Welcome, friends, to this discussion where we delve into the complex intersection of politics and morality, specifically concerning the value of human life. It’s a sobering task to consider that in the United States today, a major political party has demonstrated a complete disregard for the lives of the most vulnerable among us. The sad truth is that 100% of the Senate Democrats have voted against protecting babies who survive abortion procedures, choosing instead to deny them any care or protection. This is not a matter of semantics or differing opinions, it is a clear indication of a party that has lost its moral compass.

Let us be clear about the issue at hand. This is not a discussion about the ethics of abortion itself, although that is a critical matter. We are discussing the fate of a child who has survived an abortion attempt and has been born alive. This child, having narrowly escaped death, is now faced with a political party that would deny them basic care and protections. This is not about a fetus in the womb; it’s about a living, breathing human being outside the womb. The implications of such a stance are staggering.

It’s often argued that pro-lifers are only concerned with the fetus, not the child after birth. But the actions of the Democratic party demonstrate that the opposite may be true. They are unwilling to provide care for a child who has survived abortion. This exposes a disturbing reality: the pro-abortion movement does not value the lives of children, born or unborn. This is not simply a political issue; it is a profound moral crisis.

As a Christian, I view politics through the lens of a biblical worldview. This perspective should inform my political engagement. I cannot reconcile a political party that is willing to sacrifice an entire class of human beings with the principles of God’s word, which prohibits the shedding of innocent blood. While the Republican party is far from perfect, it does not actively promote the wholesale destruction of innocent human life. The Democratic party, however, does. They have made it clear that unborn humans, and even those who survive abortion, are expendable.

Some may accuse me of being a Republican partisan, but I want to emphasize: my support for the Republican party is entirely contingent on their continued alignment with the pro-life cause. I am not a Republican out of some ingrained loyalty. My alignment is due to my moral convictions and my belief that the Republican party is the best available option for limiting the evil of abortion in our current political landscape. My allegiance will shift if another party were to champion the cause of life.

Many Christians struggle with political involvement. They may feel it is too messy, too corrupt, or simply not worth the effort. I argue that Christians do not have the option to remain on the sidelines. We have a moral duty to engage in the political sphere, to apply our biblical ethics to the real world. This will be messy, with no perfect candidates or parties, but we are called to promote good and limit evil. We must do what we can to fight for the most vulnerable and to hold our political leaders accountable for their actions.

Consider the moral implications of a political party that is willing to deny protection to a child who has already survived an abortion. This is not a trivial matter. It’s a stark illustration of a deep moral decay within our political system. Leading Democrats such as Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer have chosen to prioritize abortion over the value of human life. As Christians, we must recognize the inherent evil of this position.

It is critical to recognize that we live in a fallen world. We cannot expect perfection in our political system. However, we are called to do our best to promote good and limit evil. This means engaging with the political realm, applying our biblical ethics and speaking out against injustice. We must stand up for the unborn and for those children who survive abortion, recognizing the moral gravity of this issue and the role we each play in defending the defenseless.

In closing, I encourage you to be informed, engaged, and courageous in the political sphere. Do not allow apathy or despair to silence your voice. Instead, stand firm in your principles and demand that our political leaders uphold the value of human life, from conception to natural end. There is a real political evil that is being presented, and it is a moral obligation to confront it directly.
