First off, I am not a Republican nor Democrat. I would say I am an Independent voting for the best person for office based on values not power. I wasn’t going to say anything but I have to step in.
I’m curious. Where in the U.S. Constitution does it state that the founding fathers created a theocracy and not a democracy? A democracy was instituted to govern all people regardless of race, color, creed, religion or gender. There are many instead who want to create a theocracy imposing their religious viewpoints on the rest of society. Pro Life using slick slogans and easy solution without explaining any of the ramifications
The hyprocrisy is apparent when the same religious denominations which the Christian research group LifeWay at the behest of pro-life group Care Net, paints a very different picture of those seeking abortions than you might imagine. The study interviewed 1,038 women who had received an abortion. Surprisingly,** a full 70 percent of these women were Christian.**.

What did Jesus say about judging others? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Clean up your own house before trying to impose moral standards on those that don’t accept your belief system.
Oh, by the way, the GOP promotes a culture of death. How can i say that? Very simply, 35% of all teenage pregnancies end in abortion. Many more if you impose your view on outlawing contraceptives!
Who is going to pay for the prenatal care for the mother? Who is going to pay for complications arising from pregnancy? Who is going to pay for the medical malpractice insurance? Who is going to pay for the hospital costs? Who is going to pay for daycare? Who is going to pay for feeding, clothing and housing of the child? Who is going to pay for medical, dental, vision of the child? Who is going to pay for the utilties? Who is going to pay if the child has down syndrome or is autistic? Are you?
The GOP wants to end entitlement programs for the poor, the elderly and the disabled. Many cry out about the govt. paying for such services by taxing them. They don’t want any of thier wealth to be redistributed to groups mentioned above. They want to cut Medicaid and Medicare programs, cut food stamps where the majority of recipients are children and the elderly, they want to get rid of universal healthcare, cut section 8 housing costs.
Hyprocrisy and you just can’t make this stuff up. For an example, the Alabama Republicans are escalating their war against the poor on receiving food stamps or financial support if they own cars.They can have cars if they are employed. However in some counties in Alabama, the unemployment rate is 40%. The Anti-Gay Alabama GOP governor Robert Bentley who touted his Christian faith and conservative “family values” engaged in an extramarital affair with his former communications director Rebekah Mason Christian mother of 3 using taxpayer’s expense to fund their indiscretions. Her Christian husband at the time was the director Director the Governor’s Office of Faith-based and Volunteer Service. In the mean time, he removed salary caps on his advisers while cutting Medicaid, SNAP, and teacher salaries in his state.
Why is this important? Because the GOP plans on slashing funding to Social Security, Medicaid, Food Assistance and Pell Grants. Their strategy is to call welfare recipients too lazy to work. To arouse their base against those on food stamps, make claims that people are buying lobster and champagne at check out stands. GOP passed a bill slashing $100M from food stamps while boosting farm subsidies and boosting money for crop insurance. 45 percent of food stamp benefits went to children under 18, totaling about 20 million youngsters. Nine percent of recipients were age 60 or older, and nearly 10 percent were disabled adults who were under 60.
Why is this important? If you outlaw abortion, the children will starve to death, die for lack of medical care or freeze to death for lack of clothing, heating, and housing.
Of all developed countries in the world, data on the well-being of children in 35 developed nations the United States is 34 out of 35 only Romania is the worst. The bottom 90% in the U.S. hold 73% of all debt. 1979 and 2007 incomes of the top 1% of Americans grew by an average of 275%.The richest 1 percent in the United States now own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent.
My position is you cannot legislate your version of morality on immoral society under a democracy. Prohibition didn’t work in America. It only gave rise to organized crime. So where are the plans that will address all these issues if abortion is banned? Enough with the slogans. Will not God hold the individual women responsible?
Mercy triumphs judgement James 2:13.
If a fetus is considered life, why are they not baptized and given a Christian burial by the church?
In the Christian Bible, Jesus stated: when you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just. Luke 14:12-14
