In the primary 2024 presidential debate, Vice-President Kamala Harris said she would “proudly” sign a bill into law that restored the federal right to an abortion. She went on to say, “One doesn’t need to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the federal government and Donald Trump definitely mustn’t be telling a girl what to do together with her body,” Harris said.
So, Harris is arguing that Jesus is for or allows abortion under the authority of the federal government as a “righteous and holy right.”
She can hold whatever view she desires to hold as a government official, but when she becomes an authority and an authority on what the Bible says, then that’s a distinct conversation from my perspective as a pastor and follower of Jesus Christ.
Romans 13 tells us why government exists. It exists to represent God’s views to the people. Government officials should not to be a terror to good behaviour but to bad. The Apostle Paul tells us that government is established by God as His agent for our good.
Kamala Harris says that she is for all Americans. She made this statement quite a few times in the course of the first presidential debate. And each time she said it, I uttered out loud, “Except for the unborn Americans.” We now live in a rustic that does not wish to protect the lifetime of the unborn innocent child. Former President Donald Trump stood to fight for the suitable of the unborn child, the one who cannot speak for themselves. This took great courage and no matter what you’re thinking that of him as a human being or an individual, it is vital that God’s people support God’s Biblical principles.
I realize many God-fearing Christians are really battling Trump’s character, personality, and lack of discretion and wisdom in how he communicates and interacts with others. These are very valid concerns and things that folks like Rev Franklin Graham proceed to deal with with him.
The Bible says in Proverbs chapter 6 that there are six things the Lord hates, seven which can be an abomination to him. The third one on this list is “shedding innocent blood.” That is the definition of an abortion. It is the shedding of innocent DNA. I realize in these debates that the main focus quickly turns to abortion rights for the sake of incest, rape, and the protection of the lifetime of the mother. But abortion in America has turn into a way of contraception. It has turn into the technique of irresponsible reproduction. It has turn into the means to seemingly eliminate the results of irresponsible sexuality and it has come at the price of the unborn baby and sadly the mental health of the girl getting the abortion.
Life Network clinics across the United States are committed to helping scared and fearful mums and dads put together a plan for safeguarding their mental health and the lifetime of the unborn child. Yes, it involves sacrifice which our nation and our society not understands. It involves faith, conviction, and selflessness. It involves obedience to God. It involves allowing another person to walk you thru a really scary technique of keeping the infant or giving the infant up for adoption.
Life Network clinics wish to help save the lifetime of the unborn child and take care of the mum and pa of the kid, but even when the parents get an abortion, Life Network clinics are there to minister and take care of the parents who aborted their child. They don’t abandon them, ridicule them, or condemn them; they serve them. This is a stupendous picture of Jesus Christ’s love for people amid their sin. I applaud Life Network clinics and personally support them as a pastor of Vanguard Church in Colorado Springs, and as a person who gives money to them to support their ministry efforts.
Currently in Colorado, our state through laws has fallen in love with the killing of innocent babies. Rich Bennett, an expensive friend of mine, and the President/CEO of the Colorado Springs Life Network sent out an email informing those that care in regards to the lifetime of the unborn baby that laws is currently within the Colorado Congress, called Amendment 79. This is a radical pro-abortion amendment that seeks to permanently enshrine the “right” to unrestricted abortion until birth in Colorado’s Constitution. This reckless and extreme initiative will appear on Colorado ballots as Amendment 79-Right to Abortion.
This Amendment 79 will provide all Coloradians abortion on demand for healthy moms and babies as much as the ultimate day of the pregnancy. It will dismantle parental rights and permit minors to have abortions without parental consent and it’ll allow for taxpayer money to fund abortions in Colorado including for those coming from out of state.
This is a human rights issue and more importantly, since Vice-President Kamala Harris said it, it’s a faith issue. All human life is made within the image of God (Genesis 1:27). It begins at conception (Psalm 139:11-16). Each baby is designed for a novel purpose (Jeremiah 1:5) and belongs to the Lord. Ezekiel 18:4 says, “Know that each one lives are mine (that is God speaking); the lifetime of the parent in addition to the lifetime of the kid is mine.”
Jesus said in Luke 17:1, “Temptations to sin[a] are sure to come back, but woe to the one through whom they arrive! It can be higher for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were solid into the ocean than that he should cause considered one of these little ones to sin.”
Vice-Present Kamala, please know you may’t be faithful to the truths of God’s Word and be supportive of the shedding of blood of innocent life. The road you might be preparing for people of religion is a road of destruction. I implore you: turn back, repent, and protect the lifetime of the unborn before God corrects you Himself.
