At the initiative of the local diocese and the regional Department of Health, abortion is being prohibited for one day in the Yaroslavl region, reports Interfax-Religion.

The temporary prohibition was taken in honor of the 14,000 Holy Infants slain by Herod, who was trying to kill the Christ-Child, whom the Orthodox Church commemorates on December 29/January 11.

“On this day, in all state medical institutions of the Yaroslavl region, abortions are banned, and an event opposing the killing of children in the mother’s womb and for the protection of the values of motherhood is planned,” the press service of the Yaroslavl Diocese reported.

The organizers of the event also call upon private clinics to join in the ban.

There will also be a “Candlelit Memorial” in honor of the Holy Innocents murdered by Herod and those slain by abortion.

Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov: If we don’t stop committing abortions, the Lord will wipe us from face of earth
“To expect some prosperous marriage or some kind of joyous life after infanticide is simply ridiculous. A person can find no kind of happiness if he is a murderer of his own children. Such cannibals, as our people, need to be wiped off the face of the earth, and only the great grace of God towards us (for we are all His children) will save us from the wrath of God. But if we don’t wake up, the wrath of God will fall upon us,” stated Fr. Dmitry.

Of course it would be great to see abortion totally outlawed, but consider that this was initiated by the local diocese and the Department of Health, who, of course, are not the ones that have the ability to change the law. Better at least to take one day and refrain, and publicly draw a parallel between Herod's actions and those of modern-day abortionists, than to not take that one day.

Can no one see how sick this is. It should not have even been posted here. They know they are killing babies so stop for one day in honour of the slain innocents and then carry on like the new herods the next day
