Soul of Our Nation

On Thursday, President Joe Biden boasted that young American women who supported abortion “showed up and beat the hell out of them [Republicans]” in the midterms. Many pundits believe that abortion is a litmus test issue for our electorate. And they surmise that the Supreme Courts’ Dobbs decision which overturned Roe v Wade was one of the main reasons why the Republicans did not have the red wave that was predicted. And they are correct. Young single women voted overwhelmingly (+37 points) for Democrats. And that in and of itself tipped many of the close races on Tuesday away from Republicans. So, young single women did beat the hell out of Republicans.

You know who else those single women are going to beat the hell out of, all the little babies they are going to abort – all those babies whose arms and legs are going to be ripped off, whose skulls are going to be crushed, whose brains are going to be sucked out. Those babies are literally going to get the hell beat out of them. Great job young American women. Good for you. You should be very proud of how many more babies you will help kill because of the way you voted on Tuesday. You go girl.

But there is someone else to whom abortion is a litmus test issue. God. Jesus made his feelings about children very clear. He said, “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” (Mark 9:34-37) He preached that being “childlike” is a pre-requisite for salvation. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” (Mark 10:15) “Unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt 18:3-4)
