Gary discusses pro-abortion nonsense being spoken by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.
The topic of abortion has become an absolute dividing line in today’s political wars. The Democratic Party believes a woman should have the legal right to kill her unborn baby anytime up to conception on the grounds of “mental health.” A new Virginia law includes the following that would permit an unborn baby to be aborted if “the continuation of the pregnancy is likely to result in the death of the woman or impair the mental or physical health of the woman.” All a woman would have to do is declare that her mental health would be impaired if she delivers her baby alive. That’s a slippery slope loophole if there ever was one.
Democrats believe that even a “fully formed” fetus can be killed. This is hardly the Christian position. Since the Democratic Party supports abortion throughout a woman’s pregnancy it would mean that the abortion of Jacob and Esau, John the Baptist, and Jesus would have been lawful any time up to birth.
In the final analysis, the Democratic Party supports the right of the mother to kill the baby in the sanctuary of the mother’s womb even when fully formed. In addition, the Democratic Party is calling for the end of the Hyde Amendment that prohibited tax dollars being used to pay for abortions. Here’s how Rep. Barbara Lee, a Democrat from Oakland, CA, defends taxpayer funding of abortion:
It’s an issue of racial justice and it’s an issue of discrimination against low-income women, women of color, women who don’t have access to what middle- and upper-income women have in terms of the choice to have an abortion.
In the United States, the abortion rate for black women is almost five times that of white women. “The Black Panthers in the early 1970s claimed that legalized abortion would ‘destroy our people.’ Jesse Jackson, in a 1970s interview with Jet magazine, characterized abortion as ‘black genocide.’”
Gary discusses pro-abortion nonsense being spoken by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear against Vice-Presidential candidate JD Vance. The level of irrationality being promoted by the party of death is stunning, yet media personalities and talking heads continue to swallow and repeat the insanity.

Restoring the Foundation of Civilization
There are many Christians who will not participate in civilization-building efforts that include economics, journalism, politics, education, and science because they believe (or have been taught to believe) these areas of thought are outside the realm of what constitutes a Christian worldview. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Dear Mr. DeMar,
Thank you for writing this article. “Health of the mother” is indeed a slippery slope. I must urge you to become an abolitionist, as from certain phrasing in this article I conclude that you are not. Yes, late-term abortion is barbaric, but is not more barbaric than an early abortion. Life is stolen, either way. Christ was as much Christ at coclnception as he is now. Abortion should not be allowed for any reason: heath of the mother, rape, incest–these are all bad reasons to murder a child. There is never a good reason to murder a baby, for he is an image-bearer of God. Abolish abortion to the glory of God!
