Today is Halloween. Children are running and laughing, gleefully showing off their costumes and expressing their excitement about trick-or-treating or fall festival games and activities.

But others have more sinister plans for the night. After all, evil does exist.

Evidence of the present-day evil of child sacrifice can frequently be found in Operation Rescue’s regular undercover exposés. One such example is found in a report published Tuesday casting light on America’s second “satanic abortion clinic.” The so-called clinic is targeting abortion-free states and enticing mothers into satanic, narcissistic, ritualistic practices. The report notes, “Agreeing to do the ritual is how one avoids paying extra costs beyond the $90 prescription for the abortion pills.”

“Women who agree to this ritual are ‘selling their souls to the devil,’ all in the name of bodily autonomy,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

“But the hearts of human beings are deceitful. We can all easily be lured into sinful, self-absorbed attitudes with corresponding behaviors. But, as sin is repeatedly committed, the heart becomes sicker and more hardened.”

This dynamic is certainly visible among abortionists and abortion clinic workers who grow increasingly callous as they repeatedly commit murder of innocent babies while suppressing any sense of guilt.

“It is horrifying to observe the lack of remorse these serial killers quickly develop as they knowingly tear innocent children limb from limb,” said Newman. “We know from countless 911 records that the same heartlessness is often readily observable in the emotionless tone of voice and complete lack of urgency expressed by abortion facility workers when mothers are injured or killed.”

Horrific Blast from the Past

Over the years, Operation Rescue has reported on some of the most diabolical acts perpetrated by these hardened abortionists. One of the most gruesome examples involved the shocking 2003 testimony of abortion clinic staff who worked for former abortionist Krishna Rajanna.

In an appeal for increased abortion industry regulations, Phill Kline, then Kansas Attorney General, made a presentation to legislators using evidence from Rajanna’s clinic. Kline presented photographs portraying squalid, germ-ridden conditions, including filthy equipment and roach infestation. But even more alarming were unimaginably disturbing claims of cannibalism documented in a police officer’s affidavit.

Employees said they witnessed Rajanna put the remains of aborted babies in Styrofoam cups and store them in a refrigerator freezer with frozen dinners. One employee said she and others witnessed Rajanna later heating the aborted baby remains in the microwave and then stirring them into his lunch.

In 2005, Kansas City Detective William Howard testified before the House Committee on Health and Human Services about observations he made at the facility more than two years earlier.

He stated, “I am an experienced police officer who has worked in every aspect in law enforcement and had spent my last five years in the homicide unit where I worked countless community deaths. I thought I had heard and seen every vile, disgusting crime scene but was in for a new shock when I started this investigation.”

The detective’s full shocking testimony can be read here.

Operation Rescue worked closely with Kline throughout the investigation. After multiple inspections and disciplinary actions, Rajanna’s Kansas state medical license was finally revoked on June 11, 2005, “in light of the ongoing nature of the violations.” The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts was slow to take any action against Rajanna and did so only after legislation passed the Kansas House that threatened to move oversight responsibilities of abortion clinics to the Department of Health and Environment.

Present Horrors, Citizen Responsibility

“This case, much like that of Kermit Gosnell’s ‘House of Horrors,” is evil on display,” said Newman. “Many look at the actions of these men and characterize them as monsters. But what we must realize is that, while their actions are incredibly disgusting and obviously evil, that vast numbers of children are murdered at the hands of men and women in clean scrubs and crisp white coats. These ‘medical professionals’ call abortion ‘healthcare,’ but just like Rajanna and Gosnell, they are murderers with hearts so hard they cannot even recognize evil anymore.”

“Halloween is celebrated once a year, and many believe it is an inappropriate celebration of evil. Yet, every day Americans are partakers of the profound wickedness of murdering innocent unborn babies. Some celebrate it, some secretly or openly participate first-hand, some quietly condone it while obscuring and dismissing the severity of the offense.

“America must repent. We must acknowledge the atrocity of abortion and our national participation in the destruction of innocent lives. We must turn the dial in the other direction.”

The most effective and expedient way every American can do that in the coming week is to cast a vote, or multiple votes, for life.

“We cannot vote in a manner inconsistent with protecting innocent lives,” adds Newman. “To do so is to partake in the atrocity of abortion by our own hands. First and foremost, we must vote next week as if a child’s life depends on it – because it does. As does the fate of this nation. The evil of abortion must end.”
