Donald Trump Is Not Pro-Life. His Response to COVID-19 Proves It.(Hurl Alert)
Time ^ | October 6th 2020 | David French

As Americans have begun to vote in the presidential election, one must make an important distinction in Donald Trump’s record in office. It’s entirely fair to call him nominally anti-abortion. It’s not credible to call him pro-life. And the distinction matters.

As a young pro-life activist, I still remember the publication of Pope John Paul II’s Evangelium Vitae, its words touched this Protestant’s heart, and when he rooted the pro-life principle in the “incomparable worth of the human person,” it crystalized not just my opposition to abortion but also an aspirational ethic of care for all persons – from conception to natural death.

“Life on earth,” said John Paul, “is a sacred reality entrusted to us, to be preserved with a sense of responsibility and brought to perfection in love and in the gift of ourselves to God and to our brothers and sisters.”

To be sure, it is often difficult to discern which policies are best-crafted to uphold and protect every person’s “incomparable worth” – and even well-intentioned policies can have negative effects – but it is abundantly clear that while pro-life leaders will often be forced to make tough choices, their words and deeds must be grounded in that fundamental truth.

Trump has failed this test, and his response to the Coronavirus pandemic makes that failure plain. He’s not only failed the American people, his recent conduct after he was stricken with the disease demonstrates that he has even failed his friends, colleagues and those sworn to serve him.

It’s a testament to the speed of the news cycle and the sheer number of Trump scandals that the public has apparently moved on from Bob Woodward’s revelation that Trump knew the virus was “deadly stuff” and “worse than even your strenuous flus” in early February yet continued to

Remember, these people actual think that they can write about things requiring logic.

No, make that - they think that they can think.

Remember when Dr. Fauci said in March that it’s ‘Possible’ that millions could die in US from COVID19 if mitigation guidelines set up by the Trump White House were not followed?

It was around the time that Joe Biden was calling Corona nothing but a “fear” epidemic.

Woodward was and always will be a fraud on the American
public.

As for Slime Magazine, it’ll likely be history before Trump is.

David French makes me sick. Go back to Iraq, David, and finish off your stupid war.

These people act and talk as if Trump did absolutely nothing about Covid-19, whereas the list of what he did is very long.

So this is all you can come up with in your scheme to separate President Trump from his supporters?

He’s a Kristol goon. His opinions are meaningless. Someone catching a virus isn’t the same as actively murdering an innocent person.

IOW, all pro-abortion voters need to dump Biden. See, that's how that works, a-hole.

“No, make that - they think that they can think.”

“They don’t know...and don’t know that they don’t know.” - Detroit radio talker Mark R.I.P. Scott. Thanks, marine MAGAMark.

“Inside the Criminal Mind” - Stanton Samenow (from Mark’s show)

We can think, also.

“If I had one commandment...it would be thou shalt think” - Ayn Rand (from Mark also)

What a TERRIFIC, Patriot.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw a very long time ago, “AIDS, drugs, abortion. Don’t liberals KILL you?”

David French is unhinged.
Olasky interviewed him for World magazine (most recent issue), and he cannot put together a coherent narrative. He won't vote for Trump because of "character issues", but fully supports Biden (pro-abort, pro-homosexual agenda, scandal-ridden self and family).

I think David French's character issue is with himself - zero integrity.

If these baby-killing traitorous leftists really believed what they were saying about President Trump, he would be their hero.

But these TDS-unhinged Demonicrats have simply pulled out of their keisters more lies about President to hurl at patriotic Americans to see if anything will stick.
