President of National Action Network and MSNBC PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton joined Chris Jansing Reports on Thursday to discuss abortion and religion. Sharpton didn’t understand how one could be a good Christian and be pro-life because, according to him, “the Bible is about choice.”
Jansing led Sharpton with some polling data, “there was a Gallup poll back, I think it was the fall of 2020 showing the black committee has slowly become more accepting of abortion over the past couple of decades, but there are deeply held religious beliefs playing into this, especially with older black voters who are incredibly reliable and incredibly important to Democrats. So, how should Democrats be thinking about this? Because obviously they want and need to hold onto those voters.”
Sharpton urged Democrats to “message it in a way that it is about choice. It’s not about saying I’m voting that I support abortion or not.”
For Sharpton, the choice is not between abortion and no abortion, but “whether they’re going to have a safe abortion. We always had abortions, but we had these back alley, very risky abortions and we’re saying that rather than have people in those situations, they should be able to choose whether or not they want to do, even if it is something that I do not believe in.”
Turning to the religious question, Sharpton claimed, “The Bible, if you’re using this as a religious argument, the Bible is about choice. You can go to heaven or hell. There’s nowhere in the Bible that says you had to go to heaven.”
One hopes that when presenting the question of heaven and hell to his congregation, Sharpton does not go full relativist as he did here. The man who goes around portraying himself as a civil rights leader also failed to realize that owning slaves was also once considered a perfectly normal and legal choice.
Blind to that, Sharpton continued, “So, where do we get this theology of forcing something when the reality is you can’t even Biblically base that. It’s a question of choice. If you are a minister, as I am, you can preach to people to convert them, you do not make laws to compel them.”
The doctrine of free will means that God is not a puppet master. It does not mean that government is forced to embrace the hellish side of the question, especially when it means the rights of a second individual are being taken away.
If you think about it in a certain way, the abortion term “ pro choice “ takes on a new and more ominous meaning in the biblical context of free will and sin
“the Bible is about choice.”
Stone adulteresses, burn homos, annihilate the Canaanites and Amalek, if daddy died with just daughters, his inheritance passes to them, and they have to marry within their tribe, Work on the Sabbath and you get stoned to death, etc., etc.
I choose to believe in the Bible, but where does it say in there that you can choose to kill your baby if you want. Choice is not a very big item in the Bible.

The Bible IS about choice... but it’s also about making the right choice (i.e., do not kill).
Sure wouldn’t want to THAT guy on Judgement day! Read once about false Teachers, bodies of water and millstones.
One can choose to do good or evil. The consequences of each come attached and not subject to choice.
Sharpton is a reverend like Abrams is anorexic.
“the Bible is about choice.”
the Bible is about choice WITH CONSEQUENCES.
We are given much free will, but it is not absolute, it is subject to God.
on the same note many want freedom but don’t know the whole song, just a few notes.
Freedom WITH RESPONSIBILITIES.
is that moron still alive? I haven’t heard from him or Jessie Jackson in so long, I figured he finally died of syphilis finally or something.
Actually, the bible is all about free choice. God gave us a choice to obey him or not, and there are consequences to both choices.
Satin chose poorly. And pro-abortion advocates do also.
As mark Steyn once referred to him, “that great theologian, the Reverend Al Sharpton”.
Hero of the left.
Sharpton is now and has always been a POS.
The baby is a person upon conception and it has “free will” too. I doubt it would CHOOSE to die because the mother wants her choice.
Yikes. God also gives you the choice to shoot up an elementary school....so that is okay?
Sharpton, you’d better drop on your knees and repent to a Holy and Righteous God for what you’re proclaiming.
Yes. “I put before you life and the good, death and evil. And you should choose life.” Some choice.
What he has done is consistently come down on the wrong side of an issue (Tawana Brawley, the Duke Five), stirred the pot enough to get facetime on TV, and then, when he proven absolutely wrong, he hides away like the coward he is and never admits he was wrong or issues an apology.
However, I would like to see his face more often in a court of law for tax evasion and defamation.
Yes. It is about choice.
Everyone chooses either Heaven or Hell.
Good luck false teacher. One day you may change away from the devil and Democrat party toward God.
Any “Reverend” who claims Jesus would support the MURDER of unborn babies isn’t even trying to act as if they actually believe in Christianity - PERIOD!
At that point, they are strictly preaching about getting your rewards in THIS world - PERIOD!
