USA: the deadly doctrine of a Democrat darling

At the point where it seemed that every angle on abortion ethics had been discussed and recycled, in May, a US senator put forward a novel suggestion that it is actually ‘anti-Christian’ not to support abortion.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, came to Georgia (where a ‘foetal heartbeat bill’ was being signed into law). There Gillibrand said that laws banning (or in any way restricting abortion) are ‘against [the] Christian faith’. As Al Mohler stated in his daily podcast, The Briefing, ‘that’s quite a statement.’1

At the rally, Gillibrand demanded that access to abortion be standardised across the country on the basis of Christian values. In the USA, no money from citizens is given directly to abortion through taxation. In fact one of the sticking points regarding ‘Obama Care’ concerns provision in health insurance for abortion. Such a demand would not only overturn the Hyde Amendment2, but would obviously distort the Bible’s teaching and indeed logical thinking with regard to the law.
