According to a 2013 study, 31% of post-abortive US women chose to have an abortion—chose to kill their unborn child—for “partner related reasons.” Because either the father of the child was not supportive, was not married to the mother, was abusive, was the “wrong guy,” or did not want the baby, 205,974 unborn children lost their lives in the year of the study. Let that sink in: over 200,000 children—and those are just the numbers we know about (many medicated abortions or “Plan B” abortions go unreported) and just one year of data for just one reason!
During an online fundraising event (called “White Dudes for Kamala”) for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, the Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, made these statements:
I’m so glad she [Harris] has made freedom the theme of her campaign because I think in so many ways that’s what’s at stake . . .
And yes, women’s freedom is Exhibit A, after Donald Trump demolished the right to choose [a reference to the overturning of Roe v. Wade] . . .
But of course men are also more free in a country where we have a president who stands up for things like access to abortion care . . . Men are more free when the leader of the free world and the leader of this country supports access to birth control and access to IVF.
Men are more free in a country with access to the murder of children? Yes, men are “more free” to abandon the women they use sexually, with no consequences. More free to “sleep around,” refuse to marry, or selfishly use their time, resources, and finances for themselves, instead of the child they helped create. Yes, more free to have affairs and cover them up or “pimp out” women and girls through sex trafficking and prostitution. Yes, men are “more free” when they can sacrifice their own children on the altar of their own pleasure—more free to sin against women, against their own children, against their own bodies, and against their Creator.
But such freedom Buttigieg talks about isn’t really freedom at all. It’s slavery to sin.
If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free . . .
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin” . . .
Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:31, 34, 43–44)
And its end is death.
But why does Buttigieg claim men are “more free” when it comes to having access to IVF? Well, he is a man “married” (it’s not true marriage at all as God defined marriage as one man and one woman—Genesis 2:24) to another man. Obviously, he and his partner cannot have children on their own—they need a woman. So for them to have their twins, they had to buy eggs from one woman and rent the womb of another, creating life via IVF . . . and purposefully depriving those children of their biological mother. That is evil and destructive to the family unit—children deserve both a mother and a father.
Creating a child to purposefully take him or her away from his or her mother and raising that child without that maternal figure is bad for children and therefore bad for our society.
Creating a child to purposefully take him or her away from his or her mother and raising that child without that maternal figure is bad for children and therefore bad for our society. But it’s the only option for men like Buttigieg—men who ignore God’s design and practice sexual immorality—to have a biological child.
The world of “freedom” Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and others, such as Harris’ running mate Tim Walz (who’s so pro-abortion that he claims Nancy Pelosi—who is extremely pro-abortion herself—told him he should tone it down!), want is a bloody, dark, selfish, cruel world that doesn’t honor or protect women and children but treats them as commodities to be used for a man’s pleasure and discarded when inconvenient. They crave child sacrifice.
What an evil world that is!
There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers. (Proverbs 6:16–19)
