This Pro-Choice news has been cycling for about a week. I read it, I sighed, I teared up, then I tucked it away, slept on it for a few nights, and it still tugged at my soul today…so I’ve decided I need to share my two cents about this topic.
Here we are at the end of 2019, and extreme Liberal progressivism has infiltrated nearly every element of America. Far left-liberalism is holding its grip on media, marketing, branding, journalism, indoctrination/education, politics, and yes, it’s now even taking a grip on religion. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Ragsdale is an Episcopal priest who has been outspoken about abortion rights, LGBTQ equality, and public policy issues affecting women and families throughout her career. She has testified before the U.S. Congress as well as numerous state legislatures about the importance of abortion access and was a featured speaker at the 2004 March for Women’s Lives in Washington, DC. Prior to joining NAF, she served for 17 years (9 of them as chair) on the national board of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Rev. Ragsdale has preached about how abortion is a blessing and has been active in clinic defense work and other activities to support abortion providers for more than 35 years.
“It has been a great privilege to lead this organization for the last year and work alongside the incredible and dedicated NAF Board, staff, and membership,” said Ragsdale. “Abortion providers are some of my personal heroes and modern-day saints. It is an honor to be able to serve and support NAF members as they provide compassionate health care amid increasing attacks and challenges.”
Let that sink in. Sleep on it and then think about it again — a lesbian Episcopal priest, who calls abortionists modern-day saints.
“For decades, Katherine Ragsdale, a false prophet, has been trying to put religious vestments on child-killing,” Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life and president of the National Pro-Life Religious Council, told LifeSiteNews. “She led the ‘Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights’ (now the ‘Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice’), which actually provides rites of blessing for parents about to kill their children, and for the facilities in which the blood is shed.”
That group also provides “Scripture studies that attempt to say exactly the opposite of what Scripture says about what God thinks of the shedding of innocent blood,” explained Pavone.
Fr. Pavone said it’s not surprising that NAF chose Ragsdale to lead it.
“It actually reveals one of the greatest weaknesses of the abortion industry: science is not on their side, logic is not on their side, and history is not on their side,” he explained. “They ran out of arguments a long time ago to try to justify abortion. So now, all they have left is to disguise it in ‘spirituality.’”
Whatever force this is, it has made its way into religion and is not focused on only one or two denominations. This force doesn’t care about a denomination; it cares about successful infiltration, all the way to the top.
Dr. Taylor Marshall released a new book earlier this year. Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within — I read it in two days flat; I couldn’t put it down. When I finished it, I took immense pause as I closed the book realizing how our world has been slowly infiltrated with a constant drip of moral decay, and then I asked myself, “what are we to do?”
Yes, over the years, humanity has always faced moral decay – we’re human – but historically, moral decay has been met with the eternal balance found in our places of worship, and healing, via traditional and non-traditional forms of theocracy.
Your opinion on the why behind moral decline may vary, but over the past decade, it feels like a substantial portion of the fall began to erode when the LGBTQ movement, when paired with far-left extremes, opened the flood gates. It has now surged from the balance of a slowly dripping faucet of “COEXIST” — a cultural balance that no longer exists — to one that now runs continuously and with no shut-off valve. A force that demands everyone’s thought jump into the same boat, or you’re left to drown in the dark depths of “non-inclusion.” There are currently over a hundred genders, according to some people, and the boundaries don’t stop there. Some people now believe that pedophilia is a sexual orientation, and that “love has no age.”
I don’t have the answers, but I do have plenty of questions. I’ve tried to wrap my mind around the moment in time when things shifted out of balance. Was it when Caitlyn Jenner became Woman of The Year, gracing the cover of Glamour Magazine? Was it the Obama legacy and transformation of Transgender restrooms? Was it Hollywood’s influence and/or the media’s sexualization of children as they fawned over “famous” Drag Queen kids? What force was it that pushed “Love is love,” into the pedophilia normalization of “Love has no age?” How is it that some schools in this country can legally be teaching comprehensive sexual education to children as early as Kindergarten? And what on earth got us to the point of thinking full-term abortion and infanticide is normal and okay and a woman’s constitutional right? Most importantly, why is it that if you disagree with any or all of this, you run the risk of being accused of hate speech?
Whatever force pushed this moral decay into its current state has now infiltrated the church – and even theocracy is no longer sacred. What power on this earth has convinced these “Women (and Men) of God” to believe and preach that abortion is now something to be blessed?
Watch this short clip from a Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and Planned Parenthood Interfaith Unity Ceremony from 2017:
“I’m here today standing alongside my fellow clergymen and clergywomen to say: thank God for abortion providers,” said Rev. Harry Knox, president and CEO of Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) which supports abortion rights and what it refers to as “abortion care.”
God is the ultimate clinic escort. God is with us when we walk into a clinic & remains with us the entire time. #GodBlessTheClinics

The Very Rev. Tracey Lind, dean of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, blessed the abortion clinic, saying, “Bless this building. May its walls stand strong against the onslaught of shame thrown at it. May it be a beacon of hope for those who need its services.”
The blessing event outside the Preterm abortion clinic was arranged by Rev. Laura Young, a United Methodist minister who is executive director of RCRC’s Ohio chapter, reports the Columbus Dispatch. Young calls herself a “progressive theological thinker and a feminist,” and says her goals include urging more clergy members to advocate for organizations that provide abortions and contraception.
I’m out of words. But I will choose to speak up — this needs to be shared. All Americans need to be aware of this. We are at a point where we cannot merely accept this “because that’s just the way things are now.” Things have become this extreme because, for the past decade, America has been brainwashed with Politically Correct far left socialistic dogma. PC mantras originating in D.C., brainwashed all of us into thinking we couldn’t speak up about these things because if we did we’d lose our jobs, we’d be shunned from our liberal friends, or we’d be labeled as racist or homophobic or whatever the political identification and slander of the day might be. Folks, enough is enough.
American culture needs a great awakening. If I know one answer to any of this, it’s that a far-left liberal government, celebrities, media, and now even feminists who call themselves priests, are not going to bring back balance and hand out a moral compass anytime soon.
It’s up to us. Keep the faith.
