On the Streets of Babylon: Ruth Bader Ginsburg granted "sainthood" on the Streets

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4


It seems that "Ruth Bader Ginsburg was granted sainthood" on the Streets of Babylon...

"In a recent self-described “unabashed girl power sermon,” where all the worship for the service was replaced by renditions of Beyonce’s Run the World (Girls) and Survivor, impastor Jen
Strickland of Claremont
United Church of Christ sought to call attention to women in the bible by heaping praise on the Hebrew midwives Shiphrah and Puah, and how their struggle to protect bodily autonomy is analogous to efforts today.
“I’ll start off with the bad news. The bad news is that “reproductive rights,” as it turns out, have been under attack since 1500BCE. The good news, I think, is that even in the midst of mind blowing tomfoolery, women of all ages have been around to save the day.”
Strickland says that the midwives exhibited “bravery and courage to tell such a bold lie to such power” by lying about "why we’re not killing the Jewish babies,” doing what they could to “subvert the system” and ultimately use “Pharaoh’s own racist and prejudice beliefs about the Hebrews” against him.
Strickland praises Moses mother, sister, and Pharoah daughter for all conspiring against Pharoah and his desire to dictate to the women when they can and can’t have babies, and the praises deceased former US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, one of the most vociferous defenders of abortion and “reproductive rights” the country has ever known, by concluding: "We must never forget that the women who have gone before us have paved the way for more equality and more freedom for all of us today. They found ways to subvert the system in order to improve life.
I also hope we all have appreciation for the more recent
saints who have gone before us like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And I hope that you find the same spirit of bravery and faith, and you can figure out how you will subvert the system, in your specific context, in your own special way."
