Bradley Pierce: Modern Demonic Rituals and the Embrace of Human Sacrifice in Trump’s America

- 1Bradley Pierce frames abortion as human sacrifice and argues Christianity historically helped end the practice in the West.

- 3Pierce combines theology with biology and constitutional principles to argue that legal penalties must deter both abortion providers and demand.
Don't miss
Bradley Pierce argues that equal protection should extend existing homicide laws to unborn children and require penalties for abortion demand as well as supply.
The brief
Bradley Pierce and Tucker Carlson define abortion as the intentional destruction of innocent human life, then place that claim inside a religious history of human sacrifice and Christianity’s opposition to child killing.
The conversation moves from Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and the Hippocratic Oath to Roe v. Wade, medication abortion, and the post-Roe debate over privacy and bodily autonomy.
Pierce argues that abortion should be abolished for reasons of justice and obedience to God, not demographics or economics, and calls for stronger enforcement against pills and providers.
The sharpest political clash targets Republican leaders and mainstream pro-life organizations, which Pierce says have weakened enforcement and rejected equal-protection laws covering women as well as providers.
Pierce’s secular case starts with biology and distinct DNA before returning to the claim that equal human worth depends on God’s authority; the interview closes with his twelve-child family.
