Contrary to the portrayal of Wicca as a pro-abortion religion by both christians and atheist liberals, Wicca is really a Pro-life religion.
Wicca teaches that all things are sacred, that all things have a spirit and that all that is of Mother Earth deserves our protection and preservation. The Witch’s Rede states “These 13 words reside forever under the Gods will, An harm ye none, Less be it to preserve, do what thou will.”
The Air that bird and insects fly in, who’s freedom and right to live is something we value as important. And for that we fight to keep the air clean so they may live.
The Water that fish swim in, who’s freedom and right to live is something we value as important. And for that we right to keep our water clean so they may live.
The fire that destroys the dead overgrowth of forest to make way for new vegetation to grow and create better habitats for animals who’s freedom and right to live will be better sustained. And for this the fight to tame fire is something we value as important so it works for good instead of destruction. the same fire we use to cook with and warm our homes, to keep ourselves and those animal friends who share our dwellings with us, alive and living free.
The Earth below us, ever constant yet changing. It too is sacred as it gives home to all creatures. Creatures who’s freedom and right to live is something we value as important. And for this we fight to keep the Earth clean so they may live.
All things are divine from the birds, to insects, from fish to land creatures. The elements are too divine as we hold them sacred for all things have the spirit of the Great Lady and Lord, Goddess and God. They inhabit all things just as we are a part of them.
So be it known that none may call themselves “Wiccan” and not recognize the sanctity and divinity of an unborn baby. Since we all born, die and reborn, we know that life is not something that just begins, life is something that was always there. Life is there before conception. A baby in the womb is the very embodiment of the Goddess, the living effigy of her promise of new life.
The very cauldron on our Altars is to remind us of the sanctity of not just the womb, but of what it carries… we pray to this and yet it is a mere symbol, a representation of the real thing… And to call it anything less is to spit in her eyes.
It is our holy charge to be the caretakers of not just what is sacred, but for that which can not take care of itself… that which is most vulnerable to negative actions of others through ill will or ignorance. To protect the life the Goddess creates is the very embodiment of the God. And to find any reason to justify otherwise is to spit in his eyes.
Abortion ends a life, and to trivialize life is as far from Wicca as one can get. It goes against everything the Rede and all teachings of the divine give.
