President Joe Biden, a pro-abortion Democrat who professes to be Catholic, encouraged Americans to respect their “fellow human beings” Thursday during the National Prayer Breakfast. His comments come days after forcing Americans to fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
The president was one of several Democrat and Republican politicians who spoke during the 69th annual event, which was held virtually this year due to the coronavirus, according to the Catholic News Agency.
Biden’s remarks and his first actions as president contrast sharply with those of President Donald Trump who, during the 2019 National Prayer Breakfast, condemned abortion by calling on society to cherish “the dignity and sanctity of innocent human life.”
In his taped remarks Thursday, Biden spoke about the challenges of the pandemic, political unrest and racial injustice in America, CNA reports.
“For so many in our nation, this is a dark, dark time,” Biden said. “So where do we turn? Faith.”
He urged Americans to unite as the country works to stop the coronavirus, and encouraged people to recognize that the dying are not Democrats or Republicans but “fellow Americans, fellow human beings,” according to the Religion News Service.

“This is not a nation that will stand by and simply watch this,” Biden said. “That is not who we are. That is not who faith calls us to be. In this moment we cannot be timid or tired. There is too much work to do. It is by our work and not just our words that we are going to be judged.”
But many have lamented that Biden’s words about unity, compassion for fellow human beings and his Catholic faith do not match his actions.
In one of his first acts as president, Biden repealed Trump’s efforts to protect unborn babies and mothers through the Mexico City Policy. In doing so, Biden restored taxpayer funding to some of the largest abortion groups in the world, groups that abort millions of unborn babies every year and pressure pro-life countries to legalize abortions.
Not only did the act contradict Biden’s supposedly devout Catholic faith, it also detracted from his calls to unity. A January Marist poll found that a strong majority of Americans (77 percent), including Republicans and Democrats, oppose taxpayer funding for abortions overseas.
In contrast, Trump, who condemned abortion at the 2019 prayer breakfast, defended unborn babies in both his words and actions.
“We must build a culture that cherishes the dignity and sanctity of innocent human life,” Trump said at the 2019 event. “As the Lord says in Jeremiah, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart.’”
He also slammed the governors of New York and Virginia for promoting abortions up to birth and infanticide. And he called on Congress to pass a ban on late-term abortions to protect unborn babies who are capable of feeling pain.
In action, Trump defunded Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups through his Mexico City and Title X policies, cut off taxpayer funding to research using aborted baby body parts, protected pro-life medical workers from being forced to help abort unborn babies, nominated pro-life judges to federal courts and more.
Biden Barf Alert Ping
Joseph Stolen is a lying SOS.
Typical Democrat Doublespeak. if it weren’t for lies, they’d have nothing to say.
President Le Petomane says whatever is on the script they give him.
Ask him tomorrow and he won’t know what you’re talking about.
Senile Joe’s words mean nothing.
A real douche.
Screw you, you vile. evil man!
Being lectured by a pervert is not my cup of tea.
No contradiction here.
Joe Biden believes that the pre-born are NOT human.
Biden’s a “cafeteria Catholic.”
He picks and chooses to believe in only those issues that are in HIS best interests.....issues that get him elected.
Worse than him are any Catholic clergy who showed up to the event. How could they dine with a Satanist?
For him life starts when they’re old enough to sniff.
Does anyone believe anything this smirking old geezer says?
<><> For 40+ years he fingered, sniffed and molested.
<><>With not one bit of compassion he created 125,000 more prison cell’s for Hillary’s super Black predators in 1994.
<><> He has lied, stolen taxpayer money and given it to his family.
<><> They want him in court in Ukraine, and there is corruption with China.
<><> He reads off the words his staff writes, but has no idea of what is going on.
Tell me something he has done for this country. Anything, even one thing.
Then you realize-----this is his daughter, Ashley.
Sick is what climbs the dem latter.
For any true Christian, “faith” is meaningless without context. It is not an end unto itself. What matters is who the object of that faith is. These leftist politicians, who actually hate God, and see genuine faith in Him as a challenge to their power, only pay lip service when necessary by appealing to this nebulous “faith.” They will never mention reliance upon God, and they certainly will never ever say the name, “Jesus” (not “inclusive”).
Hearty Pujol chuckle pfffft
Dem voters operate on feelings, not on thinking. They have no problem with cognitive dissonance.
The white liberal uses American tax dollars to go into foreign countries and abort the infants of dark skinned women. Biden is a white supremacist, committing genocide.
