Abortion as a French Constitutional Right: A Christian Response
By Sebastian Morello, European Conservative.
Let us abandon our embarrassment about giving to this epoch its proper name: the final reign of Satan.
The scenes from Paris this week were remarkable. In the parliament at Versailles, the new constitutional amendment that enshrines adults’ licence to kill human babies, either by the use of toxins or by dismembering them and crushing their skulls, was greeted with a standing ovation by politicians. Cheers, laughter, and music were heard throughout Paris as people celebrated this new constitutional ‘right,’ which hitherto had been in law since 1975, but was not something that had defined on paper the French State as such.
It is very important for Christians to understand what the political arena is, and why the things we see happening in our age are happening at all. According to Christianity, the world belongs to the devil as his principality (Jn 14:30), all the powers and kingdoms of the world belong to him (Matt. 4:8-9), and as the “god” of this world, as St. Paul calls him (2 Cor. 4:4), he demands worship and sacrifice. To me, the cheers, the partying, the lit-up buildings throughout the French capital and no doubt elsewhere in the country looked, in essence, a lot like a liturgical offering. The devil is scandalised by the union of spirit and flesh in human nature, he hates the Incarnation by which God divinised human nature—soul and body—and thus he seeks to alienate us from our own bodies and warp human nature which has become an icon of God Himself. The devil rejoices in the tearing of human flesh. And just as he did when he was known as Baal, so today he seeks the violent death of babies by those entrusted with their protection, to be a sacrificial offering to him and a recognition of his supremacy in the world.
