Kristina Karamo, Donald Trump’s choice for Michigan secretary of state, predictably opposes abortion rights—but she took the usual anti-choice talking points to a new, much weirder, level on her podcast in October of 2020.
“Abortion is really nothing new. The child sacrifice is a very satanic practice, and that’s precisely what abortion is. And we need to see it as such,” Karamo said. This episode was first unearthed by CNN’s KFILE.
Later in the episode, Karamo explained why abortion was a particularly bad form of child sacrifice. “When people in other cultures, when they engage in child sacrifice, they didn’t just sacrifice the child for the sake of bloodshed,” she said. “They sacrificed the child because they were hoping to get prosperity, and that’s precisely why people have abortion now: ‘Because I’m not ready. I don’t wanna have a baby. I don’t feel like it. I don’t have time. I wanna make more money. I want my freedom.’ So you’re sacrificing that child hoping to get something out of their death, which is your freedom, your happiness, your prosperity.”
