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

There are rumors going around about Joe Biden having early stages of Dementia, and the fact that kamala Harris political track record reveals she always done things to hurt my people. I think this upcoming election is going to be one big train wreck and all you can do is get you some popcorn and enjoy the circus show. The Democratic Party is split, you have those with a little decency left and those who care nothing about American politics and the people. Just the way white america sold my ancestors on the auction blocks to the highest bidder, so America has also been sold to thieves on the highest levels of this melting pot society. Don’t take my comment personal, I just wanted to share my thoughts about this upcoming election and what I think it means to Us. Shalom

They’re both despicable wicked, lying, lowdown dirty scoundrels and belong behind bars already! Yes, I’m very glad you took on this crummy topic in defense of the UNBORN being killed in New York and California at an unprecedented rate, and, many now full term day of delivery! We all should be crying like I am now feeling the pain as I’m thinking about this diabolical evil that these sorts of Dem party minions have promoted and provoked in this nation under God, while dragging in as many illegals as they can who don’t appreciate what America really is or stands for nor care; just so that in time they would have all crazed sheeple that serve as their minions while destroying all the good like the babies, about America. BTW it’s been validated that Kamala is NOT African American she is a total fraud and to me a heinous criminal! Her great grandfather was a most despicable slave trader of all races even his own Irish countrymen! He even took payment for his legal services with slave babies as chattel; an early American human trafficker and Kamala with Soros have upped the ante big-time through California! Go figure; look at Joe the granddaddy of the party criminals picks another despicable Dem criminal! Then again who is there in that party worth a damn!

I have concerns as well about Kamala, but unfortunately that’s where we’re going to go in different paths. I have bigger concerns over the current administration’s lack of caring for immigrant children (i.e. separating children and parents, putting children in cages), capital punishment, and the lack of concern for the elderly and immune-deficient in building any type of plan in fighting COVID. If a politician is going to promote their pro-life position, then be pro-life. Are we not all God’s children? Are we not all in his image? If that’s not enough, I hate President Trump’s need to divide us, instead of bringing us together. We may disagree, but I appreciate your opinion and wish you well. God bless you.

Astonishing though it is from over here to see so many Americans thinking the Biden and Harris ticket as ‘extreme left’, and unbelievable that anyone can think a Trump option is even thinkable given his incompetence, dangerous narcissism and corruption, I appreciate your post was not about these broader questions. I also understand how difficult the choice of those who take your view of abortion must find the coming election. What won’t do is to reduce the complexity of reality to a single issue that sweeps all others away. It is not just abortion that kills – poverty kills, indifference to climate change kills, incompetent and ignorant foreign policy kills, ignorance and stupidity in the face of Covid kills. God preserve this planet from more Trump. If you want to save life we desperately need leaders who will take action to save the planet from extreme heating, who will reduce infant mortality by tackling extreme inequality, who will build alliances for peace, who will provide competent leadership in the face of pandemics.

  26. Looking at what is happening in the US right now, I cannot help feel concerned for my American friends. I honestly fear for their safety and their presence of mind. It is hard for me to see good people being misled by the media, etc. The worst part is that they don’t seem to want to see to reason. All the videos that I post and show don’t seem to make a difference. They are so brainwashed into following what the next big thing that the media latches on to.
    And most of it is because they have been indoctrinated into this view by their college education. It is sad. It is awful. That is why I thank God for people like Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens that are going into schools and challenging their ideology on their level, but it does not seem to be making much of a difference.
    You cannot call the Democrat party a Democratic Party anymore. It is just Socialism and communism disguised. There is such hypocrisy and double standard there that it just leaves you baffled.

    When are the American people going to realize that these people are going to do what is best for them and their agenda at the expense of the American people. They show that they care about you to get your vote and then forget about you for 4 years.
    People talk about giving people of color high positions in government. I’m sorry.. What did Obama do for the 8 years that he was in office. To be honest, I didn’t know he was in office for that long. But yeah… what did he do for his people? What did he do for minority groups? Nothing.. Absolutely nothing.

    Plus if you look at it, there were more gun violence and shootings in public schools while he was in office than there were when Trump was. Makes me think that those shootings were all planned actually.

    And the fact that it is illegal to go to church, but not illegal to protest on the streets; shoot innocent children and loot small businesses?

    Yeah… It makes me sick just thinking about what will happen if they come into power.

    They are not for the little guy. And yes.. Thou shall not kill. As what I am thinking, they have crimes against God and humanity and no one will call them out on it.

Looking at the levels of corruption and double standards that Democrat party will go to right now, I would not put it past them to go to those levels to seek out ways to take away the rights of citizens to bear arms for protection; and doing so while they had one of their own in office at the time.

  34. Hi there

    I am very late tp the party and I apologize. This is an extremely loaded issue for me. I deeply respect your passion and obvious integrity around this issue! Oh that we would all be as faithful. I have to say that I do not quite see it the same way as you this time though for several reasons: when any political party begins to co-opt religion and say “we represent your values” I believe we have to become deeply wary. It happened with the Democratic party and the mainline Protestant parties in the 1970s, and it’s happening now with the Republicans and the more conservative Catholics and Protestants now around their key issues. When Jesus was pushed into taking sides on politics, He adamantly refused. “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s” It’s obviously not that Caesar was a good leader, or that Jesus was being an obedient follower to the Pharisees or to Caesar. So that’s one thing. Secondly, 35 years ago I was a desperate, young unmarried girl whose boss fired her,, whose family threw her out, and who was contemplating suicide. Through the grace of God only, my boyfriend’s lovely Lutheran family (he soon became my husband) took me in. They passed the moral test of love: my own Christian family did not. My parents wanted me to have a secret abortion so no one in our community would ever have to know. So every time I drive by one of those billboards that screams “Abortion stops a beating heart” and there is no number to call for help on it I start screaming. Women need solutions, not more blame. Until we care as much about the child and woman as we do the fetus, I feel we just cannot put all our energy into telling women they cannot get a safe, legal abortion. I have been there and I know the dark thoughts of killing myself because I could not safely care for and provide for my beautiful baby. Plus that daughter that I did not abort depends on Planned Parenthood for safe gynecological care now so we know they do much more than kill babies, although admittedly they do do that. I am not trying to deny that. Sorry for ranting and for my disagreement with you! I love your blog. We just feel that, overall, this current President’s administration has been such a terrible ambassador for Jesus that we cannot in good conscience support his reelection.

But I feel that in this broken world unplanned pregnancies do, unfortunately, still happen, so I am torn about legislating all hope for a safe way out for desperate women. But I feel a total sisterhood with you on our shared hatred of abortion itself. I am just more torn about removing all chance of it from our society, that’s all. It seemed more clear-cut until I myself needed one.

  35. You’re right to support the unborn child, and your post is powerful. I can see that you feel sufficiently strongly about this issue that it could determine the way you cast your vote, and you’re right if that’s what your conscience is telling you.
    I wonder, though, whether it’s possible to vote for the overall direction of a political party, while campaigning against specific policies? What do you think?

    1. Thank you so much Penny, I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. That is a truly great question. I personally feel that my singular campaigning against a single issue would be an unfruitful endeavor – a fuzz in the wind compared to the vortex windstorm of a political party’s agenda. A salmon swimming upstream. That’s just my thought though. It is very interesting food for thought, and I appreciate you taking the time to read and join the conversation!! Hugs and love xox

  36. Well said, Carolyn. Sometimes, we must speak out for those who have no voice. We are talking about worldviews here, more than political parties. Jesus also said to suffer the little children. In NYC, where you live, a black baby has a greater chance of being aborted than being born. That’s racial genocide.

  39. This really saddens me. It’s so easy to pick a scripture and run with it and truthfully it can be done with both parties. What story comes to mind to me is when the woman was about to be stoned and Jesus stepped in, both sides were full of sin but in defending her he also did not condone what she had done. When Jesus steps in he takes over he doesn’t choose sides. In my humanness I recognize that I cannot throw a stone at any candidate because I am either the rock thrower or the one being stoned. I am not in a place to judge either. However in his infinite power I also realize that I in my limited power I have no say on who gets elected. only he does and it gives me peace to know it’s already predistined. On this day in this hour God knows who is going to be the next President and he has a planned worked out already. My prayer is that regardless, I will always seek to find Jesus rather than to point out sin. In the deepest part of all of us, we are making decisions based off what we think is right. I cannot clean your filter just like I cannot clean my own. I don’t agree with a lot of things but I also remember the bible tells me one sin is not greater than the other. I respect your input nevertheless.

    2. This is an excellent point you bring to the discussion. I struggle with this myself. My bible study leader just last year brought home the point that there are no ‘big’ or ‘small’ sins, and I have to admit my tendency toward judgmentalism is a more constant sin than some others that I used to see as fairly major sins in others!!! Thanks for this well-written response.

We may never find a candidate that we 100% support, but if we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us we will make decisions that align more closely with God’s word. I hope you are doing well. Bless you!

  47. Read your post and there is so much that I could say. I also read some of the posts from others and to be honest the divide is so much more than what Kamala believes in. This country is really a mess, so voting for someone who believes differently than her won’t fix it. I know that God loves us all and forgives us all. I feel we will never ever be as one here on earth and to be honest if our actions here determines our fate we won’t be in Heaven either. I know that sounds harsh but hate runs deep here and it is showing so much these last few years. Let me be clear, when I say we, I am referring to our country, no one in particular, so to have hatred the way that we do, we have already lost the battle in God’s eyes. Yes love His littles ones as He does. My last thought, I really hate how people are going after Kamala. Regardless of anything, women whether you like them are not are a force to wrecking with, not be torn down as some have done in their response to you. This is exactly what I meant about being people of God!! Blessings

  49. I’m also prolife and understand your concern but do believe we need to look at the whole candidate. How do they protect the underserved and unrepresented communities of all categories? What about our environment? What about immigrants fleeing terrifying circumstances in their homeland? What about putting people before the economy?

  50. As a person living in the Philippines, I don’t know much about Kamala and thank you for this post as I get more information about her. However, I could see the moral decay of the United States. It isn’t what it is before when the US is in the forefront in defending moral standards. I lament for the US. A house divided can never stand on its own.

    Personally, my strong belief is not to vote. This world is not the world of God but the world of Satan. God is the One of sets and removes leaders and He can use the bad circumstances to fulfill His purpose. What we, Christians, should focus on is how we can better become a citizen of God’s kingdom, how we can enter into that, and most importantly, pray for it to come.

    I admire your post and I would really not support anyone who support abortion. The only solution to this world’s problems is the coming Kingdom of Yahweh and may He speeds up that day.
