The majority of America still wants abortion to be legal and for women to have that choice.
Biden is a guy...he can't have an abortion.
Has Biden ever counseled anyone to have an abortion?
What exactly do you want Biden to do to stop abortions? Does laws against murder stop murder?
Abortion is a societal issue. All we can do is seek to educate those to the alternatives. Contraception, etc. before pregnancy...and adoption or keeping the baby afterward.
As a Christian, I support a women's right to choose because it's the law and I don't have any right to force my religious beliefs on anyone else. That being said, as a guy, I can't have an abortion...and I would never counsel any female to have one unless it was to save her life, or in the cases of incest, rape, or a fetus that was not viable. It's a decision that needs left to the mother, her physician, and her religion. Not mine.
The president is president of the United States, his church affiliation is not relevant.
Abortion is legal in the United States.
The American public is evenly divided on whether on this topic, with less than 30% of the public supporting unrestricted abortions.
Biden is a guy...he can't have an abortion, but he can have children. His opinion should matter.
Has Biden may or may not have directly counseled anyone to have an abortion, but his unbridled support of his parties platform by extension means he has.
I would like for Mr. Biden to verbalize the Christian stance on the horror of abortion, and state publicly he does not support it. His moral position as POTUS may well stop many. Does laws against murder stop murder?, not but public backlash against any issue will reduce the incidence of it.
Abortion is a societal issue based on the morality of the country. All we can do is seek to educate those to the alternatives. Contraception, etc. before pregnancy...and adoption or keeping the baby afterward while continually reminding everyone that aborting a baby stops a human heart.
As a Christian, I do not support women's right to kill a child even though it's the law. I do not have any right to force my religious beliefs on anyone else, but i will NEVER support someone's "choice" in that way. I cannot have an abortion, but my wife or any woman can stop the life of a child without anyone's consent, even the father's, and that's ethically, and morally wrong even if it is not currently illegal. I would never counsel any female to have one ever. period, for any reason. It's a decision that should never be made, certainly not left to the whims of only a mother.
if, as a Christian, you cannot condemn the killing of children, what will you condemn?
fixed it for you.
