The Abortion Religion: or, the baby isn’t really dead

Last week, pro-life media outlets broke the story of a pro-abortion children’s book entitled Sister Apple, Sister Pig. The lead character in the book is a little boy who is happy about the fact that his sister was aborted, because “If you kept my sister, you would be tired, and sad, and mad!”

A set of supernatural beliefs which justify abortion on the ground that the victim of an abortion isn’t really dead.

Did I feel sad? Yes. Do I regret it? No! Because I know that the spirit I named Mariah will go on to a woman who is ready for her.

The baby isn’t really dead; she’s just become a spirit named Mariah who will reincarnated as another woman’s baby.

The Abortion Religion uses Christianity as well. Late-term abortionist Curtis Boyd, who was once a Baptist minister, prays over his victims, asking “that the spirit of this pregnancy returns to God with love and understanding.” The baby isn’t really dead; she’s just been returned to God.

And so it falls upon me, as someone with no supernatural beliefs, to look like a jerk by pointing out the obvious: the baby is dead. Abortion killed her, and it was permanent.

If you regret an abortion and believe that you will be reunited with your aborted child in the afterlife, I hope that belief brings you comfort. Truly I do. I have no quarrel with peaceful religious people.

But the moment religious beliefs are used to justify violence toward a human being, I have a duty to speak up. And when abortion supporters blather on about pro-lifers “imposing their religion,” while themselves ignoring basic scientific facts about preborn life and adhering to the Abortion Religion, you’d better believe I am going to call that out.
