“The state Senate voted 38-24 in favor of the so-called ‘Reproductive Health Act’ Tuesday evening, the Albany Times-Union reports, a bill that has repeatedly cleared the state Assembly in years past but been blocked by the formerly-Republican Senate. Following the Senate vote, the Assembly passed it 92-47.

‘We have a president who’s made it very, very clear that he wants to overturn Roe v. Wade,’ Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins declared before the vote. ‘Today, here in New York, we are saying no […] and we’re not just saying no. We’re saying that here in New York, women’s health matters. We’re saying here in New York, women’s lives matter. We’re saying here in New York, women’s decisions matter.’”

While New York’s perverse politicians are only continuing to do what they do best (forcibly substituting evil for good [Is. 5:20] by executing an unwarranted and unyielding tyrannical abuse of power), the priests of Molech have now descended so low that the flames of hell should be just about licking the soles of their feet.

Lest there be any reader so inundated with leftist propaganda so as to still believe a persistent talking point, the “Reproductive Health Act” and all similar such subterfuge has nothing at all to do with “women’s health.”

“I want to clear something up so that there is absolutely no doubt. I’m a Board Certified OB/GYN who has delivered over 2,500 babies. There’s not a single fetal or maternal condition that requires third trimester abortion. Not one. Delivery, yes. Abortion, no.”

[Western Journal]

Leave it to the State of New York to lead the way in “social justice” initiatives while aggressively and overtly perverting actual justice, celebrating the freedom to murder the unborn up until the day of delivery; it is to scoff at God as He patiently endures a wicked and rebellious generation (It is also noteworthy that while Andrew Cuomo is a Romanist, he will not be receiving any rebuke or disciplinary action from that “pro-life” City on Seven Hills).

As Gordon Clark noted more than sixty years ago,

“If there is no source of rights other than the state, […] if there is no force more powerful than the state; if there is no God who controls states, then totalitarianism is the conclusion to be expected.”[1]

And make no mistake, it is indeed the idol of an alleged “right” to murder that continues to drive the aspirations of one particular political party.

“The ‘fundamental’ right to abortion is enshrined in the New York Constitution. ‘Every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right to choose to carry the pregnancy to term, to give birth to a child, or to have an abortion, pursuant to this article,’ the law states.”

[Breitbart]

What is most disconcerting, however, is that there continues to be a segment of professing evangelicals who consistently and unrepentantly cast votes for the Democratic Depravity Party. Union affiliation, government handouts, or the attractiveness of other 21^st century idols have apparently undermined such individuals’ ability to rightly prioritize the butchered bodies of millions of image-bearers and their blood which cries out from the ground (Gen. 4:10).

To those who think they can serve two masters—that they can fellowship around the Lord’s table on Sunday and on Tuesday pull the lever for a party that has aggressively fought for a woman’s “right” to kill her kids—do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Gal. 6:7). The professing Christian who supports the Depravity Party may not himself be complicit in murder, but willingly contributing to the election of such evildoers says something of his spiritual condition, something which should illicit sober introspection and self-examination.

“Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.”

1 Cor. 11:27-29
