Remember, under Roe v. Wade, the United States was one of only seven countries in the world with such radical abortion laws, alongside nations like North Korea and China, allowing elective abortions after 20 weeks. This point was fact-checked by The Washington Post, no less.
Taylor added details on Walz’s extreme views:
- Removed almost all health and safety protections for women
- Removed a 24-hour waiting period
- Permitted taxpayer funding of abortion
- Repealed the state’s protection of children born alive after a failed abortion
This is part of why it is so strange to see Evangelicals for Harris, who posted, “We do not believe in abortion up until birth, neither does @KamalaHarris. We believe in common sense pro-life policies that protect life at ALL stages. From conception to grave.”
Vice President Harris may be trying to nuance that she does not believe in abortion up to the moment of birth—which I hope someone who ask at a press conference or a debate— but for Christians to be defending any of Harris’s views on abortion is a far departure from the view that Christians have held for two millennia.
Facts really matter here. After the embarrassment of Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden, who were shocked when Biden continued his aggressive pro-choice policies, it is surprising to see Evangelicals for Harris make the same mistake.
“As pro-life leaders in the evangelical community, we publicly supported President Biden’s candidacy with the understanding that there would be engagement [with] us on the issue of abortion and particularly the Hyde Amendment,” Evangelicals for Biden wrote of President Biden. “We feel used and betrayed and have no intention of simply watching these kinds of efforts happen from the sidelines.”
Instead, the Harris-Walz ticket already has told you what it will do—adopt the most radical abortion policies in this nation’s history. For Evangelicals for Harris, they know this going in…
Serving a Greater Kingdom While Being Salt and Light
While I’m grateful for so much as an American, I must remember that Christians serve a greater Kingdom than the United States. The Lord of our Kingdom calls us to be salt and light in a dark and unsavory world (Matthew 5:13-16).
Speaking up for those who have no voice is part of that call.
As you consider your vote, please keep in mind those who have no voice—the unborn.
Facts matter. Calling balls and strikes matters. The Republicans have decided that pro-lifers have nowhere to go, and now hold similar views as pro-choice Democrats did a few decades ago. And the Democratic Party is among the most radical on abortion in modern history.
I don’t tell people how to vote—that’s binding the conscience in ways with which I am not comfortable, but facts are our friends. And these are the facts.
However, I will say this: The unborn deserve better, and I’ll use my vote accordingly.
I still will.
