Kamala Harris Claims Religion Has Nothing To Do With Abortion

Vice President Kamala Harris made the absurd claim that Americans don’t need to compromise their religious values to be pro-abortion.

While claiming to be a devout Catholic, Harris declared that getting an abortion, i.e. killing an innocent life, has nothing to do with God or religious beliefs.

When asked what Harris would say “to someone who understands why abortion should be a personal decision between a pregnant person and whomever else they decide to include in the conversation but believes they can't reconcile it with their faith?” Harris responded that the decision should only involve the pregnant woman’s decision.

“That's such an important point to raise," Harris said, adding “it is her choice and it should be her choice to make, if she chooses a consultation with a loved one, with a healthcare provider, with her faith leader.”

Harris then said a woman should not have to decide between religion and abortion.

“I say this… one does not have to abandon their faith or their beliefs to agree that the government should not be making that decision for her. It’s that basic,” Harris declared.

Many pro-choice Democrats take a hypocritical stance on the issue, fully aware that the Catholic Church condemns abortion.

In July, Harris made another similar statement, claiming that Americans do not need to abandon their faith to support abortion.

“It’s important to note that to support a woman’s ability — not her government, but her — to make that decision does not require anyone to abandon their faith or their beliefs,” Harris said.

On a separate occasion, the vice president said “for those of us of faith, I think that we agree, many of us, that there’s nothing about this issue that will require anyone to abandon their faith or change their faith.”

Earlier this week, President Joe Biden tweeted where he stands on the subject of abortion.

“My dad used to say, ‘Joey, don’t compare me to the Almighty. Compare me to the alternative.’ And here’s the deal: Democrats want to codify Roe. Republicans want a national abortion ban. The choice is clear,” Biden’s tweet read.

Religion is one thing... a Christian.. one who follows Jesus and knows what the Bible says.. abortion is murder.. “thou shalt not” category.. harming a little one.. “thou shalt not”. And anyone who could kill a baby has lost their feelings... stone cold heart. No soul.. no conscience..

Jesus said to Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 1:5

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.
Before you were born I set you apart
and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”

Naw. Religion has nothing to do with killing God’s creation./sarc

What am I to follow, God’s word or the word of a c-m dumpster?

"Vice President Kamala Harris made the absurd claim that Americans don't need to compromise their religious values to be pro-abortion."

A statement like this proves that she doesn't even believe in God. How else would you explain such brazen boldness. Leftists only talk religion in attempts to get votes.

I said “Who knew?”, so I knew she wasn’t Catholic.

She’s a Baptist-Hindu married to a Jew!

It’s not unusual for a Baptist-Hindu Dim—or other types of Dim hybrids—to support abortion and even infanticide!!!!

She may be right. But followers of Jesus Christ and of YHWY are not following a religion.

You're right, along with my other critics in this thread. I retract the post.

Don't post when exhausted.

They way I always explain it as. What is that “magic” time when it’s a human life?

You mean to tell me literally a millisecond ago it wasn’t a viable life, and now it is? How do you determine that? You can’t, so at the very least why don’t we err on the side of caution? Even an atheist could understand that.

It's in the 14th amendment, section 1, I think.

No Person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law...
