“ You cannot be an “Outspoken Conservative Christian” and support abortion rights. It’s like Orthodox Jewish people supporting Nazi’s.”

I guess Zelinsky isn’t exactly Orthodox…

That changed em both. They became big advocates for abortion. When we asked them why??? He told us that he’d rather see em be legally destroyed in the womb than to illegally have to fight and kill em in the streets 20 years later.... The wife an I just walked away shaking our heads.

There are lot more people out there who call themselves "conservatives", and always vote Republican that think this way than people think. Republican doesn't necessarily mean "Pro Life". I know a few like this, and while they would never vote Rat, they roll their eyes when they see Pro-Lifers.

Obviously, they were only posing as conservatives and Christians.

Wake me up when they run a story about a liberal Democrat who opposes abortion. There must be a few out there

The media lies. About everything all the time. I am surprised they didn’t say, “they became progressive democrats because of the January 6th deadly insurrection”

In this case I prefer the term murdered. Unless I missed it the one option they were not given was neonatal hospice. It is a growing field. The article gave me the impression that the doctors pushed the couple towards abortion by emphasizing that if the baby survived her life would be surgery after surgery all of which would very painful for her.

Didn't they get the message from Hollywood that time spent with family is either mind-numbingly boring or painfully argumentative?

They should be happy to get some time free from their family.

They certainly got the utilitarian and selfish individualism message that Hollywood spouts out 24/7.

Personally I have never considered murder or genocide a conservative value.

Others may think differently of course.

Conservative Christian my foot!

She said, "I was raised in a very conservative family and have always considered myself aligned with the Republican party, but I have always been pro-choice," she added, "We do come from a conservative Christian background, but we also come from a place of empathy and compassion and non-judgment."

Hartle claimed that she and her husband, Matt, were concerned for their future daughter when they learned that Roe v Wade had been reversed. When Hartle learned about her fetus' health issues, she was 14 weeks pregnant but hadn't thought about having the pregnancy terminated. Early scans had revealed a growing, healthy fetus. She found out she was having a girl about 12 weeks into her pregnancy. Hartle stated that the doctor informed her that "her heart is not what we want it to look like" at her subsequent examination.

Hartle claims that after establishing the severity of her fetus' condition, her doctors informed her that infants with HLHS often need at least three open-heart surgery. The infant would still require a heart transplant even after those operations, and probably more down the road as donors' hearts don't survive forever. "We decided that the best thing for our particular case and our particular daughter, Ivy Grace, was to just give her the most peaceful possible way to heaven and to be healed and to be free and never feel a moment's pain," Hartle told People.

Who is Jill Hartle? Former Miss South Carolina was forced to carry unviable fetus until 25 weeks-Nov 15, 2022

The more I hear this virtue signaling, regardless of topic, the more I am reminded of the term, “Crime against nature”. I think these people, deep down inside know that these things such as abortion, homosexuality, drag shows, transgenderism, etc. are wrong. These things are unnatural. And the people who are in the newspapers and on the internet announcing their dirty laundry about their abortions do so because they seek the solace that comes from having others agree with them. I think they believe it provides some sort of comfort believing that everyone is in agreement with you. But the whole world can be in agreement, and still be wrong.

Maybe it’s the conscience? IDK. Sometimes when I hear about some of the things that the left does, I get the feeling of wrongness and unbalance deep inside in my heart of hearts. I can’t imagine that I am the only person who has this feeling. It is almost undefinable, and I struggle to but it into words even as I write it. I believe that these people feel this too and this is why they seek comfort in public opinion for their bad actions and feelings. So much is about doing whatever it is that we want to do without consideration for the costs to others. If the world is telling you that your bad acts are ok, you aren’t a bad person, you didn’t do a bad thing, and the costs imposed on other people don’t matter, then that feeling of wrongness from your conscience is unjustified. Ultimately, this therapy is costly, because it rips you from God and the nature of the world.

So, at Holy Mass earier my pastor was talking about the Incarnation and how God came to us as a baby. He said "Who doesn't love a baby?"

Unfortunately, many, believe it or not, don't love babies.

Never a Christian and never a conservative. People don’t switch that way. It’s like being mature and responsible and then turning immature and irresponsible.

God will judge this woman and honestly I have hope she will never have another pregnancy. She had an abortion for convenience of not having to deal with a possible sick child. Period.
