Tucker Carlson: Abortion is a demonic offering and ritual murder

Renowned American journalist Tucker Carlson stated that abortion is a demonically driven "human sacrifice" that acts as an “offering to the spirit world".

He made this statement during an interview in which he also expressed his opinion on transgenderism, calling it a "form of mass suicide" for society.

Carlson explained his position by saying that transgenderism prevents people from having children, leading to the extinction of humanity.

Tucker Carlson grew up in the Anglican Church, a community he said "didn’t really mean what it was teaching".

He admitted that he had not given much thought to abortions since he did not have a clear theological position. However, watching what is happening in the world forced him to think more deeply on this issue.

Carson revealed that he’s “always been totally opposed to abortion or killing the defenseless – really killing anybody, honestly, except for self-defense.” However, he said, abortion is now perceived by some people as a point itself, which greatly concerns him.

"They didn’t even attempt to convince you that you weren’t taking human life," Carlson noted. "And so, they’re basically saying killing people is a good thing. And I thought, well, that’s just a remarkable thing to say. And then I found out … that is what every society has said in recorded history."

The journalist mentioned ancient peoples such as the Canaanites, Maya, Aztecs, and some Northern European peoples who practiced ritual killings. He believes that this illogical behavior can only be explained by the intervention of an external force.

"There’s something about killing other people ritually as an offering to the spirit world that is a constant through human history," Carlson continued.

"And really the only logical answer is because some outside force was telling them that, right? That the spirit world is real, and that there are demons telling people that you will be happier, that you will be safer, that you will be richer, you will be more powerful if you take the life of a child," the journalist said.

He also emphasized that "evolutionary biology tells us that the whole point of existence is to continue existence, is to pass on your genes to another generation." However, in his opinion, every civilization from the beginning of time has reached the opposite conclusion: we will be happier by killing the fruit of our womb, children, and we will be rewarded by the gods for doing this.

"Every single civilization has reached that conclusion without any exception that I’m aware of," he added.

Earlier, the statistics on the number of abortions performed in Ukraine over the past year was published.
