‘It’s Murder’: Franklin Graham Opposes Biden’s Use of ‘God’ to Defend Abortion Rights

 

‘It’s Murder’: Franklin Graham Opposes Biden’s Use of ‘God’ to Defend Abortion Rights

05-05-2022 CBN News Billy Hallowell, Faithwire

President Joe Biden was torched by conservatives and Christians this week when he defended abortion and railed against attempts to thwart it, in part, by noting he is a “child of God.”

The Rev. Franklin Graham was among those who took issue with Biden’s comments, with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association president calling abortion a “sin” and likening it to “murder.”

“Biden said that the right to an abortion comes from being a ‘child of God.’ Mr. President, that is just not true,” Graham tweeted. “Being a child of God does not give you the right to take the lives of the innocent. Abortion is a sin— simply put, it‘s murder.”Related

Biden’s State Department Slips Abortion into Human Rights Report


Biden made his controversial remarks Wednesday while lambasting a draft Supreme Court opinion indicating the justices could overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that ushered in nationalized abortion protections.

“As I said when this hit…this is about a lot more than abortion,” the president said. “I hadn’t read the whole opinion at that time.”

Biden then spoke about the origination of rights, stating such liberties don’t come from the government but originate as a result of being a “child of God.” He referred to a past debate with the late Robert Bork, a judge whose nomination to the Supreme Court was rejected, to make his point.

“This reminds me of the debate I had with Robert Bork. Bork believed the only reason you had any inherent rights is because the government gave them to you,” Biden claimed. “I said, ‘I believe I have the rights that I have not because the government gave them to me, which you believe, but because I’m just a child of God, I exist.’”

He then pivoted to decry the notion that there is “no right to privacy” and launched into wild speculation about what could happen next if the Supreme Court does, indeed, overturn Roe.

“What happens if you have [a state change] the law saying that children who are LGBTQ can’t be in classrooms with other children. Is that legit under the way the decision’s written?” Biden asked. “What are the next things that are going to be attacked because this MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that’s existed in history, in recent American history.”

Biden’s comments drew rebuke on a variety of fronts. From his insult of former President Donald Trump supporters to his pondering about LGBTQ issues, reactions were swift.

But it was the “child of God” comment that triggered some of the most stunned reactions. Political fundraiser Beth Baumann joined Graham and others in their rebuke, tweeting, “Biden literally just made the case against abortion.”

Her point, of course, is that Biden is using language about human value — the same language pro-lifers use to explain why killing unborn babies — made in God’s image — is immoral.

Others, like Twitter user @Bergfeld24, noted Biden’s oft-times heralded Catholic faith and pondered how it mixed with these comments about abortion.

“Invoking God to justify your reason for supporting abortion seems a little off to me,” @Bergfeld24 wrote. “Especially when Biden claims to be a Catholic and the Catholic faith believes life begins at conception.”

As Faithwire previously reported, Biden drew similar ire of conservatives and Christians last month, when he said transgender people are “made in the image of God” and proclaimed one of the best ways parents can keep transgender children “safe and healthy” is to affirm their “child’s identity.”

“To parents of transgender children, affirming your child’s identity is one of the most powerful things you can do to keep them safe and healthy,” Biden said in an official White House video.

Twitter censoring pro-life movie UNPLANNED - LIVE ACTION Lila Rose


LA Logo.jpg

Abortion advocates and their allies in the media will stop at nothing to silence pro-life voices.
Inexplicably, Twitter suspended the official account for the new pro-life movie, Unplanned, earlier today during its opening weekend.
Fortunately, after a swift and immediate backlash, Twitter restored the movie’s account this afternoon, but that’s not the only challenge this movie has faced...
In addition to Unplanned receiving an R rating, the movie was also denied rights to music from Disney, Sony, and Universal, and was rejected for advertising on almost every TV network outside of Fox News.
Steve, it’s clear abortion advocates are desperate to kill any buzz from building for the film, because they know just how powerful this story is...
I’m not sure what you know about the movie, but it’s the true story of former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson and her pro-life conversion.
I am grateful to have had a part in the making of this movie, as I play a reporter in the film. In real life, my photo was hung up inside Abby's clinic so Planned Parenthood staff could identify me if I was undercover at their facility, and Abby and I eventually became friends later.

With the two Abby Johnsons...real life Abby (middle) and movie Abby (Ashley Bratcher - left).
Abby was actually a “star” employee at Planned Parenthood, but that all changed after she witnessed an ultrasound-guided abortion on a baby at 13 weeks. Ever since that moment, she has been an outspoken advocate for the preborn, and has founded a ministry, And Then There Were None, to help clinic workers leave the abortion industry behind.
This is why abortion advocates want to silence this movie. If a Planned Parenthood employee could change their mind after learning the truth about abortion, then any “pro-choice” individual could too.
I hope you will make time this weekend to go see Unplanned - as its success on the opening weekend will determine if theaters continue to show it.
Make sure you take your family, friends, neighbors, but most importantly, if you are able to convince them, take someone who is “pro-choice” to see the film!
Even the most hardened pro-abortion individuals can change their minds, they just need to have their eyes opened. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
