First Baptist Dallas pastor Robert Jeffress is standing behind Donald Trump's comments on abortion.
Jeffress is in Donald Trump's corner when it comes to comment he made earlier in the week. This was first reported by NBC 5's media partners at The Dallas Morning News. ... "Look, pro lifers who criticize that comment either are doing so because they really don't believe their rhetoric that abortion is murder, or they are so blinded by hatred for Donald Trump they are not able to think logically," said Jeffress.
Asked if he thinks a woman should be punished for getting an abortion, should abortion be outlawed at some point, Jeffress said the following. ...

What a joke this man is.
Christ will spit out the lukewarm church.
Anyone who stands by supporters of baby killing is definitely of the lukewarm church...
Pastor Robert Jeffress Stands by Donald Trump’s FIRST Comment on Abortion
There... made it more accurate.
Trump has flipped on the first comment and then flopped back. I’m not sure what he stands for anymore.
The first one that shows it cares about the women will be the first to get the women to ally with it.
One can deal in vinegar but that gets a very small group of flies.
Same reason moonshine is. Too hard for the government to tax.
Should the person who hires a hitman to commit a murder escape blame because they didn’t literally pull the trigger?
So, Cruz and Kasich, not only use weasel words not to blame the woman, but then criticize Trump’s comments that the woman should be held accountable, but that’s all acceptable. I agree Trump should not have walked back his first comments, but at the most that puts him on parr with Cruz and Kasich.
At least Trump didn’t give us the canned answer of the pro-life-March-once-a-year crowd and forget about it the rest of the year. I’m not making fun of the March for Life. I’m just saying that they have been doing this year after year without getting anything done. At least Donald got a discussion going. And I really don’t like the answer that the woman is not responsible for her actions or has been punished enough.
If there was a legitimate discussion, then maybe something would be accomplished and not just the “I’m-pro-life” label for GOP politicians running for office.
I agree. Murder is murder.
The first time I heard about partial birth abortion, I just knew they had to be exaggerating. I couldn’t believe anyone would allow that in the USA. I was totally wrong. We need to find out what the USA is willing to do about abortion. Poland just outlawed it. What are we willing as a society to say about abortion.
“No one who truly believes that abortion should be banned or restricted would say that since it would mean putting 1.2 million women each year on trial for murder.”
That’s ridiculous.
Criminalize it and make it a capital crime, and the number will drop to a few hundred.
We have that much rope.
Thanks FR_addict.
Yep. But, sadly, in most cases, the goal is not to actually get anywhere or accomplish anything. It’s to keep the deadlock in place and, consequently, the donations flowing.
“The first one that shows it cares about the women will be the first to get the women to ally with it.”
Which is why women should not have the vote.
The one who is truly solicitous of women will criminalize abortion, because that is what is actually better for women.
Spoken like a woman that thinks she has no part in making babies.
I believe there are moral arguments against prostitution (I Corinthians 6:15-16 comes to mind) which don't directly address the possible production of bastard children.
We have managed to limit the immediate harm. There used to be nightmare stories of children of prostitution who were loathed and hated and quite often inspired into a life of crime if not also exploitation.
I think the influx of illegal aliens/human trafficking has (unfortunately) filled up this void.
I take it the real issue for you is he doesn't support Cruz.
“Criminalize it and make it a capital crime,”
Abortion will never be outlawed in this country. That ship has sailed long ago. Better to form a national movement for adoption. A start would be to severely restrict overseas adoption.
“Abortion will never be outlawed in this country.”
I am old enough to remember when it was said that abortion will never be legal in this country.
It will be illegal, and it will happen as suddenly as its legalization.
Eventually, natural law will prevail once again, on this issue. It may take 200 years, as did the slavery issue and its aftermath and over correction.
But birth control is the center issue.
It has no place. It is just disordered
Yes...some are afraid that being anti abortion will make them the laughing stock of others; they should be more concerned about being judged by God, for He will hold people accountable for the murder of the unborn..
Trump and Jeffress are right.
“A start would be to severely restrict overseas adoption.”
The reason overseas adoption happens so often is that limp-wristed, one-worlder, gun-fearing, pansy-assed, chicken-choking, globalist, metrosexual, Twinkie-addled, Starbucks-sipping, Dixie-Chicks-admiring, godless, pierced-nose, Volvo-driving, America-hating, France-loving, tofu-chomping, pickle-smooching, neo-Nazi pedophile vegan weenie perverts have made it so difficult to adopt here in the States.
Administer adoption properly and rationally, and the problem will largely disappear—except, of course, for brain-dead entertainment industry dembeciles.
Trump’s pre-recorded comments for the Sunday shows tomorrow will say that he does not think that abortion laws should be changed. But he accuses pro-lifers - - he said last time that pro-lifers want to punish the women, incorrectly. He is effectively slandering us. He is just all over the map. It’s impossible for someone to follow what he says and logically agree with him. You have to admit that he is a mess on a lot of issues. Not good presidential material. But, to some people, who cares? And the good pastor, how can he be so sure Roe vs. Wade will be overturned in ten or Twenty Years? Best to leave difficult issues to people who have worked through them.
