Iowa Democrats Praying to Moloch for Abortion

 

First MOLOCH, horrid King besmear’d with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents tears,
Though, for the noyse of Drums and Timbrels loud,
Their children’s cries unheard that passed through fire
To his grim Idol. Him the AMMONITE
Worshipt in RABBA and her watry Plain,
In ARGOB and in BASAN, to the stream
Of utmost ARNON. Nor content with such
Audacious neighbourhood, the wisest heart
Of SOLOMON he led by fraud to build
His Temple right against the Temple of God
On that opprobrious Hill, and made his Grove
The pleasant Vally of HINNOM, TOPHET thence
And black GEHENNA call’d, the Type of Hell.”

John Milton, Paradise Lost

Hattip to Ed Morrissey at Hot Air.  As I have frequently said, the one non-negotiable right for most modern day Democrats is the right to kill their kids:

Iowa Democrat gubernatorial candidates Jack Hatch and Tyler Olson joined 50 pro-abortion activists in an extended prayer for abortion rights during a rally at the State Capitol on Wednesday. The noon event was meant to fire-up liberals prior to an afternoon hearing across the street conducted by the Iowa Board of Medicine regarding tele-med abortions.

They made the unusual decision, for Democrats, to begin the event with a prayer. This was likely in response to a prayer vigil being conducted by pro-life activists at the same time nearby.

Des Moines activist Midge Slater took the podium and spent five and a half minutes thanking God for abortion rights, abortion doctors and taxpayer funding for abortions. She also referred to the decision to have an abortion as “a blessing”.

During the entire prayer, State Senator Jack Hatch and Rep. Tyler Olson, both of whom are running for governor, kept their heads bowed and eyes closed, joining in the group prayer.

Go here to read the rest.  How any Catholic, how any decent man or woman, could have anything to do with what now calls itself the Democrat party is beyond me.

The Sacrilege! The Truth is not in them. Mocking God. The arrogance of the Father of Lies.
Obama also prayed for Planned Parenthood.
California Planned Parenthood had a 40 days of prayer.
Many churches are now asking God to bless homosexual “marriage”.
The devil is real and these people in the Democratic party and on the Left around the world don’t know who they are messing with.
Just like all the people who are happily cheering on the young people snared up in the homosexual lifestyle as they move gaily on to Hell. The devil is hate with silk gloves on, but those gloves will come off.

The cheerers and leftist apologists, along with the fickle feckless world are going to turn on my son and all the others who have believed that the left loves them.
Most of the left don’t know they are forwarding the Lies of the Devil, not much interest really in spiritual warfare, mostly interested in what feels or seems good here and now. They are useful fools for Lucifer.
They will continue the bravado of “praying” trying to justify their choices. The results of sin are death. God is Love and He will triumph, Judgment will be personal and individual in the next life, but here on earth we are all on the winnowing floor together. We have to endure the repercussions and righteous judgment together.

This is why I detest, abhor, despise, loathe, and hold in utter contempt and disdain godless liberal progressivism. The Democrats have not changed one iota from the time when they supported the enslavement of the black man except to become more perverse, perverted, and pernicious. The depth of depravity these people embrace knows no bounds.

They will knock to gain entrance into Gods Kingdom….but they will not be allowed in. The Lord God Almighty will say that He does not recognize them.
They will wonder at it all ….
In the end they will find home in the blood stained rooms that they helped to create…. And they will suffer forever. Forever!

Moloch was a fertility god, and they threw their children into the fire to ensure their “prosperity”. Much like how the Dems continue to worship Moloch in this day and age.

It is true!

Rainbow promise will be kept, however a cleansing by fire might be coming.
All we can do is pray, fast and live our faith in the fury of a disobedient culture.

Last night I was doing research for one of my MBA classes on two different health care companies, one Catholic and the other not. The Catholic system, on its web page about its Catholic identity, explained that they don’t offer RU-486, but they will offer the morning after pill and contraception. And they’ll do an abortion if it’s “to save the life of the mother.” The FDA label on the morning after pill notes that it might work by preventing implantation, and that up to 10% of pregnancies will be ectopic (to be expected if uterine implantation is prevented).

They just made some “little” compromises with Moloch. For “compassionate reasons”. But there are no small compromises with Moloch. When they’ve thrown the baby into the fire, they’ve bought into Moloch’s lies and the baby is not coming back no matter how compassionate they think they were being to the parents whose baby they helped kill while everyone held their eyes shut so they could pretend they weren’t really doing it. Then they wait expectantly, not for the birth of a baby, but for some measure of prosperity to come now that they have compassionately eliminated the little burden inside and all of the expenses and inconveniences that come with the baby, just like their own parents bore so that they might have life but don’t want to return to another little life.

I believe Nancy Pelosi started the idea when she referred to Planned Parenthood Clinics as sacred ground. Who is the patron saint of these evil people? That abortionist butcher in Philadelphia, Dr. Gosnell? I hope that the Iowa bishop(s) will direct his priests to denounce this travesty from every pulpit in the state at Sunday Mass.
There is such a thing as righteous anger and it is an appropriate response to this blasphemy. Even better is more prayer, more rosaries. To paraphrase a powerful prayer: St. Michael the Archangel, defend the unborn in this battle, be their protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil……

Liberalism is selfishness and narcissism wrapped in self-righteousness. And narcissism is the root to all evil, it is the primary personality trait of those who follow Satan. Without empathy, the narcissist chooses only to satisfy their own base needs, to indulge in self-gratification no matter the pain and suffering that inflicts on others. Listening to Midge Slater, you can literally feel the evil emanating from this woman.

I am so sad that a baby is thought as a throw away object by the Democratic Party. to actually thank God for abortion is like mocking God. Maybe pray should be left out if their conferences. I would hate to stand before God and tell him I celebrated the murdering of the weakest person on earth. This is SAD!!

It took 400 yrs of slavery for the Middle Passage to claim 2 million african souls.
It took african/american souls 40 yrs to ABORT 4 times as many of their own children.
Molech indeed.

My heart breaks every time I think of the thousands of children being torn from their wombs. I saw an video ultrasound of a child, still in the womb, backing away from the forceps just before it ripped his legs from it’s tiny body.

“Moloch was a fertility god, and they threw their children into the fire to insure their ‘prosperity'”

These people, of course, worship the IN-fertility god to insure their “prosperity,” not realizing that ultimately it will destroy their prosperity… as Russia and even China are beginning to realize.

When St. Michael asked the question; “Who is like unto God?” a third of the heavenly angels sunk into the pit…lead by Lucifer. How is it that the Left doesn’t see themselves as the ” I choose life or death for my baby…I choose my sexual identity….playing God is Very risky business.
Who is like unto God???

In Abraham, all generations are blessed. With the human sacrifice of Isaac, God denounced all human sacrifice as a choice an individual makes in free will for himself alone, justified only be the saving of another human being. Abraham offered up Isaac, whom God accepted. And with Isaac, all of Abraham’s descendants, as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sands of the beach, were offered up to God. God accepted Abraham’s offering in LIFE, that is, God does not accept offerings of death imposed by another.
Moloch, another word for infanticide, the murder of an infant, is the abuse of fire and metal. All idolatry is the abuse of the free will of the endowed sovereign human being.
“Many churches are now asking God to bless homosexual “marriage”.” God does not bless fraud, perjury or any half truth. Marriage is defined as the consummation of the marital act. Everything else is heresy, half truth. The virtue of chastity being violated is hardly a petition to God. Homosexual behavior is not adultery, nor fornication, nor sexual. Homosexual behavior is assault and battery of another individual, a crime. Crime may not be consented to, or witnessed without violation of the human being’s immortal, rational soul.

A lesson for the Democrats – indeed, for all of us – from Jeremiah chapter 7 (BTW, God always does the same thing in the same way because God always does the right thing in the right way; time to buckle up!):

Jeremiah Proclaims God’s Judgment on the Nation

7 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah, you that enter these gates to worship the Lord. 3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and let me dwell with you in this place. 4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.”

5 For if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly act justly one with another, 6 if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt, 7 then I will dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors forever and ever.

8 Here you are, trusting in deceptive words to no avail. 9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, “We are safe!”—only to go on doing all these abominations? 11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your sight? You know, I too am watching, says the Lord. 12 Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these things, says the Lord, and when I spoke to you persistently, you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer, 14 therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your ancestors, just what I did to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, just as I cast out all your kinsfolk, all the offspring of Ephraim.

The People’s Disobedience

16 As for you, do not pray for this people, do not raise a cry or prayer on their behalf, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you. 17 Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger. 19 Is it I whom they provoke? says the Lord. Is it not themselves, to their own hurt? 20 Therefore thus says the Lord God: My anger and my wrath shall be poured out on this place, on human beings and animals, on the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; it will burn and not be quenched.

21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. 22 For in the day that I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23 But this command I gave them, “Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk only in the way that I command you, so that it may be well with you.” 24 Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but, in the stubbornness of their evil will, they walked in their own counsels, and looked backward rather than forward. 25 From the day that your ancestors came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day; 26 yet they did not listen to me, or pay attention, but they stiffened their necks. They did worse than their ancestors did.

27 So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you. 28 You shall say to them: This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips.

29 Cut off your hair and throw it away;
raise a lamentation on the bare heights,
for the Lord has rejected and forsaken
the generation that provoked his wrath.

30 For the people of Judah have done evil in my sight, says the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house that is called by my name, defiling it. 31 And they go on building the high place[d] of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire—which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind. 32 Therefore, the days are surely coming, says the Lord, when it will no more be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of Slaughter: for they will bury in Topheth until there is no more room. 33 The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the animals of the earth; and no one will frighten them away. 34 And I will bring to an end the sound of mirth and gladness, the voice of the bride and bridegroom in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for the land shall become a waste.

My cousin Jenny Condon is the director of “Inner Visions” prolife clinic in Des Moines. She has been at the forefront of fighting for the unborn and in her little clinic alone, I think they have saved over a hundred babies in the Des Moines area in the last year and a half. It is very dangerous being at the forefront of the crazed opposition. She has been harassed, tormented, threatened, the building has been damaged. All to save the life of the unborn. Don’t they have anything better to do?

Jenny C’s heroic witness to Truth reminds me of this promise; “Whatsoever you do for the least of my people that I do unto you….”

For the Left that promise doesn’t have the same assurances, rather a grim future at best.

Abortion Prayer
Dear Father or Mother or Genderless Creative Force that made all the universe and all life. Please wrap your mind around this prayer as I unpack it.
Please bless all who perform abortions: the doctors and authorized nurses and midwives and maintenance and mailroom personal. Please guide their hands and eyes as they follow the YouTube demonstrations.
Please free our young, and almost young, women from the tyranny of their paternalistic religions that would dictate to them that they must be damned and punished with babies. Lord please free them to date and skate, and text and tweet and chill. And Lord please grant them quality chill time from all the dating and texting.
Could somebody silence that screaming baby back there? Somebody? Is there no Day Care for that brat? See girls, this is what I mean. Do you want one of those?
And now back to our very reverent prayer. And Lord please free our young men, and young at heart, men from the dictates of their paternalistic religions that would dictate to them that they must be knights in shining armor who are only created to protect and provide for fair maidens and children. Free them so that they too can be fair maidens and pamper themselves and worry about their hair and weight and shape and get facials and manicures too. And of course to date and skate and text and tweet. And please, O Lord, grant them quality chill time too.
And I leave you with this: And let them all always remember that “She came so that YOU may have life and have it more abundantly.”
And so be it. In the name of the Father and the Mother and the Son and the Daughter and the Wholly Genderless Spirit. Amen. A-women.

Prophecies being revealed, especially since the 20th century; the devil residing in holy places. Maybe the Catholic population should never have fallen for the fashion of not kneeling to our God, and taking shortcuts instead of loving to worship.

It doesn’t take much to kill life.
A little money, poor sense of humor and a selfish attitude.

Pray for conversions.

The opposition to Life, innocent life is blatant exaltation of self. The liar has his commandments:

I Thou shall have many Gods
II Thou shall honor thyself above all
others.

III Thou shall kill

IV Thou shall give false witness

V Thou shall do what is pleasing to
thyself regardless of whom it effects.

VI Thou shall steal

VII Thou shall covet neighbors goods
and spouses.

VIII Thou shall call good evil and
evil good.

IX Thou shall disrespect their elders,
their parents and themselves.

X. Thou shall dwell in filth and
embrace the darkness.

We faithful Christians will pray for the conversions of those who abide in the liars commandments.
Peace for All….born and unborn!

Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, pro-nature or pro-prophylactic, sometimes the choice can come down to whether or not you would work in a place.
10 Reasons, Well Actually 14, Why I Could Never Work in an Abortion Clinic:

1.Nowadays a workplace without hand sanitizers is a real negative.
2.Call me squeamish but jars of pickled baby’s feet in the refrigerator is a real turnoff.
3.I’m allergic to cats.
4.I’m not one of those tech-savvy geeks but I think getting operating instructions from YouTube is kind of weird.
5.A strep and staph-rich environment would play havoc with my sinuses.
6.I’m a very tolerant person but I think a frozen baby next to the ice cube tray would just push my buttons.
7.In my humble opinion recliners with bloody blankets on them in post op just sounds unprofessional.
8.I’m terrified of rats.
9.I’m not one of those “neat freaks” but blood on the walls is just too much.
10. I hear that in California when they are busy, busy they make the mail room guy or anybody else do the abortions, and I hate vacuuming.
11. I’m no medical expert but once the baby starts crying it’s too late to abort it, isn’t it?
12. I don’t want to be one of those dummies who sits in church every Sunday and doesn’t go up for Communion.
13. I really like people, even teeny tiny people.
14. I’m pretty sure they don’t have a chapel.
