A New Religion ?


Are they “drinking the Kool-Aid” or is this a new religion? For those not aware of this term perhaps some background.

Over forty years ago the term, “drinking the Kool-Aid” originated 

from events in Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978, in which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple movement died because they were all persuaded to drink a powdered concoction laced with cyanide by Jim Jones, who convinced his so-called disciples to participate in this “revolutionary suicide.” 

In today’s vernacular “drinking the Kool-Aid” refers to accepting an idea because of popularity, peer pressure, or persuasion, and it has evolved further to mean extreme dedication to a cause. For selected Democratic politicians this cause is an intermingling of “women’s rights” and abortion. They seem to be able to justify just about anything if they include “women’s rights” in the catch phrase. I sometimes wonder, “Is it the right of a woman to murder her husband, boyfriend, mother, brother or child because the now dead person had ‘offended’ her?”Most everybody would say, “no” as the victim in these situations also has rights . . . the most prominent of which is the right to life. Here if someone were to say that the victim had no rights and a politician agreed with that, a lot of us sane individuals would say that the said politician had “drunk the Kool-Aid,” and we would all understand what that meant.

WARNING: The following has to do with partial birth abortion and  may not be pleasant reading (from Townhall):

In 2003 President George H. Bush signed into law the partial birth abortion ban (18 U.S.C. 1531) which takes great pains to describe partial-birth abortion as follows:

“Partial-birth abortion is an abortion “in which a physician deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living, unborn child’s body until either the entire baby’s head is outside the body of the mother, or any part of the baby’s trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother and only the head remains inside the womb, for the purpose of performing an overt act (usually the puncturing of the back of the child’s skull and removing the baby’s brains) that the person knows will kill the partially delivered infant, performs this act, and then completes delivery of the dead infant.”

WARNING: It gets worse (still from Townhall):

In 1992 Dr. Martin Haskell described his method:

(In the usual intact D&E [“dilitation and extraction”] the fetus’ head lodges in the cervix.)

“At this point, the right-handed surgeon slides the fingers of the left [hand] along the back of the fetus and ‘hooks’ the shoulders of the fetus with the index and ring fingers (palm down). While maintaining this tension, lifting the cervix and applying traction to the shoulders with the fingers of the left hand, the surgeon takes a pair of blunt curved Metzenbaum scissors.”

Haskell continued: “He carefully advances the tip, curved down, along the spine and under his middle finger until he feels it contact the base of the skull under the tip of his middle finger. [T]he surgeon then forces the scissors into the base of the skull or into the foramen magnum. Having safely entered the skull, he spreads the scissors to enlarge the opening. The surgeon removes the scissors and introduces a suction catheter into this hole and evacuates the skull contents. With the catheter still in place, he applies traction to the fetus, removing it completely.”

Is this gruesome procedure not murder? To us sane and rational individuals, the answer is obviously, “yes, it is murder.” Partial birth abortion is indeed murder – it is not a woman’s right to murder anyone. Those politicians who think that this is okay have drunk the Kool-Aid!  

And what is worse is that some of the more prominent ones profess to be good practicing Catholics.

FYI: Joe Biden (President of the United States), Xavier Becerra (US Secretary of Health and Human Services), and Nancy Pelosi (Speaker of the House) all  profess to be “practicing Catholics.

Are they “drinking the Kool-Aid” or is this a new religion?
