape an unfriendly life, is really loving the one who is being killed.
Abortion, then, is seen as “an expression of maternal responsibility and not a failure of maternal love” (p.8). “Artemis stands for the refusal to give life if the gift is not pure and untainted… As Artemis might kill a wounded animal rather than allow it to limp along miserably, so a mother wishes to spare the child a painful destiny” (p. 55).
Artemis, of course, is the same goddess whose worshippers felt so threatened by Paul’s proclamation of the Gospel in Ephesus, where a riot nearly broke out and a vast crowd shouted for two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” (Acts 19:34). The worshippers of Artemis today should likewise feel that their beliefs are threatened, because the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ is that He alone has authority over life and death. Neither the mother, nor the father, nor the state, nor the individual herself, can claim absolute dominion over life. “Nobody lives as his own master, and nobody dies as his own master. While we live, we are responsible to the Lord, and when we die, we die as His servants. Both in life and death, we are the Lord’s” (Rom. 14:7-8).
The fact that some defend abortion as a sacred act should alert us to the depth of the spiritual warfare that is going on. Abortion has never been merely or even primarily a political issue. It is a false religion. When pro-life Christians, for example, pray in front of an abortion mill, it is not simply a matter of pro-life people opposing false medicine. It is the true Church in conflict with a false Church. One former clinic security guard, after being converted, admitted why he was angry at pro-life sidewalk counselors: “You were coming to protest in front of our church. That clinic was where we conducted our worship.”

Again, these are their words, not mine.
The ancient Greek goddess Artemis, the original Strong Independent Woman™. Abortion is a Religion
It should have surprised precisely no one when the Satanic Temple “introduced a ‘satanic abortion ritual’ to argue for a religious exception” to laws restricting abortion.
“The Satanic Temple (TST) said its adherents should be permitted religious exceptions to perform religious abortion rituals in states that have put up barriers to the controversial procedure.
Responding to a leaked Supreme Court opinion draft that would overturn Roe v. Wade, TST said it was committed to protecting “religious abortion access” for its members.
“In states that outlaw abortion but grant exceptions for instances of incest and rape,” TST said in a statement, “members should be permitted a religious exception to perform TST’s religious abortion ritual.”
[…]
The religious organization introduced the “Satanic Abortion Ritual” to argue for a religious exception under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), a 1993 federal law which made it illegal for states to interfere in anyone’s religion without demonstrating a compelling interest.
TST’s argument was that if it regarded abortion as a religious ritual, then the state could not legally intervene or burden patients with prerequisites. The “ritual” argument came amid a series of lawsuits aimed at Missouri where women are, among other things, compelled to read “informed consent” booklets before going through with an abortion.
One of their arguments was that subjecting its members to these requirements violated one of its central tenets: “one’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.”

Abortion is Child Sacrifice
Abortion is satanic, Moloch-worshiping, child sacrifice, whether the people involved know it, or admit to it, or not.
God hates the shedding of innocent blood.
16 These six things the Lord hates,
Proverbs 6:16-17 (NKJV)
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood
God absolutely hates child sacrifice.
21 And you shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
[…]
24 ‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 ‘Therefore you shall keep My ordinance, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God.’”
Leviticus 18:21,24-30 (NKJV)
Abortion Defiles the Land
These five acts that defile the land indicate a societal-wide rejection of the exclusive covenant with YHWH. The shedding of innocent blood defiles a land.
33 So you shall not pollute the land where you are; for blood defiles the land, and no atonement can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it. 34 Therefore do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.
Numbers 35:33-34 (NKJV)
The word defiled appears frequently in the scriptures cited above. Defilement, similar to being unclean, has a spiritual component. A person who is defiled has committed certain acts (i.e. having an abortion) and/or has had certain experiences that cast a spell over one’s spiritual constitution such that they come to possess certain emotional predilections and peculiar affections. It also affects one’s state of mind such that they are predisposed to irrational subjective biases and they cannot think objectively. The end effect is that one becomes more emotional and less rational, more psychotic and less real, more given over to sentiments and less so to faith and education. Essentially, more feeelz, less conviction.
Worse, defilement becomes a permanent part of one’s constitutional identity of the soul, such that one becomes unfit or unable to have certain other experiences in life (i.e. blessings, inner peace, shalom) leading to personal and spiritual maturation.
“Defiling the land” means that the defiling acts affect everyone living in that region, such that everyone becomes empathetic to the psychotic. Leviticus 18:28 indicates that even the natural creation cannot tolerate it. God hates it so much, that He’s destroyed nations and empires because of it.
Cleansing the Land
Recognizing these truths is the first step towards cleansing a land defiled by the innocent blood shed upon it, but it’s only the first step. There’s a hәll of a lot of work left to do. Here’s where we now stand.
This is where the Black-pilled, can’t-win-may-as-well-not-try, doom-and-gloomers will say, “A-ha! You see! It doesn’t matter! Abortion is still legal!”
Allow me to present another chart. This gif demonstrates how dramatically concealed carry laws have changed in the USA since 1986.
Image Source: HNI: Map of Concealed Carry Laws in the U.S. (2022/4/12) Have there been setbacks in gun rights since 1986? Of course there have been. You didn’t expect a smooth ride, did you? Despite those setbacks, the trend is obvious.
“But that’ll never happen with banning abortion!” say the same Black-pilled, can’t-win-may-as-well-not-try, doom-and-gloomers who said the Supreme Court would never overturn Roe v. Wade. Seriously, they only deserve to be ignored.
Expect setbacks, and expect it to take a long time. I’m 46. Most of the Christians who were my age in 1973 and wept over Roe v. Wade died before its reversal. But, despite the setbacks, and the time it takes, expect us to slowly push the darkness back. And not just in the case of abortion.
I see overturning Roe v. Wade like Gideon destroying his town’s idols and daring their pagan gods to do something about it (Judges 6:25-36).
Abortion is the Left’s highest satanic sacrament, but not the only one. Not even close. Other idols will fall. It will take time, but they will fall.
Conclusions
None of this means we’re out of the woods, as far as God’s judgment goes. The USA almost split over slavery. The parallels are eerie. Pro-slavery people denied the humanity of black Africans to justify violating their right to liberty, just as pro-abortion people deny the humanity of babies in the womb to justify violating their right to life. The movement to abolish slavery originated in the church as a consequence of the doctrine of the Imago Dei, just as the movement to abolish abortion originated in the church as a consequence of the doctrine of the Imago Dei. If a similar split happens over abortion, understand that we deserve far worse. As in, Sodom-and-Gomorrah levels of worse.
Our part is to obey God, tear down idols, and leave the consequences to Him.
We rightfully rejoice in this victory, but we understand that this is only one battle in a very long war. We celebrate, and promptly roll up our sleeves and get back to work.
And we might want to consider attending church armed.
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
John 16:33 (NKJV)
