    I am the mom of a 40 year old daughter. When I was 39 I had an early miscarriage due to undiagnosed uterine cancer. My doctor performed a d&c, and then later a hysterectomy to make sure all my 1B cancer was gone. I am a Christian. I am pro life. But I know from my experiences that we as women have all kind of heartbreaking things that can happen with our reproductive systems beyond our control. I have compassion for all women, who like me have faced such unbelievable pain and unimaginable heartbreak.
    So when I hear a so called Christian leader or pastor say we have to vote for Trump, I think of women like me, who will die due to being unable to get the gynecological care they need. My daughter has fewer rights now than I did before roe was repealed!
    And I cannot comprehend or follow any so called Christian leader or politician who supports Trump. Trump is a convicted rapist, an adulterer, a traitor, a racist who is full of hate and malice. How any man can support Trump who is a rapist and boasts of taking away the healthcare of the women in men’s lives say they love their wife, their sister, their mother or daughter is beyond my comprehension! His Christian nationalist followers say he is like David, Trump says he is God’s chosen and his blasphemy makes me sick at heart. Is it any wonder why so many are leaving the churches here. The misogyny towards women in the church is overwhelming! And the hatred of so many men towards women in society.
    Where is the compassion in the church for those in need? In desperate situations? I do not see the love of Christ in the Christian nationalists, just greed for money and power. I voted for Kamala Harris. Her compassion and empathy, and yes, her joy is what we so desperately need in the USA right now. And hope for a better future! Trump and his rhetoric have been like a cancer spreading across my country. I fear for my country and democracy if he wins the presidency again. He envies and admires dictators, and he wants to be one! God forbid Trump ever gets the presidency again or has access to the nuclear codes! Please pray for the USA. We need it so desperately right now! Thank you!

As for pro choice or prolife, i can only say that while I couldn't get an abortion, i don't have any right or desire to regulate what other women do or need to do.

I'm still looking for scripture focusing on Abortion. Jesus said love God and your neighbour as yourself and then dropped the mic. A friend shocked me but made me think.

    This was the deal since Jerry Falwell's _Moral Majority_ in the 1970s. Even then abortion access wasn't a particularly big issue for the ministries, but it was an anger point Falwell could latch on to: He convinced the GOP candidates to be anti-abortion-access (it was not well understood, and an easy concession), and then tell his voting bloc the GOP is going to save all the unborn babies and preserve family values. This was (I think) the first time the single-issue voter was recognized and exploited. And it got Reagan into power in 1980, just after we had the nicest president ever.
    Family values since then have been represented by stripping down government social services while expecting Christian ministries to take up the slack (non-Christian ministries were ineligible for government subsidies). Sex ed in schools was replaced with abstinence-only education (featuring a lot of transactionalist-marriage stereotypes and false data). The ownership class got lots of tax breaks, and everyone was mostly distracted by the War in Iraq and the International War on Terror. Featuring torture and PMCs and black ops (that would turn into drone-strikes). Kurt Vonnegut even called out the religious right before he died, and Carter walked away from the Southern Baptist Church noting that it not longer represented what he believed.
    So by the time the _Jesus Gets Us_ propaganda campaign came out, the US was entirely skeptical that it meant what it said, and by then the internet was up and it didn't take much investigation to learn that it was more about ministries fishing for tithes than it was a call for ministries to return to the beatitudes and to offer compassion and mercy. It showed the world Jesus was no longer a philosophy or ideology, but a brand for commercial interests.
    It's why I think we can't rely on Jesus or Christianity as a shorthand for an ideology, because the brand can be repurposed to sell french fries, or monarchy. We have to instead rely on the doctrine itself, without shorthand. We can't vote for the guy out ministries tell us to, or the one who promises allegiance to Jesus. We have to vote for the guy who makes sure students have school lunches and tampons.

      I’m an older person, and I remember this history. The Moral Majority, which, despite its name, was a PAC, not a religious organization, had really gotten ahold of the GOP by the time I could vote in my first election. The Moral Majority was neither. By the end of Reagan’s second term, it was losing support, and shut down shortly after. I kinda thought we were rid of the whole mess, until it came back with a vengeance.
      Incidentally, if you look back just a smidge further than Roe, you can find the link between the rise of the MM and the issue that was the true catalyst that spawned the desire to find a polarizing issue from which political power could be gained. That issue was not actually abortion. Instead, that issue was the desire to allow for the continuation of segregation in schools (a la Bob Jones university.) But, they certainly couldn’t appeal to the masses, religious or otherwise, with that one, given the changing views of the time. They considered other issues of the day, such as equal rights for women. They didn’t figure they could get wide appeal on that one, either. Eventually, abortion was selected as the issue that could most likely have the widest appeal to get them the backing they needed, so they ran with it. For them, abortion as a moral issue was, and still is, nothing more than a political tool to reign in paying supporters and voters by pretending to align with their religious convictions. And, unsurprisingly, racism was at the foundation of the movement.

    I think that for a portion of these professed Christians, it's not so much that they think 45 is "godly", more that "the other side" appears to be "ungodly", and therefore the privileged rich boy is "godly" purely by default. And any fact that tarnishes that thin veil, is to be ignored, brushed off, or denounced, because they can't bear the idea that "the other side" has any positives to them, or should hold power.

    I know a Marxist who goes out and feeds the homeless seven days a week. I’ve never seen a preacher do that.
    I’ve seen a socialist buy winter coats every spring and store them in an empty room in his house until fall moves into winter. He always has three or four in the trunk of his car. If he sees someone without a coat, he has one to give away on the spot or he will take that person back to his house to make sure they have a coat. I’ve never seen a preacher do that.
    I’m not so sure those preachers are who they say they are.

    The notion that “I’m voting for the policy, not the candidate” is so sad. It says “the ends justify the means.” It says the candidate’s behavior doesn’t matter nor how antithetical their actions are to Christ. How many people is that example turning away from the church?

    I had another thought on this: the woman with the issue of blood in the New Testament Luke 8:43-48. Verses 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,[a] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
    45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
    When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
    46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
    47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
    Jesus showed compassion, and understanding, she was considered unclean under Jewish law due to her bleeding. So she should not have touched him , but her desperation for a cure and her faith in Jesus brought healing to her. 12 years of suffering and misery…gone in a moment. That is the compassion and love that should be shown in the church today. Sharing Jesus love, light, and truth. May we all continue to share His love and compassion to everyone, and be His hands extended…

    This is exactly the argument for separation of church and state. The Constitution states "We hold these truths self-evident." There is nothing self-evident about Blind Faith religion. A person's faith is their own. They have the right to believe what they want but they do not have the right to force it on others or control people's lives by electing a "false prophet" simply because they believe their blind faith tells them to.

    Rightwing Republicans view God as a monolithic, unchanging, and rigid god who holds obedience above love and subservience above freedom. He is also a weak god who needs Republicans to enforce his will on earth. He is a god who cannot tolerate cultural change or cultural progress. We are to remain in a medieval dogma for eternity. Progressives see God as a dynamic and living God who self-reflects and grows as we grow. He is at the vanguard of human progress. He is all powerful and encompassing. He directs the world as he sees fit and does not need our interference to achieve his goals. One is living and evolving. The other is dead and rigid as stone.

    “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.” - Barry Goldwater, Republican, 1960s

    Seems like I have heard that there are, also, a number of sermons on Paul's letters saying that Christians should not be part of the world; that Christians serve their time on Earth waiting for the Rapture of the Saints and the events suggested by the Book of Revelations.
    Yet Jesus taught us to pray that "...[God's] will be done on Earth..."
    So who you gonna follow...
    * The one who told half of us to sit down and shut up even while taking the support from that half and occasionally lifting those people up
    or
    * The one who told us to feed the hungry, provide drink for the thirsty, take in the refugee/homeless/stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit (ensure adequate treatment) for the prisoner.
    Not really posing this as an either / or, both / and can work as long as there is balance.

    The Biblical truth about Trump, other than the 30+ verses that describe the Antichrist that Trump & Co match:
    Isaiah 2:22 - _Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?_
    Psalm 146:3-4 - _Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save. When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish._
    Jeremiah 17:5 - This is what the LORD says: *_“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes the flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD."_*

    Whether they are considered errant Christians or just church goers doesn't matter. They left or avoided the teachings of Christ. They may think they are the best of Christians, but like all of us they need to do a self evaluation . I feel Christians have an obligation to vote to help those in need. To not vote is not very far from voting for trump. This faulty Christian, after much prayer, reflection, and study, will confidently vote Democrat and is glad to do so.

      The constitution that is the supreme law of the land forbids any
      religious test as qualification for a president of a secular republic
      that is the USA. So it is not even legal to be applying such criteria
      to any federal election as so many people are trying to do, and
      exceeds the scope of the legal contract under which the election
      is being conducted. From a purely legal standpoint what is being
      done to apply a prohibited religious test in defiance of the law
      could be argued nullifies the entire proposition of the election.
      The election of a president is not a piety contest, nor is the
      appointment of any judge or any military officer. Profound
      absurdity is shown to apply a religious test to what is not a
      choosing of a church leader, but choosing a CEO of a nation
      who is also chief law enforcement officer, and military chief.
      When a person chooses a surgeon or a ship captain do they
      choose the most qualified based on a religious test, or is it
      a priority for proficiency at the job expected as their duty?

    Trump is a imposter deceiving many Christians. He loves money and gold. You can not serve two masters. You will love one and hate the other you cannot serve both God and money!
    “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
    Matthew 6:24
    Near the end of His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus issued this stark warning to His listeners: “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15).
    For many imposters (seducers, deceivers, and false leaders) have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge (confess, admit) the coming of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) in bodily form.
    2 John 1:7-13
    Trump is Antichrist just as Hitler was deceiving the masses! Hitler killed millions of Jews! Trump wants to be like Hitler!
