... In fact, some clinic workers and religious abortion advocates in the southeasternU.S. told that it's their faith, not a lack , that fuels their support for a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy.
One example is Ramona, an employee at West Alabama Women’s Center, who claimed her "trust in God" is what led her to the clinic, where she tends to patients who have undergone abortion procedures.
She and her fellow coworkers, "most of them black, deeply faithful Christian women," claimed they have no trouble reconciling their work with their religious beliefs.
"God is on our side, they tell each other. God will keep this clinic open," the AP reported following interviews with the clinic's staff of 11.
The clinic's director, Alesia Horton, dismissed the protesters who often demonstrate outside the building holding Christian banners and signs with Bible verses on them. "I don’t know what Bible they’re reading, 'cause it’s not the one that I read," she said.
....But abortion advocate Kendra Cotton, a religious member of the Black Southern Women’s Collective, a coalition of black women organizers, claims most Christians are missing the point.
She told the AP, "We need to have a real conversation about what we describe as Christianity." The news agency then paraphrased her words to assert that "the white evangelical worldview that abortion is murder has consumed the conversation, flattening the understanding of how religion and views on abortion truly intersect."
Cotton then loosely and irresponsibly strung together a range of biblical themes in an attempt to support her support for abortion: "We know that Christianity supports freedom, and inherent in freedom is bodily autonomy. Inherent in Christianity is free will. When people talk about the body being a temple of God, you have purview over your body, there is nothing more sacred."

“How can ANY CHRISTIAN claim ‘God in on our side’ when they kill babies?”
For them to believe that they would have to believe that killing innocent babies is a divine attribute.
Anyone who claims to be a Christian while advocating murder of innocent and helpless preborn human beings is committing both heresy and blasphemy.
A preborn’s body is temporarily within the mother’s body, but is not part of the mother’s body (as is an organ or appendage): From the moment of conception, it is a distinct genetic human being, the diploid result of the merging of a haploid male gamete and a haploid female gamete.
The preborn child has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness too.
This is how leftards work. Reality and fact mean nothing to them. They ignore both, and put forth their warped version of the world, ignoring both. They ignore anything you say, and stick with the warped reality of those sharing their beliefs. You’ll never reach them. I suspect when they wake up in the lake of fire they still will believe what they want to believe.
Don’t scab for the bosses,
Don’t listen to their lies,
Poor folks ain’t got a chance,
Unless they organize.
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Satan must be laughing his tail off. It’s truly diabolical when these people try to pass off fetal homicide as a Christian, moral “choice.” Nancy Pelosi does the same thing, throwing around phrases like “sacred” and “free will.” Yes, you have “free will” to murder someone, but that doesn’t mean that society should permit you to exercise your “free will” in that manner.
The same sort of pseudo-Christian lies are now commonly spouted with respect homosexuality. As that goes, the latest thing is that only does Christianity NOT prohibit homosexual acts, it practically *requires* them as a celebration of God’s love and benevolence or some such nonsense.
“How can ANY CHRISTIAN”
Actions speak louder than words.
Simply put... These ain’t Christians.
The Left and pro-abortion advocates to claim and assert all the want to the contrary but fact is fact: abortion is nothing more than legalized murder.
They mean their god, not the one true and living God. We must pray that their eyes and spirits are awakened from the deception they’re believing in.
Barbarians.
Fake Christians for whom Satan is their god.
Nor with voting Democrat (as do a near majority of Catholics). However, based upon what Scripture teaches, then:
If the product of conception is human, then it falls under “Thou shalt not murder.” And so it is:
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him [manslaughter]; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief [intentional murder] follow, then thou shalt give life for life, (Exodus 21:22-23)
Thou shalt not kill [murder]. (Exodus 20:13)
And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. (Genesis 16:11)
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb [in her sixth month]; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: (Luke 1:41) For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. (Luke 1:44)
And that from a child [same Greek word for “babe” above] thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:15)
If abortion isn’t murder, what is it?
That type of “Christian” has never become a Christian, only they have taken the label, and now live a lie.
They’re actually more common than the committed Christian.
1 John 4:20
“20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.”
Hey, alleged Christians. What can be more hateful than killing a baby?

A new weasel word to add to my weasel word dictionary.
Verb
Used to denote
1. Diminishing
2. Enhancing
3. To Promote
4. To Restrict
People don’t want to be seen as being on the wrong side. That’s why pro-aborts scream so loudly in support of something they won’t defend if anyone disagrees.
Very true. Simply put…liberals ignore reason and truth and make decisions based of personal feelings alone. If they “feel” something is true then, to them, it is true.
