That any culture could permit the sacrificing of children is hard to fathom. But that such a thing could be considered a sacred act stretches the limits of comprehension. But this is exactly what took place in the ancient apostasy. Could even this facet of the paradigm correspond to the present day? The priests of Baal were the ones who oversaw and participated in the sacrifice of children. Their modern-day equivalents would be those who oversee the killing of unborn children in abortions. The following is a quote from a woman who literally oversaw the killing of tens of thousands of unborn children, Patricia Waird-Bindle:
“Abortion is a major blessing, and a sacrament in the hands of women . . . ” 1
The link of abortion to paganism, as in the sacrifices of Baal, Molech, Artemis, and the other bloody deities of the ancient world, is made clear in the words of feminist author Ginette Paris. In her book, amazingly titled The Sacrament of Abortion , she writes:
“It is not immoral to choose abortion; it is simply another kind of morality, a pagan one.”
She continues:
“Our culture needs new rituals as well as laws to restore abortion to its sacred dimension . . . ”
So what exactly is the sacred dimension that abortion, the killing of one’s child, once possessed and must now be restored to? Lest the connection remain in any way ambiguous, Paris spells it out:
“Abortion is a sacrifice to Artemis. Abortion [is] a sacrament for the gift of life to remain pure.”
Paris was not alone. Other proponents of abortion have spoken of the act as the sending of the slain child to the mother goddess, connecting abortion to the pagan child sacrifices of ancient times—as in the offerings to Baal. And though many advocates of abortion would never use such terminology, they will unwittingly speak of the practice and the right to perform it as sacred.
When Israel’s children were sacrificed on Baal’s altars, the nation deafened its ears to their cries. But God did not. The blood of the innocent would lead to the nation’s judgment. So in the modern case we have likewise lifted up our children on the altars of our apostasy and have likewise deafened our ears to their cries. But even by the most basic measures of morality, the clear and unavoidable truth remains: the killing of an unborn child, the taking of an innocent life, is as wrong and horrific as any human act could be wrong and horrific. And as in ancient times, no amount of words, legislation, or rulings can alter that fact. That we have sanctioned such a thing or have done and said nothing to oppose it is an indictment not only of our present civilization but of all who have sanctioned it or done and said nothing to oppose it.
For all those who have taken part in this or any act spoken of in this chapter, the love of God is greater than any sin, and His mercy, stronger than any guilt. All who seek His forgiveness will find it.
But as for a civilization that wars against the ways of God, sanctions evil, and sacrifices millions of its children on the altars of its transgressions, it stands as did the ancient kingdom—under the shadow of God’s judgment.
