I am sure you are aware that the Republican Party has taken the pro-life plank out of their party platform. It comes as no surprise to me. As a guy who has spent countless hours on the streets defending the pre-born children this change in policy came as no surprise to me.
The Republican Party has been pro-life with exceptions for as long as I can remember. In fact, my experience has been that the Republican honchos have been ashamed of the pro-life wing of their party and have wished for a long time that they could stick the pro-lifers on the back of the Republican bus along-side the ghost of Rosa Parks.
In fact, most of the “conservative” church has been pro-life-with-exceptions for years. You see, they thought abortion was wrong, but they didn’t want it outlawed just in case one of their daughters made a mistake. Better to secretly kill the child than face the embarrassment of having one of the pillars of the church be shamed by the sexual miscreants of their teenage daughter.
For many Christians, killing the baby is a better consequence than public embarrassment and the future-altering “mistake” of the daughter. Better to kill the baby than screw-up college dreams.
Oh, you know I am telling the Truth.
That is why a hard sermon on baby murder is rarer than a pro-life Catholic. (I might as well get everyone ticked off at me.) In the election of 2020, nearly half of American Catholics voted for baby killer Joe Biden…I remember the days when Catholics WERE the pro-life movement. Check this out.
Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.; Bob Casey, D-Penn; Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.; Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; Tim Kaine, D-Va.; Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.; Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.; Ed Markey, D-Mass.; Bob Menendez, D-N.J.; Patty Murray, D-Wash.; Alex Padilla, D-Calif., and Jack Reed, D-R.I. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M . All Catholics who voted for abortion. Pelosi is Catholic. So is Biden.
The Catholic vote has kept abortion legal in America. Did you know that SIX of the Judges are Catholic…3 of them pro-abortion?
Take a deep breathe. Exhale. This is not a Catholic-bashing commentary. Save your emails. Just the facts, Ma’am. Just the facts.
Some of my “Republican” friends went ballistic when the elephants removed the pro-life stance from the platform. They blamed Trump. They said that pro-lifers were “compromising their values for MAGA.”
I don’t want to spoil the party but Donald Trump is the most pro-life president in my lifetime. He appointed three judges to SCOTUS who voted to void Roe v Wade. There is no right to abortion in the US Constitution. There have been 9 Presidents since Roe was wrongly decided in 1973, 5 Republicans and 4 Democrats. NONE affected abortion more than Donald Trump
Abortion is now a STATES RIGHTS issue. People are always jaw-boning that Trump is a dictator but when he acknowledges that SCOTUS returned the issue to the States “conservatives” want the Feds to rule on abortion. Talk about double-minded.
My friends…abortion is now an issue for the STATES to deal with. As wrong as we may think that decision was there is no CONSTITUTIONAL right to abortion. Abortion is the purview of the individual states.
Which brings me back to the churches.
In my home state of Ohio abortion was placed on the ballot in 2023 as a result of the SCOTUS decision. The citizens of Ohio actually had the ability to outlaw abortion in our state. Fifty-seven percent of Ohioan voted to legalize the killing of the pre-born. Somehow, it has become Donald Trump’s fault.
Check this out. According to this Christian Post article less than half of American evangelicals are pro-life. Permit me to repeat myself. The majority of American evangelical Christians are PRO-CHOICE. Whose fault is that? Is Donald Trump preaching from America’s pulpits every Sunday? Does he have the ear of Christian America?
There’s more. In the 2020 election 64% of ALL REGISTERED VOTERS identified as Christian! BTW…that total is down 15 percent from 79% in 2008. You read that right. If the Christians voted as a block we would elect a CHRISTIAN President every four years. But…divide and conquer…the oldest trick in the books…has given us a Government of non-believers.
I wonder whose fault that is?
Take a peek at this chart. In the 2020 election 77% of white evangelicals voted for Trump. Only 41% of non-white Christians did. Only 50 percent of mainline Christians voted for Trump, while only 11% of Blacks did.
Wait. There is more. Thirty-nine percent of WHITE CATHOLICS voted for BIDEN, while 68% of NON-WHITE Catholics voted for Biden. (Hmm…wonder why the DEMS are for open borders?)
Had enough yet? Barely HALF of the Christians in America even vote! Ninety million are registered but forty million Christians do not vote. Another 15 million aren’t even registered to vote!!
As you ponder the statistics you just read simply ask yourself this question. Why are American Christians so divided when the go to the polls? Could it be because the men in America’s pulpits have decided not to get involved in politics?
My friends, abortion isn’t political. Sexual deviancy isn’t political. Protecting our borders is not political. Fair trade is not political. Teaching morality to our children is not political. Stealing from one man to give to another is not political.
The Scriptures ask us “Can two walk together lest the agree?” Would there be as much political division in America if there was not so much division in American Christianity?
Does a woman’s right to kill her unborn child over-rule the right of the child to live? Have you ever met a pro-choice fetus? Sixty-five millions Christians can’t even figure that one out. What in the hades are the pulpits teaching the people?
No Christian could ever vote for a party that wants to kill the most innocent of all of God’s creatures. Don’t tell me you are a Christian and vote for the death of innocent human beings.
Jesus isn’t just pro-life. He IS life! His followers are so confused they can’t even figure that one out…
Permit me to paraphrase Martin Niemoller.
First they came for the fetus’ and I did not speak out—because I was not a fetus. Then they came for the pre-schoolers, and I did not speak out—because I was not a pre-schooler. Then they came for the students, and I did not speak out—because I was not a student. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Hey Christians! Abortion is murder. Stop voting for murderers.
