This is no longer a “fundamentally conservative” country as Rush used to like to boast.

We have a nation of fat lazy cattle. No one will bother to read the issues themselves

They accept the advice of ‘others’

Any Christians that voted for abortion until birth have never read Matthew 7:1-2

Most of those who voted for it are likely young women, which says a lot about how they are living their lives at the moment.

Yep

They practice birth control no doubt and they don’t want to give that up

Switch the pro abortion to pro birth control and look at election results from there

Abotttoon is the final stage on any birth control plan. Without it you don’t have a birth control lifestyle.

Period.

The establishment definitely has a lot of voting machine influence. I see more Ohio county’s have been forced to go with Dominion since the 2020 elections:

With that being said, what percent of leaders at churches, Catholic of Protestant do you think speak out against abortion? In Minnesota, it is probably around 5%.

I’m sure there’s a lot more “churches” that display a rainbow flag in front than there are churches that preach against the Rainbow or against abortion.

There are many who claim the name of Christ, yet when they are judged by Him he will say “I never knew you”

I am surprised it was that low.

A majority of American Evangelicals are not what I would call Christian. When everything is about your feelings, you don’t have great theology.

Your stat is "according to exit polls conducted by the Washington Post," which only reports the voting on one religious group, which is:

About 3 in 10 voters in Ohio were White evangelical or born-again Christians, according to network exit polls, and about three-quarters of them voted against the constitutional amendment. About 7 in 10 of the larger share of those who are not White evangelicals voted in favor of the amendment. - https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/07/ohio-issue-1-exit-poll-results/#EWVVVURG4JBO5MURSHGGYSAG2E-11
Evangelical and born-again Christians as often not the same as Barna shows, but which stats, while deplorable, would means that the 75% of evangelical or born-again Christians opposed the constitutional amendment is the highest % among all religious groups, if consistent with Pres. elections in the decades past in which 80% even voted for Romney, versus the Demoncrate.

Leftists self-identifying as Evangelic Christians.

A lot of so called Christians just voted themselves a ticket to Hell.

Now find the voting by Catholics if you think 75% against abortion is the worst.

This would probably be less surprising if you knew —

- How many evangelical women have had an abortion?

- How many evangelical women know someone who has had an abortion?

>>Leaders and organizations are supposed to set the moral compass, to guide the sheep as examples in paths of clear biblical morality for His name’s sake

I don’t think that people are keen on being sheep.

Only the Lakewood NJ rabbis seem to be able to tell their flock how to vote.

Did they? Or was this another case of fraud?

One of the things that the pro-abortion side has been successful at is portraying any limitations as ‘bans’. Along with that is portraying the ‘no’ vote as implementing a full ban of not only the abortion portion, but the list of other more mundane or beneficial items included within the phrasing.

This is rude but I think it pretty much sums up the facts:

Young Christians want to screw with impunity.

And the older Christians don’t want to have to raise oopsie grandchildren.

(I’m using the term ‘impunity’ loosely.)

And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Pin this directly on evangelical “pastors” who oh so sanctimoniously intone “I don’t do politics.”

God will judge them severely.
