Trump will speak to a Christian group that calls for abortion to be ‘eradicated entirely’

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Donald Trump on Monday will address a Christian group that calls for abortion to be “eradicated entirely,” as the presumptive Republican nominee again takes on an issue that Democrats want to make a focus of this year’s presidential election.

The former president is scheduled to speak virtually at an event hosted by The Danbury Institute, which is meeting in Indianapolis in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Danbury Institute, an association of churches, Christians and organizations, says on its website that it believes “that the greatest atrocity facing our generation today is the practice of abortion” and it “must be ended.”

“We will not rest until it is eradicated entirely,” the group said.

Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the overturning of a federally guaranteed right to abortion — having nominated three of the justices who overturned Roe v. Wade — but has resisted supporting a national abortion ban and says he wants to leave the issue to the states.

1. So I'm guessing they are named after the Danbury Baptists

They seemed to have missed the meaning of Jefferson’s letter to that group


MISSION
The Danbury Institute is an association of churches, Christians, and organizations aligned to affirm and preserve God-given rights to life and liberty by influencing culture and public policy, upholding the free exercise of religion, inspiring the vigorous involvement of an informed citizenry, and promoting Judeo-Christian values as the proper foundation for a free and prosperous republic.

2. Good eye!

It does look like that's where they got their name (https://www.christianpost.com/news/churches-christian-leaders-unite-to-form-the-danbury-institute.html ), and you're right, they seem to be rejecting Jefferson's thoughts about Church & State.

4. They love latching on to themes regardless of how ironic it is.

The Danbury Institute's operational strategies, led by COO Collin Hain, will focus on informing and empowering churches and pastors to actively participate in governance. By advocating on behalf of Christian voices in Washington, the organization aims to ensure that Judeo-Christian values continue to inform the nation's future.

5. I reckon they also have missed the meaning of the Gospel.

Are they feeding the hungry, helping the sick, visiting the prisoners, welcoming the strangers?

Do they serve the least of us or do they serve the most powerful?

3. So for this "Christian" group, the end justices the means.

Voting for one of the most evil, despicable Americans, who would destroy our country and way of life doesn’t matter to them.

6. Yep. It's all about putting women in their place--under the boot heel of men.
