Kamala on LIFE

Posted on by beautybeyondbones

I’ve gone back and forth, and back and forth about publishing this post. Because, let’s be honest, a lady’s not supposed to talk about politics, religion or money.

But then, when have I ever followed the rules when it comes to that.

But my final push to publish this post came when I was having a quiet hour this afternoon, preparing to write tonight’s post…which was, admittedly, not this.

But I looked up today’s gospel reading (MT 19:16-22), and in very clear, very bold, very plain-as-day letters, I was given — nay, commanded — the “green light” to put this post out into the blogosphere.

You see, Jesus was asked what one must do to gain eternal life. To which He replied “Keep my commandments.”

And when asked “which ones?” the very first commandment out of Jesus’ mouth is, “You shall not kill.”

And in that moment, I knew I had to publish this post.

You see, I’ve been shocked to see the mainstream media referring to Joe Biden’s VP running mate, Kamala Harris, as a middle of the road moderate.

I’m shaking my head in disbelief…a centrist? A pragmatic moderate? I’m bewildered, truly.

These are simply things that she is not.

Not even close.

I want to pause for a moment to say that, I think it is something to celebrate that a woman was chosen as the VP nominee of the democratic party ticket. Especially a woman of color. I applaud that fact, and am encouraged by the forward momentum of our country. (Enter more gushy rhetoric about girl power here…I’ll save you the eye strain…)

Back to the real point of this post:

Babies.

I find it incredibly ironic that when announcing his pick for VP running mate on Twitter, Joe Biden introduced Kamala Harris as — and I quote — “a fearless fighter for the little guy“

**Record Scratches**

Little Guy??

I’m sorry Joe, have you not seen Kamala’s position on pro-abortion politics?

“A fearless fighter for the Little Guy?” Clearly, Joe…you’re not referring to the unborn child. Not that “little guy.” Okay, okay…I understand. Sure.

This “centrist” moderate…this fearless fighter for the “little guy”….Kamala Harris is about as far far left as one can be when it comes to pro-abortion legislature.

She has a 100% approval rating by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund — and no surprise here — but Planned Parenthood significantly funded her run for Senate.

Her relationship with that abortion provider is quite the “entanglement,” for lack of a better word.

Back in 2015, when she was California’s attorney general, the undercover journalist, David Daleiden exposed Planned Parenthood‘s heinous and unthinkable practice of selling aborted baby parts. He got it on video. Let me repeat: Planned Parenthood was selling baby parts of aborted children.

And instead of prosecuting Planned Parenthood for their criminal activity, Kamala prosecuted Daleiden instead. And to boot, leaked emails were uncovered between Kamala’s office coordinating with Planned Parenthood to draft legislation that would criminalize undercover investigations like David Daleiden’s.

Repulsive, if you ask me.

She opposes any and all restriction to abortion. She even voted against the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would have made it a federal crime to withhold medical treatment from babies that survived botched abortions.

She supports taxpayer-funded abortions.

And my favorite…she is against parental notification requirements for minors seeking abortions.

Allow me to make myself crystal clear: Kamala Harris is in no way, a moderate. She is not a centrist. Her policies towards the unborn are *rad*i*cal.* And frankly, horrifying.

But back to why I’m bringing this up in the first place…

“You shall not kill.” – Jesus

I couldn’t let this week go by without addressing Joe’s VP pick, because it’s been weighing on my heart for this very reason.

As a Christian voter, I cannot willing elect a candidate (or candidates) who support the killing of innocent children in the womb, no matter how much I may or may not dislike Trump’s personae.

“If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
He asked Jesus, “Which ones?”
And Jesus replied, “You shall not kill.” MT 19

It doesn’t get much clearer than that.

I’m going to be honest, this election terrifies me. I fear that because of this country’s — albeit, perhaps warranted — dislike of Trump, that we’ll be electing an extreme-left Trojan Horse under the guise of Biden’s “back to normal” moderate democratic ticket. And in doing so, we will be opening Pandora’s Box, when it comes to pro-abortion legislature and action.

I just pray – pray – pray for this country, for the hearts of the voters, and the protection of those precious innocent lives in the womb.

I’m not taking political sides here. There are aspects to both parties I agree with: like protecting the environment. I don’t support capital punishment. I think the income gap between the CEO and the floor worker (which is the greatest its been in history) is not right. And yet I also support law and order. I support the police, but want responsible policing.

But the one thing I cannot equivocate on is life. And there’s no “littler guy” than children in the womb.

Life is a gift. Created by God, and protected by rights under the constitution.

Whether we’ll be voting in person, by mail, on the Internet, or by carrier pigeon — who can say. But however we vote this election, I just pray that people put aside their personal vendettas against Trump and take into account the babies, and vote into office leaders who will protect their right to life.

“This is what the Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.” Ez 37:5

  1. Adding another voice in support of this post, Caralyn. Well done! Even before Kamala joined the ticket, Joe Biden spoke in support of the New Green Deal, open borders, Medicare for illegals, limited energy production (when we are now energy-independent for the first time in a long time), defunding police, raising taxes (I’ve heard him say this on video)–to name a few issues. More so now than ever it seems, we must be informed voters who understand–to the best of our ability–the pros and cons of each issue and very carefully make our choices in November. Our nation is in trouble! But I am prayerfully hopeful we can reverse some highly detrimental trends, as seen in Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, etc.

However we do not need to look at giving life to another as an illness. If anything carrying a child is the ultimate effort for any woman. If there is anyone who should be offended then allow them the to live with themselves. Love and understanding to you, 🌺💖🤗

  7. It is pretty hard to say abortion should be the mother’s choice when the DNA of both mother and baby are totally different. It is also pretty hard to say you have not committed murder when you have to scald the tiny person in saline in early days or dismember it piece by piece before removing it from the womb in later trimesters.

  9. I appreciate your honesty and conviction, I too am nervous about Kamalas support of abortion. So I hope to learn from connecting with you on this.
    My first question is: is there a reputable article about Kamalas support of selling baby parts? It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I have learned to do my research especially when it comes to voting.

    And two, I know Jesus says do not kill- so how do we juxtapose that with a rhetoric that is propelling people to set refugees houses on fire and kill them? (I can send a link if you would like- happened in Denver this month). How do we support a rhetoric that allows for children to be separated from families, face sickness and possible death? What about immigrants who have gotten sick In detainment and died? What about refugees who face a hurricane and Covid while sitting in refugee camps waiting to be allowed into our country- death is a certain possibility? How do we allow for people of color to be killed disproportionately by those we need to be able to trust?
    And most obvious, what about those who have died unnecessarily due to mismanagement of Covid?

    To me, the death and disregard for the image of God is much more dire at the hands of Trump. Yes! We need to hold Kamala accountable for her abortion actions through voting on bills, contacting reps, etc. (I can send you an app that does so easily). This one issue seems much more manageable than all the atrocities that could happen if Trump becomes president again.

    I would love to talk more about this with you, in the hope of learning and growing. And I challenge you to look at all life as precious, babies, adults, teens, immigrants, refugees, Black, and brown. Because man I believe voting is the only way we are going to protect them!

I will find the article for you later this morning (I’m in line at the grocery store! Haha) but you’re absolutely right – there are so many manifestations of prolife legislature, aside from just abortion. Those are so important to take into account as well. I’m horrified to learn what happened in Denver. That’s awful. Thank for so much for joining the dialogue. I so appreciate respectful conversation! It’s the way to build bridges and foster community!!

    1. I agree! We need to speak up for babies for sure. But not at the expense of all other lives. As Christians we aren’t going to line up with all politicians so we have to fight for what’s right in addition to our vote.

      I would also be careful, I can’t breathe is specific to George Floyd and it’s important that we feel for him and the black community. Not make it about another issue.

      And without trying to be argumentative, I will say I am often perplexed by this same issue in people who act and speak out (maybe even vote) only on the abortion issue. If we care for life we are called to care for all of it! That’s what Jesus did.

    Whenever I think of writing something controversial, I remember your courage. It is getting increasingly difficult to get to the truth on any issue. I have been mustering my courage lately, largely thanks to you. I have been trying to write what I know. What I know is children and young people and abusive relationships. I always come at things from that perspective. So many issues stem from abuse and neglect. I love hearing from egosumkenzie, as a policeman Is suspect he knows more than any of us would ever wish to know on this issue. It is a credit to you that you have created a forum, wherever people feel it is safe to disagree. I see there is one brave woman speaking up here, about having had an abortion. I would genuinely like to hear things from their perspective sometimes in your writing on this difficult topic. If it were me, I would be heading straight over to her blog if she has one.

  24. Thank you for writing this piece. In times as such as these, writing such piece and being vocal about it comes at the risk of cancel culture. But you know that all human beings are created in God’s image as states in Genesis.

    I also recall Jeremiah 1:5 where God says “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.” It’s God who forms life. We often forget that. For me the candidates are less than ideal on either side. But I like to think that I’m voting for policies that uphold biblical values rather than destroy them.

  32. In my own perspective, Planned Parenthood is a form of tangible fear that one day a minority from a deprived area of town might take over. So many an obituary these days from white women espouse their racism by promoting “planned parenthood,” as if they all along had been in charge of creating the world, deliberately terminating births in the deprived areas. And where did Planned Parenthood erect their clinics but in the so-called deprived areas?

    So you worked, even after you died, to leave a spirit in a place that you love so much that things might never change, even of the birth rate might die. With this secular thinking, empowering a world without a real God, who would ever want to live in such a world? With such overt racism?

  35. I’m not too worried about what Kamala Harris thinks or doesn’t think about abortion. I’m Catholic and pro-life, too, but I also know that VPs have no authority over abortion decisions. That’s more a matter for the legislative branch, which makes the laws, or the judicial branch, which interprets them. The VP can’t even appoint people to these positions. It doesn’t matter to me what she wants in this case because she’s not going to be the one who decides what happens.

    Even the President can’t appoint people to the legislative branch of government, so it doesn’t particularly matter what he wants, either. It’s not his job, and it’s not going to be, no matter who gets elected. I suppose he could appoint pro-abortion justices to the Supreme Court the next time one of the justices retires or dies, which will probably happen sometime in the next few years, considering their age, but that doesn’t matter too much, either, because the Supreme Court just interprets the law and can’t actually make it. If you want to make sure the laws and conditions surrounding abortion change, concentrate on Congress. They’re the people who could actually do something.

    To tell the truth, I’ve become disenchanted with many supposedly pro-life politicians in general in the last several years. Even the ones who are in a position to do something often don’t when they get into office, and sometimes, it turns out that they’re not really as pro-life as advertised. It hasn’t really changed my mind, but it’s made me more discouraged and skeptical about these sorts of promises when they aren’t backed up with any real follow-through.

    Psychologically speaking, people don’t really stop things that they’re doing just for being told “no.” It’s more effective to give them something else that’s more helpful and compelling to do instead. That’s why I really wish that we’d focus more on social support for mothers and families. There might not be anything that will completely eliminate abortion forever because there may be some people who will do it no matter what, but if there was more affordable medical support and psychological counseling for pregnant women and reliable child care for working mothers, I think that would greatly reduce the desperation and emotional distress that make people think that abortion is necessary in the first place, bringing down the overall demand. Abortion isn’t something people do because it’s fun and they like it; it’s something people do because, for various reasons, they think that they have to, that there are no other choices. Therefore, I think it’s important to build up the other choices. It really bothers me that Republican politicians fight what is probably the most effective and humane solutions to the problem tooth and nail, and it makes me question even more how much they’re really dedicated to the pro-life cause in the first place.

    Thank you so so much for stepping out of your comfort zone to write this post. I know it wasn’t easy for you, and I applaud your bravery. The world needs to be reminded of everything you just wrote.
    We were very active in the pro-life movement in California, and I thank you for drawing attention to this platform. If we don’t take a stand for the right to life from womb to tomb and to stand up for these truly innocent victims, who will? It’s a fundamental, God-given gift, the most precious of all.
    Judging by the responses you’ve received this far, it gives me great hope that there are more like-minded people out there than we can possibly imagine. Hopefully, we can vote in elected leaders across the board who will stand up for our G-d given and Constitutional rights.
    I’m now following your blog. Keep up the good work and never lose faith!
