I’ve long found it interesting when people who identify as Christian support abortion on demand. The Bible is perfectly clear about the sanctity of life. To be clear, abortions on demand are not typically due to a medical complication like the pro-abortion commercials on television. The fact is, the overwhelming reason why women get an abortion is because they don’t want their baby that’s growing inside their womb.
I also find it discouraging when I learn of “so called” Christian churches and prominent “so called” Christian leaders who support Kamala Harris and her abortion on demand agenda. There’s absolutely nothing Christian about murdering an innocent baby in the womb.
Recently, I learned of a group called “Evangelicals for Harris” which in itself is shocking enough, but perhaps more shocking, this group has been endorsed by the late evangelist Billy Graham’s granddaughter, Jerushah Duford. Her mother is Virginia Graham Tchividjian, Billy Graham’s eldest daughter. This organization actually used images and quotes of Billy Graham in support of Kamala Harris’ and her liberal political agenda. Franklin Graham, Billy Graham’s son, spoke out strongly against the use of Billy Graham’s images and quotes by this organization in this way. Franklin stated that his “father appreciated the conservative values and policies of President DonaldTrump in 2016, and if he were alive today, my father’s views and opinions would not have changed.”
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Ecclesiastes 10:2
In the meantime, Jerushah Duford continues to attempt to frame her political preferences as biblical and express her “hope” that fellow evangelicals will join in with her to support Kamala Harris. She calls Donald Trump out for his sins, while propping Kamala Harris up as the only viable good choice. As if Donald Trump’s sins are tantamount and Kamala Harris’ sins are non existent. Jerushah Duford purports that Harris is the only candidate that “embodies” the virtues of humility, justice, and love. Oh really?! All while Kamala Harris touts an agenda made up of the most extreme radical secular policies, and the most aggressive pro-abortion agenda in the history of any U.S. presidential candidate to date. Simply put, Kamala Harris’ policies and agendas are a direct assault against Christianity, and not the “Christianity” of Evangelicals for Harris or Jerushah Duford, but the Christianity of the Bible.
Now I know that there’re many other important issues in this year’s presidential election, but I believe the issue of abortion is by far the most important issue, as it involves the life and death of the most vulnerable among us, babies in their mother’s wombs. Kamala Harris and her supporters have zero authority over life and death. God, and His Son Jesus Christ are the only authors of life and of death.
“You killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. We are witnesses to this.” Acts 3:15
And to this people you shall say: “Thus says the Lord: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.” Jeremiah 21:8
As for me, I believe it all comes down to who and what you believe. Do you believe in the God of the Bible and in the truth of His word, or do you believe in the god of this world and in the lies of the devil?
Some Pro-abortion lies:
Lie # 1. “My body, my choice.”
A Feminist slogan, circa 1969, adopted by today’s Democratic Party, and this year’s “selected, not elected” Democratic candidate for the President of the United States, Kamala Harris.
The truth is, your body is not your own.
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”1 Corinthians 6:19–20
Each of us are created in the image of God, regardless of circumstances; we are intentionally distinct from the rest of all creation. We also have inherent value, dignity, and uniqueness of human life, regardless of age or stage of development, including babies in the womb.
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27
Lie #2 “Reproductive Healthcare”
A catchphrase for those who want the freedom to abort babies upon demand, anytime, anywhere, and for any reason.
The truth is, it’s not healthcare; it’s the exact opposite of healthcare. It’s the killing of a baby in the mother’s womb.
Healthcare is NOT found in an abortion facility.
But, truth IS found in God’s word:
“You shall not murder.” Exodus 20:13
God hates …. “haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,” Proverbs 6:17
Lie #3 “If you cannot control when and how you choose to bring your children in this world,…there is no American dream.” Oprah Winfrey speaking at the 2024 Democrat Convention about “autonomy” and access to reproductive rights.
Being famous and wealthy doesn’t necessarily make one wise or correct. Life and death is under the authority of God, not women who declare that it’s their right to “control” the life and death of their children. It’s no wonder that Oprah is under the impression that the “control” of life and death of a baby is a right. Oprah Winfrey, the same woman who declared publicly in 2008 on her popular television show that “there are many paths to what you call God” and “there couldn’t possibly be just one way.” Her promotion of her pagan philosophy of “multiple paths to God” and the book, “A Course in Miracles” is pure heresy. Oprah does not speak for the God of the Bible.
It’s my prayer, regardless of the outcome of this years presidential election, that God will grant Kamala Harris, Jerushah Duford, Oprah Winfrey, and all those who support abortion on demand, the gift of saving grace:
A saving grace that brings them to faith in Jesus Christ alone.
A saving grace that reveals the sin in their life, and brings them to repentance.
A saving grace that looks to God and His infallible word as the final authority on how we all should live our lives.
And,
A saving grace that says, “No” to the world and, “Yes” to God.
“And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11
“For he who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord. But he who sins against me injures himself; all those who hate me love death.” Proverbs 8:35–36
