Many have observed the connections between consumerism and abortion. It’s an ancient insight.
The prophet Micah charged that Zion had been built with blood and Jerusalem with violent injustice (Micah 4:10).
He immediately followed with a charge against Judah’s leaders: Judges accept bribes, priests teach for money; prophets please the deep pockets (Micah 4:11_).
The connection is obvious enough. Innocent people die when judges are greedy, and the violent rich are comforted and justified by money-hungry clerics and prophets.
So it will always be, because Mammon is a jealous god, and demands blood.
