Recently, evangelical Christians who originally supported President Joe Biden issued an open letter admitting that they were “used and betrayed” by the Democratic Party because they were left out of the so-called Communist China Virus Relief for Blue States (COVID-19) bill.
The letter explains, “We are very disappointed that the COVID-19 relief package excludes the Hyde Amendment, a long-standing bipartisan policy designed to prevent taxpayer funding of abortion. We are even more disappointed that the Biden Administration supported this.”
The evangelicals also recalled in the letter, “The Biden team wanted to talk to us during the campaign to gain our support, and we offered to support him on the condition that we have an active dialogue on abortion and reach a common solution, but there has been no dialogue since the campaign.”
The letter also said that many evangelicals and Catholics have risked their public support for Biden. Biden and Democrats need to respect their courage.
Evangelicals, on a website urging their insiders to pick the Democratic presidential nominee, have claimed that despite disagreements on abortion, “we believe that, on balance, Biden’s policies are more consistent with a biblically shaped ethic of life than Trump‘s.”
But as almost everyone knows, the Democratic establishment almost universally supports abortion on demand. Rod Dreher, a senior American conservative editor (and Trump critic), said, “I understand not voting for Trump out of Christian principles. But I don’t understand your support for Biden because you think, you really think, that that Democratic president would not be a pro-abortion zealot.”
Washington Examiner columnist Becket Adams wrote in August 2020 that it is unclear whether President Trump is personally a staunch pro-lifer. Regardless, however, Trump has succeeded in becoming the most pro-life president at least since the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade in 1973.
Adams added that Trump has done and said more for the pro-life movement than any other president in the past 40-plus years.
The Hill reported last October that more than 1,600 faith leaders have endorsed Democratic nominee Joe Biden, the largest group of clergy in modern history to support a Democratic presidential candidate, including some who could influence the evangelical vote.
Twitter users have bemoaned the fact that the gullible evangelical community is so late in recognizing the Democratic Party, with some even rhetorically outraged.
One user said, “You’re idiots! You’re pro-life Christians who voted for the most pro-abortion president in history who just gave the order that our tax dollars will go to fund abortions around the world. You are fools!”
Another user wrote: “Every week a new group comes out and says how much they regret electing this guy and every Time I just think ‘I don’t know what they expected’. If you don’t research even a little bit of a politician’s history, it’s your own fault. Don’t ever take their word for it when they can lie in public.”
