At
first, Trump was asked if a woman should be punished for having an abortion. Frankly,
when he started out, it was quite weak.
“If you say abortion is a crime or abortion is
murder, you have to deal with it under the law,” Matthews rightly said. “Should
abortion be punished?”
“Well,
people in certain parts of the Republican Party and
conservative Republicans would say ‘yes, they should be punished’,” Trump
responded, not actually answering the question presented to him. So Matthews
asked again, “How about you?”
“I would say that it’s a very serious problem
and it’s a problem we have to decide on,” Trump said, again not answering the
question.
Trump
did go on to say he is “pro-life” and against abortion, but he was
pressed further by Matthews on what “banning abortion” means and the resulting
consequences.
Mr.
Trump reminded Matthews that in the past, when abortion was treated as murder, that those
who engaged in the practice did it in back alleys and such. Why? Because it was
murder! People who steal, try to hide it. Those who commit adultery, try to
hide it. Those who lie, try to cover up the truth. And yes, those who commit
murder, want to do it in the dark.
Of
course, Matthews, like all liberals, claims concern for the
health of the mother. If that is really
true, then he should be shouting from the housetops for women not to have an
abortion. Abortions scar women not only physically, but even mentally and
spiritually. Furthermore, we know that literally hundreds if not thousands of abortion clinics don’t operate within the law and that
many women have had to be rushed to the hospital due to their “safe and legal”
abortion, and some have even died.
Matthews
was asked by Trump how he felt about the Roman Catholic Church’s position on
abortion in an attempt to get Matthews to be consistent with his agreement with
the church’s position on abortion, but Matthews flipped it back that he wasn’t running for president. That’s true, but if he
were consistent, he would have taken the position that abortion is murder and he would support Trump’s final answer. Matthews tries to draw a line
between what is moral and what is legal (or lawful).
Friends, real morality and real law come from the Lawgiver, God. If you are
lawless, then you are not moral,
you are immoral.
Trump
simply stated, “There has to be some form of punishment” for the woman who has an abortion. That’s right, but
what should that punishment be? Trump didn’t have an answer.
Fortunately, the Bible does. And not only does
the Bible have an answer, it states that answer, which is justice, over and
over and over.
“Whoever sheds the
blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.” Genesis 9:6
“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death.”
Leviticus 24:17
“If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to
death on the evidence of witnesses. But no person shall be put to death on the
testimony of one witness. Moreover, you shall accept no ransom for the life of
a murderer, who is guilty of death, but he shall be put to death.” Numbers
35:30-31
“But if you do
wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant
of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.” Romans 13:4
Now,
if your first response to me is, “Tim, you’re just a Christian Taliban,” but you will
also go and tell people that America was built on Judeo-Christian principles,
please tell me what those principles are, if they are not the principles of
God’s law? Our forefathers understood the law of God and implemented it and its
just punishments in law in our history. Just look at how they handled sodomy and what they pointed to as their
point of reference for what was unlawful about it and the justice administered.
Finally,
I received an article from a man who blasted Trump over his
answer.
“Donald Trump may
have finally torpedoed his campaign by telling Chris Matthews and a nationwide
TV audience that there should be ‘some form of punishment’ for a woman who has
an abortion. He managed in so doing to horrify forces on the far left and to
cause anguish in the pro-life community, which believes legal
punishment should be reserved for abortionists rather than the women who seek
their services.” (Emphasis mine)
This man went on to write, “Does she bear moral culpability for that decision? Of
course she does. But the way forward for women is healing through repentance
rather than time in jail.”
I
have never heard that the pro-life movement doesn’t believe that the woman should not be held accountable for her
part in the murder. That’s like saying that we’ll hold the hitman accountable,
but not the husband who paid him to kill his wife. Why is
her crime not to be punished, but to give her space for “repentance,” but the doctor she paid to murder her baby punished?
Does that make any sense people? Shame on those in the “pro-life” movement who
think this way! They may be pro-life, but they certainly are not pro-justice,
and as a friend of mine rightly says, “Justice is the guardian of liberty.”
Granted,
Trump needs to take a stronger position on this issue, but seeing that a
punishment should be administered for murdering babies is a good place to be. Now Donald,
break out your Bible and read it!
