Woman Builds Altar for 'Sacred Abortion Experience' Including Container for 'Fetal Remains'

One of the arguments conservatives have made for years against abortion is that it’s metaphorical killing of unborn children to appease the modern Moloch — the false Canaanite god strongly associated with child sacrifice in the Bible.

Sacrifice your unborn child, so you can have a career. Sacrifice your unborn child, so you can have sexual freedom. Sacrifice your unborn child to save the planet. There are plenty of metaphorical Molochs in this world, after all, and women are told plenty of them will suffice as a moral reason for an abortion — if they even feel the need to provide one.

However, at some level, this argument remained metaphorical, at least at an earthly level. Sure, the practice of aborting a child may be Molochian, but the modern, sterile death-mills of an abortion clinic hardly evoke the book of Leviticus.

That’s the whole point, of course; a pregnant woman who walked into the waiting room of a Planned Parenthood and found an altar to the abortive sacrifice, complete with candles and a container for the remains of a dead fetus, would turn right around and join the protesters outside. If there weren’t any, she’d be the first.

Therefore, I’m not entirely certain whether the folks at a group called “Self Guided Abortion” are conservatives in disguise.

They certainly don’t appear to be. They have a website that popped up in 2021 — at least according to the earliest version of it available on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine — which says the group “supports you with accurate and detailed information on how to have an abortion at-home with pills.”

“Pregnancy happens. Abortion services shouldn’t be the most traumatic part of your abortion,” their homepage reads. Thus, whoever is behind the project believes you’ll be happier by aborting your baby at home via the drugs they discuss on their website.

And, just so it’s not traumatic, they have a six-minute video on YouTube in which a woman walks you through how to build an altar to your at-home abortion — including, yes, candles and a container for the aborted fetus.

While the initial YouTube video was posted in October of 2021, it’s been making the rounds on Twitter recently as the left shows its true colors on a procedure they once said should be “safe, legal and rare.”

“Building an altar for your abortion can be a really cathartic procedure, can really be a really cathartic process,” an unidentified woman said at the beginning of the video.

“Because it just creates a space for your sacred container, where you can return to whenever you want to meditate, whenever you want to think deeply or contemplate any aspect of your abortion.

“It’s a really beautiful way to just give reference to the experience and hold the experience in a really sacred way,” she added.

The altar itself — which appeared to be built on a sub-Ikea-quality side table repurposed as a Molochian sacrarium — is first prepared by “smudging” the area with “some palo santo or some sage” to “really just clean the space, clean myself.”

Smudging, by the way, is a practice appropriated by witless hippies from the Native Americans in which smoke from certain plants is meant to cleanse or purify a location. In this case, a whole forest fire of sage couldn’t properly purify this corner of the Earth.

Next, one takes a “nice cloth that you have that is beautiful and means something to you — or a scarf or any other item — and just place it on top of the altar.”

Next comes “a photo or a symbol of something.” In this case — and this is why I cannot properly vouch to you this isn’t a conservative in disguise, engaged in Borat-esque pro-life performance art — the woman in the video said she “work[s] a lot with the Mary Guadalupe, or Mother Mary, energy.”

Just so we’re clear here, she is, in fact, talking about Mary, the mother of Jesus — sometimes referred to as “Our Lady of Guadalupe” among Latino Catholics because of a series of five 16th-century Marian apparitions in Mexico.
