More jobs or more mobs

When comparing voting issues, Pope Francis has indicated that he agreed with U.S. bishops on “identifying the protection of the unborn as a preeminent priority.” Planned Parenthood’s 2019 annual report states they committed 345,672 U.S. abortions. Killing a person on the basis of their size, age, level of development, environment or degree of dependency is as arbitrary as killing a person on the basis of their skin color. Our society hasn’t progressed. We have just shifted our violence to a more vulnerable victim.

Like most of today’s Democrat Congressmen, VP-candidate Kamala Harris (holder of the most-liberal Senate voting record) voted against the “bornalive infant protection” bill — a stance that was unthinkable until recent years when President Obama began to essentially support infanticide. If she is elected under Joe Biden’s ticket, sensible federal restrictions, such as the Hyde Amendment that restricts taxpayerfunding of abortions, will likely go by the wayside. We should be treating both mothers and her unborn children as healthcare patients, as pro-life crisis pregnancy centers advocate.

People of faith also face candidate platform extremes on issues of school choice (particularly helpful to urban minority children) and religious liberty. Recall the Obama-Biden administration issued federal HHS mandates that dragged numerous religious entities like the “Little Sisters of the Poor” to the Supreme Court.

As early as January, President Trump implemented a COVID-19 Task Force and the China travel ban, which Dr. Fauci thought saved many lives, but Sen. Joe Biden initially opposed the move.

We witnessed ongoing summer riots, fires, and increased violent crime in cities like Portland, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle and NYC. To liberal mayors and governors who silently backed the anarchists over law enforcement: Why are you not protecting your own people and the small business owners? The National Association of Police Officers have endorsed President Trump. Election voters will decide between more jobs or more mobs. Richard Beckwith
