Signs of the Times: Lesbian Episcopal Priest Made Ceo of National Abortion Group

"Abortion providers are some of my personal heroes and modern-day saints," says Episcopal priest and longtime abortion activist Katherine Ragsdale. 

With statements like that it is not hard to see why Ragsdale has recently been appointed to serve as the CEO and President of the National Abortion Federation.

Ragsdale had served as the dean of the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts from 2009 to 2015, and was a priest at St. David's Episcopal Church in Pepperell until taking the position at the seminary. She was a member of the board of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice for 17 years, and currently sits on the board of NARAL Pro-Choice America.

In addition to her abortion advocacy, Ragsdale is openly lesbian, "marrying" another female Episcopal priest, Mally Lloyd, in 2011 at Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston. The service was officiated by M. Thomas Shaw, the highest-ranking Episcopal leader in Massachusetts.

"God always rejoices when two people who love each other make a lifelong commitment in marriage to go deeper into the heart of God through each other," he claimed, according to a report at the time from LGBTQ Nation. "It's a profound pleasure for me to celebrate with God and my friends Katherine and Mally their marriage today."

In an April 2019 speech at a Kentucky Reproductive Freedom Fund fundraiser, Ragsdale claimed that the Bible says nothing about abortion and that it's dishonest and manipulative to call the human in the womb a "baby." 

Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life and president of the National Pro-Life Religious Council had this to say in response to Ragsdale's appointment:

"For decades, Katherine Ragsdale, a false prophet, has been trying to put religious vestments on child-killing," Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life and president of the National Pro-Life Religious Council, told LifeSiteNews. "She led the 'Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights' (now the 'Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice'), which actually provides rites of blessing for parents about to kill their children, and for the facilities in which the blood is shed." 

That group also provides "Scripture studies that attempt to say exactly the opposite of what Scripture says about what God thinks of the shedding of innocent blood," explained Pavone.

Fr. Pavone said it's not surprising that NAF chose Ragsdale to lead it. 

"It actually reveals one of the greatest weaknesses of the abortion industry: science is not on their side, logic is not on their side, and history is not on their side," he explained. "They ran out of arguments a long time ago to try to justify abortion. So now, all they have left is to disguise it in 'spirituality.'"

"They try in vain to take the stigma out of abortion -- but that effort continues, and that is what this new development represents," he said.

Fr. Pavone has for decades helped former abortionists and their staff "deal with the wounds abortion inflicts on them." 

"A big part of their healing is to dig themselves out of the many layers of lies that they told themselves to justify the killing they carried out," he said.

"Those lies take many forms: rationalization; intellectualization; and here, in the example of False Prophet Ragsdale's leadership, 'spiritualization.' And the lies by which spiritual and biblical language attempt to justify murder are among the most damaging to those who fall captive to them."

Curiosity rover reveals “mind-boggling” oxygen swings on Mars
The concentrations of these gases increase and decrease as the weather changes on Mars, as the icy winters lower air pressure across the planet and the summer then raises them again. This leads to regular patterns of concentrations of gases like nitrogen and argon, and in examining the latest data, the scientists expected to see similar trends at play for oxygen. Only they didn’t. Oxygen concentration rose by around 30 percent more in the Martian spring and summer than the scientists expected, and dipped below expectations in the winter.

What You Need To Know About Antinatalists And The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement That Is Gaining Global Popularity As The End Times Darken
After nearly 10 years of reporting on the end times for Now The End Begins, sometimes I feel that I have seen it all and heard it all, and then a story like antinatalism comes along to show me just how wrong I am.

CHRIST IS THE SOURCE OF FULNESS TO HIS CHURCH AND TO INDIVIDUAL SOULS. (Ephesians 1:23)
Nov 16th, 2019
Morning MeditationF. B. Meyer
Categories: Meditation;Inspirational;Book Study

We have sought to be filled with earthly goods and human love. Away upon the mountains we have essayed to hew out for ourselves cisterns, to be fed by rushing brooks and falling showers, and be always brimming; but we have been greatly disappointed. In each case a flaw or crack has made our work abortive, and we have seen the water sinking inch after inch till only drops have remained to quench the fever-flush or our souls. Not more successful have been the attempts of those who have sought rest in systems of theology, in rites and ceremonies, or in the rush of unceasing engagements. In none of these can the nature of man find its completion or fruition.

All the fulness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Him, that of that fulness we might all receive, and grace on grace; like repeated waves that follow one another up to the furthest reaches of the tide. In Him we have been made full in the purpose and intention of God (Col_2:9); and in Him we may be made full by the daily reception of his grace, through the operation of the Holy Spirit.

It is as if God stored the whole fulness of his nature in Jesus, that it might be readily accessible by us. The river of God, which is full of water, flows over the low threshold of his humanity, that it may be within the reach of the weakest and smallest in his kingdom. We might be afraid of the Great Spirit; but what little child, what timid woman, ever shrank from the gentle Lamb of God?

There is not one, who is in Jesus by a living faith, that may not reckon on being filled by Him. As the life-blood flows from the cistern-heart into each member and part of the body, so do the tides of life and love that emanate from the heart of Jesus pulse against the doors of all believing hearts. He fills all.

And He fills all in all. The heart, with its keen power of enjoyment or sorrow. The mind, with its marvellous ability of tracking the footsteps of the Creator. The sense of humour and the sense of reverence. The hours of recreation and the hours of meditation. The days of work and the days of worship. All in all.

He cannot do otherwise, without robbing or impoverishing Himself. For, as each part of the plant is needed to fill up the measure of its ideal, and as each member is required to fulfil the complete conception of a man; so each one of the members of Christ's mystical body, that Church, is essential to the manifestation of his fulness. He needs thee and me, or there will be some portion of his fulness which will never be able to manifest itself. But as sure as we present ourselves to Him, there will be an infilling of our nature with Himself, as the chill morning air, at dawn, becomes suddenly radiant with sunbeams.

Antinatalism is a Philosophy or Belief System That Teaches That Life is not An Amazing Gift or Mirac

CommentaryExcerpts - Originally Published in the Guardian

Antinatalism is a philosophy or belief system that teaches that life is not an amazing gift or miracle, but something that is harmful and bad. Want to guess who could possibly be the author of such a thing?

After nearly 10 years of reporting on the end times for Now The End Begins, sometimes I feel that I have seen it all and heard it all, and then a story like antinatalism comes along to show me just how wrong I am. There is no end to the end times, it just keeps deepening and darkening, as we who are saved wait for our Blessed Hope on Flight #777, and as we watch an unsaved world sinking deeper into deception. So what is Antinatalism? A doctrine of demons, and it’s growing in popularity right now.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:10,11 (KJV)

Antinatalism, also spelled as anti-natalism, is a philosophy or belief system that teaches that life is not an amazing gift or miracle, but something that is harmful and bad. In February, a 27-year-old Indian man named Raphael Samuel announced plans for an unusual lawsuit. He was going to sue his parents for begetting him. “It was not our decision to be born,” he told the BBC. “Human existence is totally pointless.” How utterly sad for any living soul to think that life was pointless.

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44 (KJV)

Antinatalists are also allied with many groups that you most likely have heard of before, and it will come as little to no surprise that they support Planned Parenthood, Climate Change, Population Control, the LGBTQ+P for Pedophile Movement, and strongly promote veganism. Jesus said that He came that we might have LIFE, and that more ABUNDANTLY.  Antinatalism teaches that life is a curse, want to guess who could possibly be the author of such a thing? I’ll give you a clue, he is the same person who was a murderer from the beginning, and has been seeking to kill all those that Jesus shed His blood to save.

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)

Now think of the 2020 Democratic Party, and think of the planks in their platform. Every, single one of the Democratic candidates believe that a baby can be aborted up to its due date. That’s as bad or maybe ever worse than the minds that conceived the horrors of Auschwitz in Nazi Germany.  And right behind that they are promoting population reduction, gender confusion and the list goes on and on. This is an attack alright, but not an attack by the Liberals, it’s an attack through the Liberals by Satan as his global influence grows in preparation for the arrival of Antichrist.  This is where we find ourselves as we approach 2020, on the eve of destruction.

I wish I’d never been born: the rise of the anti-natalists FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: In 2006, the South African philosopher David Benatar published a book which is widely credited with introducing the term anti-natalism.  In Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence, Benatar quotes the Greek tragedian Sophocles (“Never to have been born is best / But if we must see the light, the next best / Is quickly returning whence we came”) and the text of Ecclesiastes (“So I have praised the dead that are already dead more than the living that are yet alive; but better than both of them is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun”). These quotes suggest that the sentiments at the heart of anti-natalism have been around for a very long time.

In modern history, another strain of thought emerged, warning against the dangers of population growth. In the late 18th century, Thomas Malthus sounded the alarm that the population would outstrip the food supply. In 1968, a Stanford biologist named Paul Ehrlich published the bestselling book The Population Bomb and co-founded the organization Zero Population Growth (later renamed Population Connection), arguing that the growth in global population would lead to famines and ecological crisis. He also suggested that people have no more than two children.

One member of Zero Population Growth struck out on his own with a much more radical agenda. A man named Les Knight launched the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT) with the goal of “Phasing out the human race by voluntarily ceasing to breed”, as stated on the website that he launched in 1996.
