The meme has made its way across social media, infuriating moms everywhere.
Pictures of mothers with C-section scars, stating that women who didn't push to give birth are selfish and doomed.
The posts originated from a group calling themselves the "Disciples of the New Dawn," who posted the pictures and encouraged Christian women to give birth naturally, no matter the consequences.

The posts included a paragraph, which has since been removed, stating:
"Pregnancy is a beautiful thing as it is the zenith of a woman's role in a moral Christian society. If God has decided to call you home, it is not up to you or a doctor to reject Him. You may find yourself cast into the lake of fire for doing so. God's Peace."
The group tells women to identify the "lazy" women that did not undergo natural childbirth by their "guilt scars."
The cult behind the message is led by Father Patrick Embry, a man known for his religious rants against women's rights.
Women from the United States to Australia have rallied against the messages, pushing those who see it to report it for hate speech, and coming together by sharing their own C-section stories.
Old online petitions and Facebook groups against the group have also resurfaced and are working to eliminate the extreme Christian group's hostile teachings.
