Or so feminists and abortion advocates would have us believe. An organization called Faith Aloud — “Promoting Reproductive Justice through the Moral Power of Religious and Ethical Communities” — has created a special prayer just for abortion clinics and to “bless” the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

We stand here today as people of different faith traditions, but one in the presence of the Holy, surrounded by the love and goodness of the Divine. We understand that bricks and mortar, steel and glass are but temporary things, but that day by day, by our presence and the presence of the living God, they become infused with the spirit of all who walk through these doors.

May God bless these doors and all who pass through them.

May these doors offer a welcome passage to all who seek to understand the miracles of their own bodies, to all who strive to make healthy lifestyle and medical decisions, to all who look for honest answers to complex questions.

May these doors be for the professionals who work here a place of opportunity and challenge, a place to use their talents and develop new skills, a place to satisfy their innermost desires to be of holy service to others.

May these doors be held in safety against the evil desires of any forces that wish to do harm; may all who walk through these doors be filled with strength for overcoming whatever malevolence they face.

May these doors present to this community a symbol of care for the needs that are present in every human life, and may the community grow in its appreciation of and commitment to that care.

May these doors be to us all a vision of hope for our future and our children’s futures. As we celebrate 36 years of women having the right to make their own choices regarding motherhood, we pray for sound decisions throughout our nation that will continue to protect women’s choices.

God bless these doors and all who pass through them. Amen.

By Rev. Rebecca Turner, Executive Director, Faith Aloud

Some of the prayer seems pretty standard — OK, sure, bless these doors and bless the people who come through them. No religious person would possibly argue with that sentiment. But what really floored me were certain parts of the prayer. Like this one:

May these doors be for the professionals who work here a place of opportunity and challenge, a place to use their talents and develop new skills, a place to satisfy their innermost desires to be of holy service to others.

So… ripping apart pre-born infant bodies and suctioning out brains… these are now considered “talents” and “holy service”? Interesting. Then there was this:

May these doors be held in safety against the evil desires of any forces that wish to do harm; may all who walk through these doors be filled with strength for overcoming whatever malevolence they face.

What about the harm done to babies?

May these doors present to this community a symbol of care for the needs that are present in every human life, and may the community grow in its appreciation of and commitment to that care.

What about the millions of lives taken thanks to abortionists’ scalpels over the years? What about the ones that survive abortion and are left to die in a closet? What kind of “care” have they received?

May these doors be to us all a vision of hope for our future and our children’s futures. As we celebrate 36 years of women having the right to make their own choices regarding motherhood, we pray for sound decisions throughout our nation that will continue to protect women’s choices.

What about the children who never even had a chance to have a future? Where’s the prayer for them?

Really, I just couldn’t believe the hypocrisy in this “prayer”. Do these pro-abortion advocates really feel nothing for the babies who never even had a chance to live? Where are the prayers for them?

Oh, right, there are none. Got it.
