Abortion as a "sacrament" ?

One thing can be said about Satan, and that is the fact that he has been showing himself much  more openly these days. From performing at the Grammys, and "after school Satan clubs", to this from Samantha Kamman at The Christian Post,

The Satanic Temple, an organization that claims abortion bans violate religious freedom, has announced plans to operate a telehealth abortion clinic in New Mexico. 

"TST Health's first telehealth clinic will provide medication for safe abortions through the mail for members and for those who wish to perform TST's Abortion Ritual...

According to a news release, the clinic will be named "The Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic," referring to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Alito, who authored the 2022 decision ruling that the U.S. Constitution doesn't contain a right to abortion. 

As CP reported, the group made similar claims following the passage of the 2021 Texas heartbeat bill, which banned most abortions in the state after six weeks gestation. TST argued that the law infringes on the group's religious freedom by imposing an "undue burden" on its "satanic abortion ritual." 

In a letter at the time to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Matthew A. Kezhaya, a TST attorney, asked for a religious exemption to access the abortion-inducing drugs mifepristone and misoprostol without a prescription as part of its "sacramental" abortion ritual. 

"TST's membership uses these products in a sacramental setting. The Satanic Abortion Ritual is a sacrament which surrounds and includes the abortive act. It is designed to combat feelings of guilt, doubt, and shame and to empower the member to assert or reassert power and control over their own mind and body. The REMS prescription requirement substantially interferes with the Satanic Abortion Ritual because the Government impedes the members' access to the medication involved in the ritual," the letter noted.

Indeed to some, abortion is a sacred thing. Think back to Episcopal priest Katherine Ragsdale who considered abortion to be a blessing and praised a slain abortionist as a saint and martyr. Remember the priests and ministers blessing abortion clinics? I recall the the two Episcopal priests who came up with a liturgy for abortion years ago. Not to be outdone, Methodist Rev. M Jade Kaiser (they/them) has an updated prayer which in part reads,

"God pulls us in every direction that serves love and life.

Sometimes that direction is abortion.

When a woman

or a trans man

or a nonbinary person with a uterus

becomes pregnant

and must decide how best

to foster life:

Their own,

and that of their family,

and that of this earth breaking under our burdens,

God knows, for many, there are such few “choices”

available in this

racist

classist

(cis)sexist system..." 

etc, etc, etc... 

Read the rest at "Enfleshed" if you dare. 

Satan's presence is becoming clearer by the day. 

Pray that these people come to Jesus.
