Ahead of the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, conservatives have attempted to link a woman’s right to end her pregnancy to terrorism.

The messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn went on “Sid Roth’s ‘It’s Supernatural'” last week to explain how the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade was responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11, Right Wing Watch reports.

Cahn is discussing his interpretation of the “year of the Shemitah,” which comes once every seven years on the Hebrew calendar. He believes that human history can be explained by the events which occur in this year, as this is the year God is said to render an opinion on the moral and spiritual health of a given nation.

The World Trade Center was attacked “at the peak of the Shemitah, the last week, the day of nullifying — and actually, the collapse of the towers creates the collapse of Wall Street, which means the timing of 9/11 was determined by the mystery of the Shemitah.”

“The Shemitah can also mean the fall of nation, and guess what happened in 1973?” Cahn asked. “America decides to legalize the killing of unborn children. And that year is the same year America loses its first war — Vietnam. And yet that same year, you have the World Trade Center” being completed. It is no coincidence, he argued, that the Twin Towers also fell in 2001, another year of the Shemitah.

The conservative anti-abortion group Priests for Life also connected 9/11 to legalized abortion in a recent video. As images of 9/11 appear on screen, the video asks viewers to “imagine if a candidate for public office said, ‘I support the right of terrorists to do what they did.'”

“Would it matter if that candidate had the best education plan in the world, or the best health care plan?,” it continues. “Or would you simply not bother to ask about these other issues? Some positions disqualify a candidate from any further consideration. What about a candidate who supports the right to do this to children by abortion?”

It then answers these questions by displaying a series of photographs of what it claims are nearly full-term aborted fetuses. In a statement accompanying the video, Priest for Life national director Father Pavone said, “America will not end abortion until America sees abortion, and yet many hide from these images because they are too disturbing. But people should be disturbed.”

“Abortion is not a medical procedure performed by caring physicians in modern hospitals. It is a brutal murder perpetrated by charlatans who operate assembly lines of death,” he continued. “A candidate might have a great plan to jumpstart the economy or create jobs, but could anyone really overlook his or her views on terrorism?”

“It’s the same thing with abortion,” Father Pavone added. “Can you really support a candidate who sanctions a barbaric act that claims more than 3,000 lives a day?”

According to the latest numbers obtained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” there are only approximately 2,000 abortions performed in United States daily.
