In defending House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s pro-abortion stances, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough suggested Tuesday that Jesus Christ was not against abortion.
The MSNBC host accused pro-life activists of “dragging the politics of abortion up into the altar of the church,” noting that the Southern Baptist Church, to which he says he belongs, was “effectively pro-choice until 1980.”
“This wasn’t about Jesus. It was about politics. That was the rise of the moral majority in 1980, bringing abortion politics into the pews of Republican-leaning churches,” he said.
Scarborough then claimed that Jesus “never once mentioned” abortion in the gospels, though most religions holds that abortion is the killing of an unborn child and that an abortion is against the fifth commandment: “Thou shalt not kill.”
“Now, the Catholic Church, mind you, has focused on abortion a bit longer,” he said. “But how disconcerting that religious leaders in that church would deny communion to faithful members of their congregation over a political issue that Jesus never once mentioned in the gospels, despite the fact that abortion was both a political and philosophical issue in ancient Greece and in Rome and when Jesus was alive.”
The MSNBC host emphasized that “Jesus did address most other things that touch our lives.”
“He told his disciples in Matthew 25 that we would be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven if we gave water to the thirsty, fed the hungry, clothed the poor, and brought hope to the hopeless,” Scarborough insisted. “We were to lead with forgiveness and love.”

I remember something about millstones, necks and long swims in deep water...
Jesus ‘Never Once Mentioned’ AbortionJesus pre-dates forceps and vacuum tubes.
One who hurts these little ones better for him for a millstone to be tied around his neck and thrown into the sea. Just for one I mean killing babies that was mentioned Herod did it it certainly wasn’t a approved of its murder plain and simple.
“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”
(Psalm 127:3-5).
What a maggot.
Scarborough is a real CLOWN.

HOW MANY BABIES HAVE YOU HELPED BE MURDERED???
Did Jesus ever mention the word murder, and yet it exists today. Society had not developed to the point where unscrupuless men would reach into a woman’s body and mutilate the tiny human developing inside of her yet and Scarborough realizes that.

That’s the kind of jejune point a high school student might make - until he learns what the argument from silence fallacy is (such arguments prove nothing).
That’s true dumbbell Joe. But he had a lot to say against murder, which is what abortion is.
