Most of my friends and family members are Evangelical Christians and not a one of them would vote for Biden, nor did they vote for Hillary. It's pretty obvious that abortion, all abortion but especially full term abortion, is against everything that Jesus stood for. I can't even imagine how the Dems like Biden and Pelosi who claim to practice Roman Catholicism reconcile their evil agenda with Biblical doctrine.

Now that President Trump has three justices on the Court, I believe that some of these 'single issue' anti abortion people (like one of my sisters) will either not bother to vote, or leave the Presidential choice blank.





Said sister intensely dislikes Mr. Trump, but so long as he was against abortion and promised to put justices on the court, she would vote for him again. Yet, now with Justice Barrett on the court, and everyone yelping about a 6-3 court, she told me she doesn't care if he is re-elected, and certainly would not vote for him (or for Biden).



That is just one person. But I bet a percentage of her demographic (69 years old, Christian, retired, etc) feels the same. Why risk Covid 19 by going to the polls?


It is why I felt that Mr. Trump should have made that vacant seat a campaign issue; vote for me and I will put on a conservative justice. Yet, I bet that Senator McConnell is behind the push to confirm prior to election, he not liking the way the wind is blowing.

The Catholic Church has never distinguished between types of abortion (except those related to the health of the mother) so nice try... And it's church doctrine not Biblical doctrine. You also have to take into account the Catholic Church is against birth control, artificial insemination, most wars, euthanasia, and neglecting the poor. They have also spoken out against Trumps immigration policy and against obvious and sublte forms of racism. Voting 'as a Catholic' is basically a near impossible task. It's getting to be humorous how much non-Catholics fetishize the Catholic Church's stance n abortion while ignoring the church entirely on every other issue.

I know, lol. Because if the Huffington Post said it, and especially if it involves Evangelical Christians which they despise, then it must be true.

Religion and politics are a terrible mix and were voting for a political leader not a spiritual one, too many forget that...

How any true christian can take a fanatical stand on abortion while looking the other way on every other moral issue is beyond me.

Keep hoping-

You have two more days of fantasy in which there is a Biden presidency. Your hopes will be dashed later on Tuesday evening when you realize that all the polls and the liberal propaganda misled you (again).

Reality will set in for libs on Wednesday morning and if you open your door, you will be able to hear the audible teeth gnashing coming from either coast.

You folks seriously believe this. The only "Christians" supporting Biden are liberal ones who have voted left for years.

It has to do with killing versus doing what King David did before setting up a murder. The person cheated on has the ability to recover, the dead not so much don't you think.
