The so-called “religious right” spent October 2016 telling Christians to hold their noses & vote for Trump—despite hearing him confess to sexual assault on Hollywood Access tapes—because he would nominate “pro-life judges.”
This is Trump’s attempt to deliver. But a Supreme Court Justice who would reverse every legal decision Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg sought to defend is not “pro-life.”
In her commitment to biblical justice, Ginsburg sought to protect & defend life when she advocated for women’s rights, voting rights, immigrants’ rights, environmental protections, & constraints on corporate greed. A just society where all life can flourish was her constant goal.
When the Faith & Freedom Coalition, Susan B. Anthony’s List, or Catholics for Trump claim that Trump or his Supreme Court nominee are the “most pro-life” in history, their lie cannot go unchallenged. Over 200,000 ppl have died because of Trump’s failed response to the pandemic.
Tens of millions of Americans have lost health insurance that was tied to their employment during an economic crisis that has disproportionately impacted the most marginalized in our society.
The Trump administration is still trying to overturn the Affordable Care Act, and the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear their arguments again on November 10th - the week after the presidential election.
In the Christian faith, none of this is pro-life.
In the Christian faith, none of this is pro-life.
In the Christian faith, none of this is pro-life. The single issue of abortion has been used to distort our conversation about faith in public life& the orgs committed to pushing this issue have been allowed to speak as the sole representatives of “faith voters” for far too long.
In the tradition of the prophet Isaiah which says, “[c]ome, let us reason together,” this moment is an opportunity for a public debate on what it means to be “pro-life.”
And when that debate takes place, it is the responsibility of every media outlet, candidate, and campaign to remind voters that these corporate-funded advocacy groups do not represent the views of the majority of Christians in this country.
Clergy and faith leaders are coming together in Washington, DC, on Tuesday 9/29 to Remember Ruth and Breonna and say it’s time to Rise Up and Vote.
