Facebook Page “Virgin Mary Should’ve Aborted” Removed

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

A Facebook page dedicated to attacking and slandering Christians featuring a picture of an aborted baby Jesus was been taken down after protests from pro-life groups.

The web page featured a photo of the Virgin Mary holding an aborted Jesus who was wearing a crown of thorns.  The Virgin Mary was smoking a marijuana cigar looking as if she was very satisfied with aborting God’s son.

A spokesman for the group Catholics & Protestants Against Facebook Religious Discrimination said that this wasn’t a case of shutting down someone’s First Amendment rights but rather a case of hate speech.

“It’s one thing to say we’re atheists and we’re proud of it,” Cary Bogue said in a statement, “It’s another to say that [Jesus’s] mother should have aborted him.”

Facebook’s policies say they encourage discussion and permit parody on their site but do have a line when it comes to hate speech.

“While we encourage you to challenge ideas, institutions, events, and practices, we do not permit individuals or groups to attack others based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition,” Facebook’s Community Standards page states.
