Rep. James Clyburn (D.-S.C.), the majority whip and third-ranking Democrat in the House, whose 2020 voting record received a 100-percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America, put out a statement last week quoting the Gospel of Matthew on how we should “treat the least among us.”
Clyburn serves as the chair of the Democratic Faith Working Group. […]
When the Supreme Court issued its ruling overturning Roe v. Wade last year, Clyburn sent out a tweet condemning the ruling. “Outlawing abortion will increase the already heightened risk of death for the most vulnerable in our communities,” he said.
When he put out his statement about his chairing the Democratic Faith Working Group, Clyburn cited a passage from the Gospel of Matthew.
“Matthew 25:45 warns that we will be judged by how we treat the least among us,” said Clyburn. “I look forward to leading the House Democratic efforts to meet that expectation by using our faith-based perspectives to inform and guide our policies.” …

Like the unborn who by definition are innocent and weak.
I just cannot stand it anymore.
The Lord, he uses the good ones. The bad ones use the Lord
It would seem that at least one verse in the Bible just flew over his head with a mighty beating of its wings.
You can be a Christian or you can support infanticide, but not both.
Satan and his faithful know Scripture and they know it well enough to twist it and change it, slightly, and urge us to latch on.
Frankly, the devil and his faithful know the Bible better than we do. Satan has studied it for thousands of years, and he forges the sharp sword of Scripture that discerns truth into a grenade that explodes lies and cuts and kills those near to it.
Abortions have been allowed if a mom is likely to get killed by her baby.
Humans, including pregnant moms, have the inherent right of self-defense against those likely to kill them.
“The death of a woman during pregnancy, at delivery, or soon after delivery is a tragedy for her family and for society as a whole. Sadly, about 700 women die each year in the United States as a result of pregnancy or delivery complications.”

There is no such thing as that.
Not buying the CDC’s propaganda, sorry.
He has been warned, but obviously does not understand the warning.
The CDC flags are signs to seek out medical care.
In themselves, they do not justify baby murder.
The CONTEXT of that passage is the separating the sheep from the goats.
Being born again is the issue. Either you are, or you are not: and your actions (spiritual fruit) are indicative.
Who indeed are the least of these? Is it women for whom pregnancy is an inconvenience easily remedied? Or is it the children destroyed by thoughtless acts of unbearable cruelty?
“There is no doubt that abortion is necessary to save the life of a woman when she is at a previable gestation, usually before 23 or 24 weeks, or has a very growth-restricted fetus at a slightly later gestation, for example with a 300-gram fetus at 24 or 25 weeks, and the mother has a life-threatening condition which can only be improved by delivery.
“This can occur in the context of severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, with bleeding from placenta previa or abruption, or with preterm ruptured membranes with infection (chorioamnionitis). This was demonstrated very clearly in the widely reported case of Savita Halappanavar. Savita was a 31-year-old woman living in Ireland who developed infection after her waters broke at 17 weeks. Termination of pregnancy was refused by her treating doctors, in the interests of preserving the life of the fetus, and she died the next day.”
Abortion can be medically necessary, but rarely was.
“Get thee behind me, Satan.”
Even Satan can quote Scripture.
The party of death, perversion, madness and Marxist comprehensions about put near everything.
Yep.
In the past I have pointed out that even if all abortions were illegal in the very rare case in question, since the medical evaluation of necessity is in fact objectively medically reviewable after the fact, an abortion could happen under the same common law justification for using lethal force to save the life of another from an attacker.
