The Democratic party’s recent attempts to use the Bible to defend their pro-abortion policies are nothing short of hypocritical. The most recent example of this was when Michigan Democratic Rep. Hillary Scholten opposed the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires doctors to perform life-saving measures on babies who survive abortions.
Scholten, like many of her Democratic colleagues, believes infanticide is a woman’s “choice” and used her so-called “pro-choice Christian” values to justify it.
Scholten’s statements and actions are completely contradictory. She talked about her unborn daughter and called her a “she,” knowing that she was a child, not a “clump of cells.” But then she still advocated for abortion, claiming to be a “pro-choice Christian.” This is not only misguided, but it’s impossible to be a “Christian” and advocate for abortion.
Scholten also tried to use a misquote of Jeremiah 1:5 to make her case. The verse, in context, affirms the fact that a child is a child, a “you,” in the womb, and therefore should be protected. But Scholten twisted the words of the Bible to fit her own agenda, completely disregarding what God’s plan was for that innocent child.
Sadly, the Act passed, but 210 Democratic lawmakers voted against it, suggesting their support of letting a born-alive child die on a table rather than trying to save them. This is a sign of the Democrats’ anti-life values and a clear indication of how far they are willing to go to defend their pro-abortion stance.
It’s disheartening to see so many Democrats taking the words of the Bible and using them to support something that is clearly against God’s will. The Lord is clear in His stance on the sanctity of life and it’s wrong for them to twist His words to suit their own agenda. It’s even more upsetting to see them advocating for infanticide and refusing to protect innocent babies.
At the end of the day, no amount of “pro-choice Christian” rhetoric can make what the Democratic Party is doing right. Their hypocrisy is clear and their disregard for the sanctity of life is appalling. It’s time for them to take a step back and recognize that their agenda is not in line with the teachings of the Bible.
