This is one seriously confused woman.

But her books have amply demonstrated that.

Too bad she has such a prominent and public position to demonstrate her mental and moral confusion.

I hope you will read this statement in a soft voice. It is meant to be spoken in a soft voice.

How pretentious. What theater.

Those values are most intensely expressed for me in the Gospel of Matthew, but they are expressed in all the gospels. Those values involve feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, visiting those in prison, and above all, loving one’s neighbors and loving one’s enemies. A great deal more could be said on this subject, but I feel that this is enough.

Those are all things the gospel commands YOU to do, Ann. Open your purse and do those things. The fact that you want the state to do them is the biggest cop-out of all. It is un-Christian, as it allows you to simply pay your taxes, and wash your hands of all those nasty hungry, naked people.

I am keenly aware as a Christian and as an American that the Gospels are subject to a great variety of interpretation.

And she prefers the interpretation that tells Christians to sacrifice their children to Moloch.

PLEASE be patient with her. God is not finished with her yet. You cannot reasonably expect a new Christian to come to a full and complete understanding about God’s methods in the world instantaneously. There are no instant-Sanka Christians. We are all in process. We all are learning. We all have shortfallings in various aspects of our thought. Rather than call her names like “hypocrite,” please pray that God will show her that you don’t end the horrible practice of abortion by supporting political candidates who wish to continue it.

I feel that if we are to find a solution to the horror of abortion, it will be through the Democratic Party.

I think a vampire missed your neck, bit your head, and sucked out your brains, lady.

She cannot be pro-life and be pro Hillary........that is an oxymoron! She may be swift with words but her thinking is very shallow.

I don’t think Anne has read “Screwtape Letters” just yet.

She came a long way from Vampires to Christ the Lord Out of Egypt. I really love that book. She’s a great writer. She’ll come around. She still has a long way to go on her journey.

Though I deeply respect those who disagree with me, I believe, for a variety of reasons, that the Democratic Party best reflects the values I hold based on the Gospels. Those values are most intensely expressed for me in the Gospel of Matthew, but they are expressed in all the gospels. Those values involve feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, visiting those in prison, and above all, loving one’s neighbors and loving one’s enemies. A great deal more could be said on this subject, but I feel that this is enough.

Although I respect the sincerity of Ms. Rice's Christian beliefs and her Catholic faith, I would remind her, if I ever had her ear, that Jesus never called upon the goverment to do the things she mentions here: involve feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, visiting those in prison, and above all, loving one’s neighbors and loving one’s enemies. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 13 that the governments bear the sword, not the breadbasket.

I feel we can stop the horror of abortion. But I do not feel it can be done by rolling back Roe vs. Wade, or packing the Supreme Court with judges committed to doing this. ...As a student of history, I do not think that Americans will give up the legal right to abortion. Should Roe vs Wade be rolled back, Americans will pass other laws to support abortion, or they will find ways to have abortions using new legal and medical terms.

She might be right. If Roe v. Wade were repealed and abortion went back to the States to decide, there are certainly some states that would immediately pass laws to allow for abortions within their borders (such as California) but there are states which would immediately ban it. That's fine. It's a decision the Feds never should have gotten involved in the first place.

That's kind of the point, isn't it? If RvW is overturned at least we will have the right to oppose laws legalizing it, but it will be constitutional, which RvW is not.

She is lying to sell books.

She is writing about Christ in her upcomming books.

She is showing herself as a feminist and just an absudity.

(of course it could be she is invisible to hillary)

She sincerely believes the better way to end abortions is through government nanny-statism, sanctioned by her very plausible reading of the Gospels. Nowhere in the Bible do I read that God loves 'limited government'. The door is left open to socialism, even communism.

This is where SOCONs (social conservatives/Christian conservatives) will get burned over and over. They place morality and God over the principles of liberty and the Founding Fathers. This country is FIRST about liberty.

SOCONs gave away the game when they compromised on this principle.

A President Brownback and Christian conservative Congress pass 8 years of legislation meant to 'help the needy and help society' based on the Gospels. The following term, a radical liberal gets in and, for all the same reasons and intentions, enacts laws meant to 'help the needy and help society' based on their interpretation of the same Gospels. What happened during this time? You lost your freedom. And, the laws meant to 'help the needy' did 180s, as did their ramifications. That is no kind of government.
