Lo siento, pero Donald Trump no es "Pro-Vida" 1NOV16





Cada vez más el ala derecha "pro-vida" están siendo llamados por su hipocresía, y es sobre todo debido a las alas derecha evangélica justificación de su apoyo a la campaña drumpf / trompeta-peniques debido a su retórica "pro-vida" . La hermana Joan Chittister y Pres Jimmy Carter pusieron en términos muy claros, señalando a favor de la natalidad no es el mismo que el pro-vida y elegir candidatos que constantemente votan para negar la financiación adecuada para la red de seguridad social de Estados Unidos no representa los valores cristianos. + benjaminlcorey   expone Donald drumpf / triunfo para el fraude "pro-vida" que es y desafía a los valores cristianos de los partidarios del billete drumpf / trompeta-peniques.

Como hemos visto a las elecciones se desarrollan durante esta temporada política dolorosamente largo, hemos visto a los cristianos evangélicos oscilar de un extremo a otro. Durante la temporada de elecciones primarias, los evangélicos eran en su mayoría vocales sobre cómo horrible Donald Trump es como candidato presidencial, en un punto que provocó todo el movimiento #NeverTrump. Sin embargo, cuando se convirtió en el candidato, finalmente consiguieron en bordo- al menos la mayoría de ellos.
Una y otra vez, la justificación Evangélica para apoyar Trump básicamente se reduce a un punto: Él es "pro-vida".
Incluso si eso fuera cierto, ya he desmentido la creencia de que esto significaría nada tangible, como  se trataba de un Escoto republicano que legalizó el aborto, y un Escoto Republicano que la confirmó en Planificación de la Familia v. Casey .
Pero eso es casi irrelevant- porque me siento, pero Donald Trump no es "pro-vida".
En el corazón y la esencia de lo que significa ser pro-vida es una creencia profunda e inamovible, que toda la vida tiene valor y el valor infinito, y que este valor innato debe ser algo que como un honor a la cultura y el valor.
Ahí es donde begins- ser pro-vida y Donald Trump no compartir esa creencia fundamental.
Trump puede reclamar para compartir esa creencia fundamental, pero su comportamiento nos muestra lo contrario- y la Biblia nos recuerda que podemos conocer un buen árbol de un árbol malo por la fruta que lleva.
Es decir, 'cmon, la gente. Vamos a utilizar realmente el cerebro que Dios nos dio y piensan éste a través.
Nada sobre decir, "Me gusta tomar sólo las mujeres por el coño" refleja la opinión de que todas las personas tienen un valor sagrado y que deben ser respetados.
Nada de burla a las personas con discapacidad física dice que una persona tiene una creencia fundamental de que toda vida tiene valor y el valor.
Nada sobre el acaparamiento de una mujer y besándola sin consentimiento, decirle a un empleado que había "parece realmente buena de rodillas", o decir que es difícil para las mujeres con pechos pequeños para ser bella, nos dice que es un hombre que cree que la imagen de Dios en los demás debe ser respetada y protegida.
Nada sobre la deportación de los padres indocumentados de niños nacidos de Estados Unidos, la destrucción de las unidades familiares y la creación de los huérfanos, habla a una creencia fundamental acerca del valor de la vida humana.
Nada sobre la defensa que matar a toda la familia de los sospechosos de terrorismo nos dice que él cree que toda la vida es sagrada.
De hecho, ni siquiera necesito seguir esta lista con el fin de darse cuenta de que no sólo es totalmente falso que Donal Trump es pro-vida, sería más exacto decir que Donald Trump es el  mínimo  candidato pro-vida para funcionar para el presidente en la historia moderna.
Afirmar que Donal Trump es pro-vida quiere decir que uno puede pertenecer a un movimiento sin * * realmente creer en las creencias fundamentales que un movimiento dado se basa en.
Hay un montón de espacio para el desacuerdo en lo que significa ser pro-vida. Algunas personas pro-vida creen en la penalización del aborto (vuelco Roe v. Wade), mientras que otros de nosotros creemos que esto sería ineficaz y en realidad causar más daño sin reducir abortos. Algunos creen en la predicación de ello en la esquina de la calle, mientras que algunos de nosotros preferimos vivir una vida más tranquila que cultivan una cultura de la vida.
Pero, ¿qué estamos todos de acuerdo? La una creencia que todos compartimos en común es que la vida humana es sagrada, que debe ser valorada, protegida, y honrado.
No estamos de acuerdo y el debate sobre la forma en que la creencia debe ser vivido en la cultura. No estamos de acuerdo y el debate sobre el papel del gobierno en este sistema ético y qué leyes o restricciones son beneficiosos o perjudiciales.
Nos disagre y debate sobre un montón de cosas. Pero lo que no estamos en desacuerdo sobre la premisa ética es: toda vida es sagrada.
No registrado delincuente sexual Donald Trump no comparte esta creencia; sus acciones en un testigo del oso a diario para que la verdad.
Por lo tanto, estoy siento- pero no, Donald Trump no es pro-vida.
Y si usted piensa que él es, así, entonces creo que te has perdido profundamente a toda la premisa ética detrás del término.

I’m Sorry, But Donald Trump Is NOT “Pro-Life” 1NOV16




MORE and more the right wing "pro-lifers" are being called out for their hypocrisy, and it is mostly because of the evangelical right wings justification of their support for the drumpf/trump-pence campaign because of their "pro-life" rhetoric. Sister Joan Chittister and Pres Jimmy Carter laid it out in no uncertain terms, pointing out pro-birth is not the same as pro-life and electing candidates who consistently vote to deny adequate funding for the American social safety net does not represent Christian values. +benjaminlcorey  exposes donald drumpf/trump for the "pro-life" fraud he is and challenges the Christian values of supporters of the drumpf/trump-pence ticket. 

I’m Sorry, But Donald Trump Is NOT “Pro-Life”

As we’ve watched the election unfold during this painfully long political season, we’ve watched Evangelical Christians swing from one extreme to another. During the primary season, Evangelicals were overwhelmingly vocal about how horrid Donald Trump is as a presidential candidate, at one point sparking the whole #NeverTrump movement. Yet, when he became the nominee, they finally got on board– at least most of them.
Time and time again, the Evangelical justification for supporting Trump basically boils down to one point: He’s “pro-life.”
Even if that were true, I’ve already debunked the belief that this would tangibly mean anything, as it was a Republican SCOTUS that legalized abortion, and a Republican SCOTUS that upheld it in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
But that’s almost irrelevant– because I’m sorry, but Donald Trump is not “pro-life.”
At the heart and core of what it means to be pro-life is a deep, unshakable belief, that all life has infinite worth and value, and that this innate worth should be something we as a culture honor and value.
That’s where being pro-life begins– and Donald Trump doesn’t share that foundational belief.
Trump may claim to share that foundational belief, but his behavior shows us otherwise– and the Bible reminds us that we can know a good tree from a bad tree by the fruit that it bears.
I mean, ‘cmon, people. Let’s actually use the brains God gave us and think this one through.
Nothing about saying, “I like to just grab women by the pussy” reflects a view that all people have sacred value and that they should be honored.
Nothing about mocking people with physical disabilities says that a person holds a foundational belief that all life has worth and value.
Nothing about grabbing a woman and kissing her without consent, telling an employee that she’d “look really good down on her knees,” or saying that it’s hard for women with small breasts to be beautiful, tells us this is a man who believes that the image of God in others must be honored and protected.
Nothing about deporting the undocumented parents of U.S. born children, destroying family units and creating orphans, speaks to a foundational belief about the value of human life.
Nothing about advocating that we kill the entire families of suspected terrorists tells us that he believes that all life is sacred.
In fact, I don’t even need continue this list in order to realize that not only is it patently untrue that Donal Trump is pro-life, it would be more accurate to say that Donald Trump is the least pro-life candidate to run for president in modern history.
To claim that Donal Trump is pro-life is to say that one can belong to a movement without *actually* believing the foundational beliefs that a given movement is based upon.
There’s plenty of room for disagreement in what it means to be pro-life. Some pro-life people believe in criminalizing abortion (overturning Roe v. Wade), while others of us believe that this would be both ineffective and actually cause more harm without reducing abortions. Some believe in preaching about it on the street corner, while some of us prefer to live more quiet lives that cultivate a culture of life.
But what do we all agree on? The one belief we all share in common is that human life is sacred, that it should be valued, protected, and honored.
We disagree and debate over how that belief should be lived out in culture. We disagree and debate over the role of government in this ethical system and which laws or restrictions would be helpful or harmful.
We disagre and debate on a lot of things. But what we don’t disagree on is the ethical premise: all life is sacred.
Unregistered sex offender Donald Trump doesn’t share that belief– his actions on a daily basis bear witness to that truth.
So, I’m sorry– but no, Donald Trump is not pro-life.
And if you think he is, well, then I think you’ve profoundly missed the entire ethical premise behind the term.

Personhood now has a 0-5 win-loss record in elections 5NOV14

THE hypocrisy on this issue is very clear. The so called "religious" groups pushing personhood amendments claim to be pro-life. Their policies do not include adequate funding for SNAP (food stamps), health care, education, day care, housing subsidies, job training, unemployment insurance and all the other social safety net programs needed by so many in our country. They do not support raising the minimum wage, a living wage and fair pay for women. These are all pro-life issues benefiting children, women, families, and they are either opposed by or are not supported by these groups. So they are hypocrites. These people and the politicians they support, mostly gop / tea-baggers and some democrats are doubly hypocritical because they also claim they want the government out of their lives except for controlling the reproductive aspects of women's bodies. Fortunately, for now, the American people in every region across the country, regardless of the politics of their state, have rejected by solid majorities every "personhood" amendment put before them on election ballots. Pro-life politics don't end at birth and the American people understand this. So while they may not be voting for funding and doing all the things listed above needed to be pro life they are also rejecting the hypocrisy of the groups and politicians to legislate children being born into poverty, neglect and abuse.

Personhood now has a 0-5 win-loss record in elections


Demonstrators in support of abortion and contraceptive rights read on their mobile phones as the ruling for Hobby Lobby against their cause was announced outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington June 30, 2014. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled th
Voters rejected personhood measures in Colorado and North Dakota Tuesday night, doing so for the third time in Colorado. In fact, these extreme anti-abortion measures, which put fetuses above women, have accumulated a serious record of rejection:
Before this year's failed initiative, Colorado voters rejected two other personhood ballot initiatives, once in 2008 and again in 2010. In both years, the measures failed by double-digit margins. Mississippi voted on a personhood ballot initiative in 2012. It failed, too, with more than 55 percent opposing the amendment. Legislators have introduced personhood bills in Oklahoma and Virginia but neither passed.
But while personhood has never had an actual life as a law, it's likely to keep rising out of the grave as a zombie, lurching around chasing us on rotten legs. That's because there are a few dedicated extremists who will keep dedicating their lives to this, no matter how soundly their cause is rejected by voters who don't want to see all abortion, in vitro fertilization, and some forms of birth control criminalized. So be ready to see a similar measure resurface in at least one state over the next election cycle or two.
