Another question posed is if abortion is cruel, and to place that into context of "forced" actions I correlate forced separation of family to forced aboirtion procedures. An example would be a pregnant immigrant being forced to have an abortion by US immigration policy.
This creates a "forced" action by policy.
If an immigrant parent volunteers a child for adoption/placement the action is "voluntary" and is no longer forced by definition.
There is no mention of killing children by abortion, or other means by force. All murder of children by any means of any age in my comparison would be done by parents volunteering their children for the action.
This would not be forced abortion, or execution of children of any age.
Here is the quote:
Sorry, but I simply don’t understand how politically active evangelicals can reconcile devout Christian faith with uncritical support of Trump. Should all of his behavior be excused because he appoints judges who will restrict
abortion and same-sex marriage rights? Then tell me, what is pro-family about a policy of forcibly separating asylum-seekers from their young children at the border? Where in the New Testament does it say that blessed are the cruel?
He introduced abortion, in his argument to claim believers must be hypocrites, because of Trumps policies re: Immigration.
In doing so, he stuck his own neck, in the noose, he intended for others.
Now, if you want to say killing a baby is NOT cruel, then you can claim such a argument, however, expect dissension, for your belief a fetus can not experience cruel pain, is just YOUR belief, not fact, and the only TRUE witness is no longer alive to testify in their OWN behalf.
This is NOT a argument on abortion, but a rebuttal of disengenous materiel introduced as argument against the charge against believers
