While the talk of the nation focused on the 13th anniversary of the attack at the World Trade Center, conservatives have decided now is the time to link that terrorist attack to abortion. Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has made some outrageous claims that the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe vs. Wade in 1973 was the catalyst for the attack on 911.
Basing his observation on the fact that the Shemitah comes every seven years, Cahn goes on to say how God rendered the decision based on the spiritual and moral health of a nation. Since the attack on 911 came at the height of the Shemitah, he feels the timing has to do with the mystery that surrounds the Shemitah and this was of God’s doing.
Cahn explains that in 1973 the Supreme Court legalized abortion, the same year America lost the Vietnam war. The way he connects those events to 911 is by telling anyone who will listen that in 1973 the World Trade Center was completed. To make this connection more understandable for his audience, Cahn tells them that the World Trade Center was completed and destroyed during the years of the Shemitah. This connection must be an act of God.
Cahn feels that abortion is simply a brutal act of murder that is operated by charlatans working on the assembly line of death. With 2,000 abortions performed each day in the United States, the rabbi has plenty of fuel for his next comparison to a tragic event that strikes this nation.
