Pro-life friends, this rally
is not about the Lord
Franklin Graham is visiting state capitals to argue that the Lord wants
you to support an ignorant, racist, misogynist fraud for President, because the
alternative is worse.
From my perspective, the most important detail in today’s very strange
presentation is the claim that Trump will push back against abortion. About 1.2
million children die from surgical abortion annually in the USA, and their moms
are deceived and exploited, and Hillary Clinton supports this violence.
But abortion is not on the ballot. Trump is. He wants your vote, and
has made promises. But a bankruptcy is a list of broken promises! Sometimes you
can’t help it; you can’t keep a promise; you have to ask creditors for patience
and understanding. But six times? And now he’s rich but still doesn’t pay the
people he stiffed? If he lies to people wholesale, not retail, why do you trust
his promise to you?
But what does Trump offer? Let’s skip all the other issues, except to
the extent that they affect abortion. Skip Russia, misogyny, racism, ignorance,
the economy, the military, everything. With regard to abortion, what does he
offer? Let’s just suppose he is elected, and keeps his word, and appoints three
pro-life Supreme Court justices. Great! What happens?
Abortion goes back to the states, stops promptly some, is regulated in
some, and stays in place in some. Net effect: any woman who wants an abortion
in America can get it, but might have to drive several hours more. How many
live will that save? We are not talking about saving 1.2 million annually;
we’re talking about saving thousands. Maybe tens of thousands.
I’m all in favor of saving thousands. But if we get to that with Trump,
what else do we get – sticking to abortion? Well, he encourages at least three
significant causes of abortion.
1.
Trump gives license to abuse women. If there is
a rise in abuse of women, how many more abortions will that cause? How many
tens of thousands?
2.
Trump encourages eugenic attitudes. How many
more abortions will that cause? How many thousands, or even tens of thousands?
3.
Trump will close borders. Immigration
restrictions here support population control elsewhere. How many MILLIONS more
abortions will that cause?
I do not
agree that a Trump presidency will lower the number of abortions at all. I
could be wrong, but it is my view that a Trump presidency would INCREASE
ABORTION DRAMATICALLY. In the name of Jesus, I ask you to consider carefully! Don’t
vote for a violent man who abuses women hoping that he will save lives. He
won’t deliver on his promise.
