Suicidal voting: The strange case of Pro Life Evangelicals for Biden
World Tribune ^ | March 28, 2021 | R. Clinton Ohlers

Posted on 03/29/2021 7:25:32 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

Rarely do political reversals rise to the level of comedy, especially in 2021. Nevertheless, in a plaintive open letter to Joe Biden and congressional Democrats, Pro Life Evangelicals for Biden delivered in spades.

Yet, there is much more than just comedy to the story.

The source of the mirth, and what propelled the little known group to national notoriety, was Pro Life Evangelicals for Biden’s seemingly genuine shock and dismay that after publicly supporting him as a candidate, Biden now seemed to be selling them out. The House not only had excluded from the latest Covid-19 relief bill the longstanding Hyde Amendment, which prohibited federal taxpayer dollars from funding abortion, they had appropriated tens of millions for that funding. It was assumed Biden would sign.

On March 6, the group’s organizers, Richard Mouw and Ron Sider, announced being “very disappointed” and “upset.” They said, “we feel used and betrayed”....

Moreover, history was merely repeating itself, except that this time around it was doing so at the hands of the same individual fulfilling a previously stated public policy goal. The Hyde Amendment reigned from 1976 to 2021 with only one major interruption — when it was suspended by the very administration in which Biden previously served. It was President Donald Trump who reinstated it.

In this scenario, Mouw, Sider, and their 5,000 co-signers not only somehow reasoned their way into thinking that Biden, rather than Trump, was the candidate to back, now they claimed to be misled, upset that the Biden team had been dishonest with their small assemblage rather than dishonest with tens of millions of Biden’s core constituents.....

Any self-proclaimed pro-lifers who voted for Biden and now express shock and dismay his actions are either monumental liars or monumental idiots.

Their tax money will go to killing babies but at least they can ease their conscience that they virtue signaled against Bad Orange Man.

Yep. They hate Trump because his fighting spirit exposes the weakness of the surrender caucus wing of the GOP base.

I have talked to many as family,friends and acquaintances in regards to President Trump and so many have fallen for the media character assassination of all things Trump as Biden got a total pass. The typical standard asinine responses are “He’s racist,mean,homophobic,hates women” etc etc. They even assume anything bad as attributed to Trump even if it was Obama who did something like the “children in cages” that Biden doctrine is utilizing currently. It may be that half the country is politically and socially insane. There will never be a reconciliation with these people but some I know did come out of the fog but they are rare. If the DNC can get Christians to go all in with baby killing,they are truly magnificently evil.

It is a Lie that they were either Pro-Life or Evangelical.

They are simply Liars!

Pro-Life Evangelicles, now
that’s an oxymoron.

That’s alright folks. Just keep gobbling down the pap that the MSM feeds you and you’ll be just fine.
