Lots of things were different then for the Rappin Rev.

Rule #1 of DEM party: You Must Sing The Company Song Regarding Abortion. Jackson would never have made it in his beloved party if he hadn't made the switch to the pro-abortion side.

Thank you so much for posting this!

Yeah, gonna have a hard time with this one.

Remember, this is the guy who wanted his mistress, Karin Stamford, to get an abortion for his first baby, which she did, justifying it by saying that she had cancer. She kept the second baby of this family man and reverend.

A deal with the Devil, perhaps?

Bump. Follow the money.

Thanks for the the ping! And welcome to FR! =)

A traitor to humanity, and a traitor to blacks. He helps serial killers exterminate 1% of the U.S. black population annually. Two out of every five black kids are killed before leaving their mothers' wombs. And Jesse's OK with that.

Third, I was born out of wedlock (and against the advice that my mother received from her doctor) and therefore abortion is a personal issue for me.

==============================================

I am very much pro-life, but in this case the decision turned out to be wrong.

This is an excellent post. How sad that Jackson left everything he ever believed in his quest for power.

[wafflehouse]

does anyone have a link to his current views? at Issues 2000 (see link) he has 'No stance on record'

[hillary's_fat_a**]

With the amount of money 'ol Jess is getting from Toyota alone, he could afford to pay for 50 illegitmate children. Funny though, his wife hasn't left him yet. Guess she's still drivin' her new Lexus around, though. And now we see that Karin showed up at Rev. Al's hoedown in LA...things could sure use some impovin' for 'ol Jess.

I don't remember reading about this; could you perchance source this (not that I doubt you)? Much appreciated.

There is a special place in hell for this man, particularly for his turning his back on the unborn. I can't imagine how he ever concluded that he had to abandon his pro-life views in order to rise in the DemoRatic Party. With his background and charisma, he could have easily transformed the party, either the entire party or as a prominent minority voice within. Or he could have become a Republican - imagine the power he would have had bringing the black vote with him.

Instead, he decided to sell out for seven pieces of silver.

Thank you for the Ping! Delicious Irony, but it has a very bitter after taste, like that of poison. We cannot judge men's souls, but we can judge their acts. These are the acts of a man no longer bothered by grave mortal sin.

One entry found for mortal sin.

Main Entry: mortal sin
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
: a sin (as murder) that is deliberately committed and is of such serious consequence according to Thomist theology that it deprives the soul of sanctifying grace -- compare VENIAL SIN

[anniegetyourgun]

My guess? He never had any core values to begin with. Rather like Al Gore who used to be pro-life too - and several others who sold their souls for a title.
