“Human sacrifice, the sacrifice of children, the killing of children is the one constant in human civilization.”
Tucker Carlson Draws Striking Comparison Between Abortion and Ritualistic Child Sacrifice
Elizabeth Johnston reports:
Former Fox News host and culture war personality Tucker Carlson recently drew a striking comparison between modern-day abortion practices and child sacrifice rituals throughout history.
“Human sacrifice, the sacrifice of children, the killing of children is the one constant in human civilization,” he noted while speaking to a gala held by The Center for Christian Virtue, as LifeNews reported.
Carlson first explained that there was a point when he could “sort of see the other side” when it came to political issues.
Yet the radical abortion issue has marked a departure from the “competing visions for how to improve people’s lives” that used to comprise the political landscape.
Pointing to two ballot initiatives in Ohio that respectively codify “abortion rights” into the state constitution and decriminalize drug use, Carlson asked “who’s benefitting here?” when it comes to promoting the slaughter of unborn children and drug use.
He pointed to the prevalence of child sacrifice in the Bible, which God “singled out” as “detestable.”

“Why were people doing that?” Carlson asked of the ritualistic sacrifices frequently mentioned in the Old Testament kingdoms. “Because, of course, they believed that they were getting power and contentment and happiness in return.”
Sound familiar?
Carlson expounded on this point by explaining that it wasn’t just the notoriously blood Aztecs and Mayans of Mesoamerica that ritualistically sacrificed children, but civilizations across the globe and throughout history.
Then, he made the very stirring point that the impulse to sacrifice one’s own children couldn’t possibly happen “organically,” as it would defy evolutionary biology.
“That’s an idea, an impulse that was introduced,” Carlson argued. “Outside forces are acting on people at all times throughout history in every culture on the planet to convince people that if they sacrifice their children they will be happy and safe.”
“And that’s exactly what this is,” he continued. “This is a religious rite. This is not a policy debate, they’re not telling you that some girl got raped at 13 and she needs to go to college and therefore, unfortunately, we need to abort the child. No. That was 20 years ago. Now they’re saying, ‘Abortion is itself a pathway to joy.’ Really? So this is not a political debate, this is a spiritual battle. There is no other conclusion.”
