You can’t hide the truth: The Republican Party is not a pro-life party or a family values party.
Here is a false narrative: Trump is better for the economy and I can’t vote for Joe Biden because I am pro-life and he is pro-choice. Many of my Christian neighbors have told me they cannot in good faith vote for Joe Biden because he believes in choice and will allow women to have abortions in the United States.
Many other Christians believe they are following God’s plan by allowing women to have the free will to choose and when they do, it is the Creator’s judgement alone that counts, not ours. They believe it is wrong to assume the role of the Creator, and to create laws that deny others from choosing. They believe the Creator gave each of us the unalienable free will to choose and they alone shall be subject to his judgement.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, wants to stop all abortions in the United States by his authority and dominate over the free will of all American women to choose. Let’s be perfectly clear, Donald Trump is pro-birth, not pro-life. He wants nothing to do with the lives of the children after the birth. In addition, he and top Republican officials have stated publicly that we must sacrifice the lives of some seniors and risk the lives of some schoolchildren for the good of the nation. They are not pro-life. They have diminished the value of the lives of our fellow senior Americans and our own school-age children, and are willing to risk their lives for a good stock market/economy. These Trump Republicans have diminished the humanity of all Americans. They are not pro-life, and they have no respect for your life either.
The irony is, in the end, Trump’s coronavirus policy will destroy many lives in America and wreck the American economy as well. They can’t connect the fact that the economy is tied into coronavirus policy. America is being judged by our values; do we value life, the money market, or a policy that slowly balances the recovery of both?
Give us steady Joe. Save lives, the economy and keep your free will. Joe helped save us in 2008 and he can help us again in 2021. Use your voice now and be sure to vote. And vote for Joe.
