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. Certainly, we have to be in prayer regarding this election. Thou shalt not kill applies to not only abortions but also the senseless killings of people of color that has been spurred by a racially propagated agenda. Neither are aligned with God’s Word. Lots of prayer for sure! God bless!

  6. Kamala was considered a “moderate” because she was “tough on crime”, which was nothing more than she was a hired gun for corporate interests. Taking the side of Planned Parenthood, letting Willie Browns Cronies off the hook, not prosecuting pedophile priests after the church’s lawyers donated to her campaign, throwing people, mostly minorities, in jail for minor drug offenses to facilitate the prison industrial complex etc.. She even prosecuted companies that had created and distributed biodegradable bottles because the plastic industry stood to lose money if you didn’t use their forever plastic bottles.

    She has always used her power to facilitate the most powerful to exploit the most vulnerable and her position on abortion should surprise no one.

      2. If you got time check out my recent posts on this years election. A lot of corrupt, evil things happening and we definitely need prayers and the hope we can lead this country in the right direction. This weekend I plan to write my thoughts on the convention on both sides (still need to watch the DNC, RNC nailed it though more ways than none).

        I have a feeling this election is a war against good and evil. Even if you don’t have time to watch the RNC (if you haven’t already) it shows the good Trump has done for this country and the leftist media is distorting the truth about Trump. That’s not to say he is not lying either but since I still need to watch the DNC before writing my next blog and not listen to hearsay with it but from what I did hear all the DNC was about doom and gloom, blaming America and Trump for its problems while they don’t discuss or share what they plan on doing to help Americans out (as they haven’t done much of anything to help hard working people) while the RNC has shown what Trump has done, yet the lefist media ignored it all. The RNC doesn’t blame America, they show how nothing in government has been done for decades and Trump exposed all this within his first term as president and has done more than the media claims. Next to the harsh, hateful mob mentality from the left it’s a wonder why people still would vote for the Democratic party. Anyways feel free to share my RNC video post (I still have to add nights 3 and 4) if you dont have the time to sit down and watch maybe your friends and family might if they are unsure or already pro Trump as we need to get the word out as we’re in a fight for good and evil. One of the speakers from the RNC I believe has said “people are condemning Trump, much like people condemned Jesus because Jesus didn’t cave to political correctness during his time” that quote isnt exact but it should be clear as to we need to be a voice for Trump, besides the fact he is the polar opposite of Jesus as Trump isnt always nice, but he’s relentless in taking down and exposing the corruption in politics. Sad to say but our politics is at war and Trump has what America needs right now a voice to expose corruption and the American people need to rise up and take back control of our great country.

        If you noticed, all the violent and crazy things has been happening because when we are being blessed with all the good that Trump is doing the demons are going insane and causing problems.

        This is turning into a long post in itself but hopefully I can get my next post out this weekend and feel free to share my RNC video coverage post and my upcoming one to people that you think would benefit from it. People think their vote wont count. This election it will. Even if we lose to Biden, that’s no excuse to give up. The goal here is to not only win but win both popular vote and in the electoral vote for Trump.

        Also kind of surprised that the left bashed Melania’s RNC speech. The hate is just so unfair and un-American. As I’ve said this nation needs prayers and Gods guidance, we need it more than ever.

But it still horrifies me that the taking of innocent human life is permitted, defended, and even celebrated in our “liberal” “tolerant” culture. I’m not judging those who end their babies lives because they’re fed lies on the subject. There are two victims in every abortion. It’s the culture as a whole that’s accepted this.

      1. Thank you for wording a difficult topic gently.
        I dislike entering into contentious subjects on the Internet because good communication is more than words. So if this comment sounds stroppy, that’s not how I’m saying it, yeah?

        Please don’t base your vote on one issue no matter how significant it seems now. No candidate will be perfect for everyone, compromise is necessary for governments to function at home and internationally therefore every person in the job will face situations where there are no good outcomes. What skills and traits does a successful leader need?

        Abortion remains a sensitive and inflammatory topic, one riddled with blame at women – no one ever seems to blame the father! Given it takes two to get to that point, that imbalance upsets me.

        Abortion clinics are not merely for foetus killing, they are safe havens for women in trouble, a centre of good, up-to-date and realistic advice. A place where options are discussed. A place to think.

        No, I could never have an abortion but that is MY choice. I hold God as my judge and refuse to offer judgement on other women who choose differently. Every woman that walks through an abortion clinic has a personal tragedy in motion. I pray for them and will love them as best I can. To me it is a worse crime to shove thousands of women into the hands of backstreet chop artists who won’t stop to talk or offer guidance or alternatives. History shows us abortions always exist and we save lives when this sad process is clean, regulated and overseen.

        I do enjoy your blog and I do think women should have a voice in religion and politics! I’d march (virtually during a pandemic!) to defend your right to have that voice. 😎👊

        As a last thought… that passage in Mathew 19 goes on, have you considered how the other virtuous traits listed there are represented in the candidates? While all are relevant, I’m particularly thinking of the last piece of advice Jesus offers the rich man.

        Unfortunately morality is a poor means of determining law since moral actions are context-dependent, as evidenced in the history of the Church herself. For example, there was a time when burning heretics and conquering natives was considered morally acceptable.

        Abortions are real, they happen, and they have happened since humans started reproducing. The question is how we handle something real, not how we value it based on one group’s current sense of morality.

        If it were not performed in clinics, the death toll would include the women involved as well, making for a substantially higher number.

        The reality is that abortions will occur with or without roe v wade, and I’d rather it not return to back alleys, hangars, hot baths with whiskey, unsupervised drug cocktails, suicide, or infanticide.

        Abortion affects society in potential reality, not actual reality. It affects the woman, the embryo/fetus (sort of), and whoever the woman decides to include. As you said earlier, it doesn’t affect you personally. The idea just bothers you because of your faith, which is absolutely fair. Same reason it bothers me.

  18. This is a very difficult subject. Sometimes a doctor has to make a difficult decision whether to lose a mother or child in life threatening circumstances. By choosing one above another because both can’t be saved is that doctor responsible for the death in the sight of God when he or she makes that choice? As Christians looking back in history we have been responsible for a lot of killing in the name of religion so are vulnerable to finger pointing by those who dislike Christians. I totally agree that the ten commandments are relevant and required today. God gives us a choice and doesn’t intervene to force that choice but eventually it will be sorted out in the judgment. He is the judge. We need to have those commandments in mind constantly as we make our decisions and each of the ten has equal weight. Fortunately God is in control and the final judge and if the thief and murderer on the cross could be forgiven by Jesus in that last minute before his death then people who make unfortunate choices about the life of a child can repent and be forgiven.

  25. This is spot on Caralyn. Have you ever noticed that as soon as liberals get in power, the very first thing they do is loosen abortion restrictions? And the very first thing conservatives do when it’s their turn, is to tighten them. We can fight about all kinds of politics, but the number one issue is always abortion. It’s heartbreaking that in the last 4 years, liberals have pushed for (and won) abortion rights all the way to the point of birth. Even worse is born-alive restrictions that deny medical attention to babies who manage to survive abortions. How can we expect people to respect different races and opposite sexes when we are so horrifically inhumane as to slaughter babies or to sell baby parts for our own benefit? How revolting is that? Makes my stomach turn. I agree with you, that as difficult as Trump’s personality can be, this nation has nothing to stand on if we hand over the reigns of leadership to extremists like Kamala Harris. Thank you for your boldness to speak up. It encourages my heart to watch the younger generations stand up for what is right.

  28. Oh I can’t begin to understand why people would vote for Biden/Harris let alone the extreme hate from a left. I’ve always been conservative but always stuck to the sidelines mostly. I really wasn’t that fond of Trump in the beginning but hey when I saw my paycheck less was taken from the Federal tax.

    Not only that the economy was doing great and everything was fine. Covid struck and basically I feel more isolated but I never blamed Trump for it. Since the riots and looting has been going on Biden makes an appearance and I never liked him due to the fact besides him being Democrat and unfortunately the corruption in Illinois ran by Democrats I just get upset over these politicians who spends a lot and then expect way too much tax money, gives each other politician raises and they still dont have enough.

    Then I find all these looters and rioters are being cheered on by none other but the Democratic party. Topping all that off celebrities keep mouthing off at Trump, calling him names and basically just continue to berate him in such hatred.

    The thing that gets me though is with all this going on with the Democratic party out of all the chaos and hate one, state is virtually untouched by this insanity, South Dakota. A Republican Governor, named Kristi Noem managed to run her state with minimal casualties. Shes got around 10k infected or deaths by Covid (if I recall, someone needs to fact check) but ran her state like nothing ever happened, her economy was 100% open. The people listened to her to take precautions and she ran her state better than any other state in the U.S. (to my knowledge anyways).

    So while the major cities was like a warzone ran by Democrats and the people insane it was the polar opposite with S. Dakota. The reason, I bet is because people have values and respect for one another, the Governor is very traditional conservative and I bet you that some if not many people are Christians. I could be wrong but either way these are nice respectful people, I hear. I might have found the place to retire if it continues to be untouched by greed, hate corruption and evil!

    I gotta wonder if we’re witnessing a change and it greatly depends if Trump wins. I feel like we’re borderline heading into a civil war again. I hope not. But even though Trump is a very difficult person to get along with or like he’s still a better choice than Joe Biden as the Democrats are failing America.

    I think if we can push America into a country with values, integrity and caring we could get someone like Kristi Noem who would keep America together. But right now it’s the fact that Americans are against one another and it keeps escalating. Trump definitely doesn’t help things and it makes the left crazier and more hateful but hopefully we can get through this another 4 years with him. Republicans really needed someone better but unfortunately Trump is all we got.

    I’m not sure if Pence would do any better but really Trump needs to be replaced with someone with some sense to not antagonise the left. Because now is not the time to make a bad situation worse but unfortunately Trump keeps doing just that. I’ve already mentioned that this country really needs so many prayers because the U.S. is in chaos. We need help. The hate, corruption, greed and violence needs to stop. If S. Dakota can do this so can the rest of the country if people want it to be.

  29. Thank you for having the courage to write and post tonight’s article. I especially appreciate how you took Joe’s comment about “the little guy” and applied it to the littlest of our world community.

    I originally started having some interest in Obama. The I heard that he voted for partial birth abortion. That’s an automatic out, a drop-dead issue, if you’ll allow the expression.

    I trust you remain well. Sorry I missed you this weekend.

  32. I read an article the other day which stated, Kamala had exchanged sex for advancement in her political career. Do we want the first female president (I firmly believe Biden will bow out of office within the first year leaving her as president) example to aspiring girls to be a corporate cliche? How many of us who had been at a company for years wondered why we were passed up for promotions in favor of other women we later found out were not working late, they were ‘counting ceiling tiles’ in order to advance up the corporate ladder? This goes way beyond slut shaming and into voting for a woman who is qualified to lead vs. one who is where she is because of quid pro quo of the worst sort. A story as old as women have been in the workforce.
    I hope the dems do not make the same mistake of voting for, Kamala as they did when they voted for, Obama… twice because of some misguided need to prove they are ‘good people’.
    Voting for, Kamala tears down decades of progress for women and is a slap in the face to those of us who work hard to gain advancement and merit based on our intelligence and hard work.

The upper classes always had the ability to limit the rights of others. We can be mad about that. We’re not because every few years we think a president will wave a wand and make everything “good.” That’s not democracy that’s older aristocracy. Limiting a women’s access to health including obstetrics and gynecology is not lawful. So. A president saying he’ll end abortion is also untrue. If we understood the process in the country we live in rather than just pick a side like football. Oh I think we could save some babies. We don’t have to, lie. Manipulate. We don’t have to downgrade and demean a candidates political choices because she understands the law. Nietzsche and the abyss is the abortion debate and project of a past Pope.

They have usually jumped over what’s in front of them. Or, kicked and stomped. Either way she wasn’t going to make it. More authors claim delusions because of her belief in God. I believe, it is not the spirit that moves us but free will. Religion compelled her but she achieved a false sense of security from surviving previous protest actions. It reminded me of Joan of Arc.

  37. So you’re a one issue voter. As long as some politician is antiabortion whatever else they espouse is okay. Like the death penalty or being racist or antisemtic, that okay with you — somehow that’s not surprising. Let’s see what else, how about punishing the poor for bring poor? Lying, cheating, treating women as nasty, sexual objects? Cheating at golf — bet dad doesn’t like that. But anything goes as long as the unborn get born even it they suffer after. Very white, very upper crust.

    Isn’t the abortion issue really about choice? So why it only women who don’t get to choose, and that’s not only about abortion. I thougth you want the government out of our lives, but not when it comes to women and sex. Oh well consistancy is greatly overrated. What do they say — it’s the hobgoblin of small minds.You should try marrage sometime and raising a family that might give you a different prespective.

    I guess what gets me is that as long as the trains run ontime and the volk are working and we’re killing and being kill in places no one knows — who cares. There’s only one moral issue, I guess. Did I not mention the 170,000 dead from COVID-19. Well as a great man said — that’s what it is.

    I glad morality is so clear for you.

Abortion is a heartbreaking issue, and the post-abortive mothers and fathers need support afterwards too.

  39. I really HOPE my thoughts DO NOT upset you, BUT First?

    You wrote that a “lady’s not supposed to talk about politics, religion or money.” I don’t recall reading those 3 things in the “bible” as No, No’s and you do know your living in 2020, RIGHT? Lol. xoxo…

    If we don’t speak up or speak out? How do we share our voice?

    And just as you have done in your post about your choice and feelings about “Abortion.”
    NOW? I HOPE you really, really don’t get UPSET at me as you know I love YOU and your blog…

    I was in a position myself at a very young age from childhood abuse and sexual trauma andbecame pregnant … I chose to have an abortion as I was not even mentally, emotionally, and mature at the age of 14… in no way fit to have a child. And at the time? My parents raised me and my siblings Catholic and I know their stance on abortion.

    It is why I am not affilated with any type of “Organized” religion. I was rebaptized and rededicated my life to God, and his son, Jesus Christ in 2002. I am a Christian and Believer. I am a walking talking Miracle of God as he saved me from two failed suicides.

    My feelings are, unless a woman has walked in my shoes?
    I’ll stand by choices in life and will answer and atone for them when it’s my time to leave this earth and meet my “Father Above.” See, he already knows the horrific childhood I went through. He forgives through his love, mercy, and grace. I will hold him to that when I meet him as I’m sure he’ll hold to my choices and WHY…

    I have always believed a woman should have the right to see fit what she does with her body. I look at it the same as my Mental Health challenges.

    I wouldn’t want someone else locking me in a Mental Hospital just because I have severe depression. No one should make the choices for YOU if you are able and of sound mind to make them about your body, your health and mental well-being. If you are incapasitated or mentally dabilatated, that is very different and someone, a gaurdian would make those choices for you.

    Yes, all life is precious. But there are many, many woman who shouldn’t have children with all the sick abuse and neglect I see toward children as we hear on the news, in the headlines. And, again, I surely wasn’t mature enough nor fit from the trauma, I wasn’t going to bring a child into that mess … I do respect your opinions around this issue.

    Let me ask you this question?
    Of all the chaos and late decissions our current President has made, including all the evidence and videos that we have actually heard him speak of and about WOMAN…
    If you have a daughter… how can you look her in the eyes knowing what values and character this man has and still support him?
    I know, it’s a tough question.

    This is subject is very personal to me and I thank you for letting me share my experiences. Just the other side of the coin.

    Be blessed, stay safe and healthy!

  40. Let’s keep in mind here, that biblically speaking (Leviticus 20:10) the only thing keeping Trump alive is that he’s a male adulterer. Adulterous females…well, I daresay we all know at least one we’d have to publicly stone. Biblically speaking, of course.
    Kamala isn’t a baby murderer. She’s a law maker. As such, she has to safeguard the rights of everyone as the majority decides. To spin this responsibility any other way is nothing but high drama theater.
    Frankly, having grown up Catholic in the 80s, I watched the greatest threat to democracy happening in real-time while Catholic priests were sexually abusing my classmates in high school. That threat was the GOP pressing its lips against the buttocks of religion and smooching. I personally lived the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, so I am absolutely not surprised to see the GOP nothing more than a cluster-eff of racism, misogyny and avarice in 2020.
    If you want to add to that problem by being a single issue voter, well, that’s your “right”. But it’s also part of the problem with democracy in the US. Voters are supposed to cast their vote based on their informed opinion of the qualifications of the candidates to unite our country and lead us forward. Voting based on a book written by a group of men 2000 years ago isn’t just voting backward, as a female it’s pretty much gender treason. But if you want to vote biblically, I’ll pay for your first year subscription to Cell Beautiful so that after you stone your adulterous friends to death, you’ll have something to read in jail.
    Just, please…be merciful and aim for the head. No need for your adulterous female friends to suffer unnecessarily.
    Or, y’know…you could just vote responsibly as a citizen of the modern world and pick the candidate best suited to the job. As you mention, there are many other issues to consider.
    It’s a four year relationship, not a marriage. Although, so many marriages don’t even last four years any more…oh, hey…we’re back to adultery since the Bible views divorce as adultery, too! (Matthew 5:32)
    Remember, aim for the head. 🙄

Its something that we need to figure out a fix for because it’s so flipping divisive. I don’t think I’d mind as much if there was consistency…but there’s not. That said, founding a country on religious freedom but then allowing religion a political voice was always gonna be a fraught proposition…and I’ll tell ya this, I’m not sure what the answer is outside of politics and religion weren’t designed to mix in America.

But let’s keep this in mind: there is a hate-filled despot at 1600 Pennsylvania, who has done nothing but divide the people and spread harmful — at times, lethal — lies. His un-Christlike lack of compassion for anybody is jaw-dropping. If the Biden-Harris ticket offers any chance of restoring some kind of stability to the country, that’s a bullet one has to bite. The thing is, this is something we, as Christians, have a responsibility to address one-on-one with individual people. Bring forward the supports for single parents; encourage fathers to stick around; don’t let people portray having babies as a curse or a barrier to career progression; if we’re doing our jobs, it won’t be an issue.

    He is dismantling the USPS to suppress voting. Many are not getting their prescriptions on time due to slower mail. Is that pro life?

    He refused to wear a mask, encouraging his followers to the same. Mixed messaging has caused people to contract the virus because it was politicized. Is that pro life?
