And what would Jesus actually do about abortion?
How comfortable would you be with a law that stated every pregnant mother was to be cared for until her child was born, at tax payers’ expense?
Wouldn’t fly with conservatives at all.
You see, conservatives rightly condemn abortion, and rightly want to outlaw it. But I see very few that open their homes to unwed mothers and care for them and their children. Oh, there are plenty who would condemn them. But few who would put their money where their mouth is.
You call into a trap when you try to pick an issue and take a simplistic, non-real-world stand on it. Jesus came for this world, to redeem it. His ways are neither conservative nor liberal. He will not fall into that trap.
Further, the very idea that the solution to our problems can be fixed with more or less government, or one party over another, is pure heresy. Jesus and his Gospel are the only things that can save this world. Nothing else can, and placing our trust and hopes in the “right” kind of government (as many conservatives and liberals do) is idolatrous.
So are you saying you favor abortion?
Incidentally, there are many organizations that care for pregnant unwed mothers without taxpayer assistance. Those are usually girls who have been counseled first, and they know they don’t want to kill the innocent child. They see the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat, and they choose life.
I will dare to say Jesus would oppose killing the babies.
You sound very bitter toward pro-life people and conservative churches.
That is silly. Jesus would look at the pregnant woman and say “Go and sin no more.” Killing an innocent life is sinning, so I’m pretty sure he’d tell her not to. And why does “taxpayer expense” come into it? What about individual responsibility for your actions? He was pretty big on that too. (You know, every one of us will give an account for ourselves and all that.)
