Why I Am a One-Issue Voter

Ocy 28, 2020 by Jerry Newcombe

The issue of abortion has barely come up in the debates of Election 2020. But for many of us, it is still the issue that matters most.

I am a one issue voter, without apology, and that issue is abortion. I’m against it. If a politician thinks it is acceptable—whatever the rhetoric—to deliberately kill a living, developing human being in the womb, that politician is wrong. And he or she will never have my vote.

The issue of life is so basic. It is even the first Creator-given right listed in our nation’s birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence. Without life, how can there be liberty or the pursuit of happiness or the right to property? Or any other right?

Those politicians who get the issue of life wrong tend to get just about everything else wrong.

With the window to the womb that science provides today, the emperor has no clothes when they say that a baby is not being killed.

Remember the case of Abby Johnson, manager of a Texas Planned Parenthood clinic and “Planned Parenthood Employee of the Year,” who resigned her lucrative position when she saw a sonogram of an abortion in her own clinic? She suddenly realized that this was not a clump of tissue being cleansed away. This was a tiny little human being in the making, fighting a losing battle against a high-power suction machine. Her book (with Cindy Lambert), Unplanned, chronicles all this.

In this election, there has arisen a group that claims to be “evangelical” and “pro-life” that in reality supports pro-abortion politicians. Who are they fooling? What they claim is that the “pro-life” position goes beyond simply the issue of abortion to such issues as “climate change.” All they do is to attempt to dilute the phrase “pro-life” so that it loses its real meaning: opposition to abortion.

For example, they claim that being “pro-life” means being against racism, which they inconsistently argue somehow necessitates voting for pro-abortion candidates. Imagine that—fighting racism by supporting Black genocide. The fact is, abortion kills almost 30 percent of Black children in the womb—and more than half of them in New York City.

It is well documented that Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, was a racist.

On December 10, 1939, in a letter to her board member, Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, Sanger wrote, “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”

Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., told me in a television interview: “During her lifetime Dr. Margaret Sanger said ‘colored’ people are like weeds and they need to be exterminated.” No wonder that the vast majority of Planned Parenthood facilities—to this day—are in the minority neighborhoods.

Former Vice President Joe Biden used to be (supposedly) “moderately pro-choice.” But now he’s shifted to the position of accepting abortion up to the moment of birth. And he believes we the taxpayers should fund it. His running mate is fiercely pro-abortion. As attorney general of California, Kamala Harris prosecuted and persecuted David Daleiden, the pro-life whistle-blower who made “60 Minutes”-style undercover videos, documenting that abortionists were trafficking in baby body parts for profit.

In contrast, President Donald Trump has been described by Steven Ertelt, editor of Lifenews.com, as “the most pro-life president in history.”

Since a president chooses judges and the senate confirms or rejects them, abortion is definitely on the ballot in Election 2020. And there is stark contrast between where the parties stand on this life-and-death issue.

At D. James Kennedy Ministries, we provide a simple party platform comparison on a variety of key issues. Here’s the comparison on the issue of life:

Republicans: “We assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed.”
“Democrats believe that every woman should be able to access high-quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion.”
The Word of God: “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:13-14)

We hear endlessly about evils from Americans in times past—especially slavery. I firmly believe that future generations will look back at us and see the rampant practice of abortion, and they will judge us for the slaughter of millions of unborn babies—even more deplorable in light of the window to the womb we have through modern technology.

Christians need to vote our values, and the issue of life is the most important of these.

Thomas Jefferson said that he trembled when he considered that God is just and that His justice cannot slumber forever. No, indeed it won’t.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Was Made Into a Demigod Because of this One Thing

It’s not what a person says that matters; it’s what a person does. The Bible is very clear on this:

Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits (Matt. 7:15–20).

When the fruit of someone’s life is rotten, the best thing that can be done to modify that person’s legacy is to manufacture a different legacy. The following meme that I saw posted on Facebook is an attempt to do that for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG):

The above claims are just plain wrong. Women have had credit cards and their own credit history long before RBG served on the Supreme Court. In 1974 the Senate passed the Equal Credit Opportunity Act that made it illegal to discriminate against someone based on their gender, race, religion, or national origin.

What about leasing apartments? When I met my wife in 1977, she was leasing an apartment in her own name, and she had her own credit cards. This was common long before the 1970s. The same is true with owning property.

Title IX was established in 1972 to provide everyone with equal access to any program or activity that receives Federal financial assistance, including sports. This means that federally funded institutions, such as public schools, are legally required to provide girls and boys with equitable sports opportunities. RGB didn’t have anything to do with these new laws.

Unfortunately, this law has resulted in some negative consequences. Also, the push for transgender rights under the guise of "gender" may end up ruining women's sports.

RBG’s “accomplishments” were mostly about abortion. Nearly every article I’ve read praising her is due to her stance to keep abortion legal with no exceptions and laws normalizing homosexuality and transgender rights. Here’s just one example:

On the court, Ginsburg offered the clearest and most cogent defense of abortion rights. She showed that sex discrimination involved often-baseless generalizations — a conclusion that helped advance successful equality claims made by LGBTQ+ groups.

Ginsburg has become an icon for a reason. Her impact on constitutional jurisprudence is hard to overestimate.

Why is the Left in such a panic? Because of abortion:

President Trump has hinted that Judge Amy Coney Barrett, widely believed to be a skeptic of Roe, will be the next in line for the high court. With Barrett's nomination, abortion would no longer be a sleeper issue in the 2020 election. It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of the right to choose hinges on who replaces Ginsburg, and when.

Don’t be deceived by a person’s demeanor and small stature. It was some of her policies that were evil. “Ginsburg’s jurisprudence also left a lot to be desired for conservatives. During a joint interview, [the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin] Scalia once quipped about his dear friend, ‘What’s not to like–except her views on the law[?]’” (Heritage) Exactly!

Yes, she was a champion of women’s rights. But there were other women who were equally passionate about such rights and fought for them. What made her such a standout for the Left was her support of abortion. This is the ultimate equal right.

“It is essential to woman’s equality with man that she be the decision maker, that her choice be controlling,” Ginsburg told Senators during her four days of questioning by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Since men can’t get pregnant, in order to equal the playing field, women should be able to control their bodies and kill their unborn children. That’s RBG’s legacy, and it’s the Democrats who want to continue it.

If there’s one thing the death of RBG is showing us, it’s that the Supreme Court has too much power and authority. Five unelected judges should not be able to make law for 330 million people, and no one judge should be turned into a demigod for supporting a law that is a destroyer of human life on a massive scale.

Will a law prohibiting abortion stop women from getting abortions? No, in the same way that laws against murder and theft have not stopped people from murdering and stealing. It's the fact that our nation has passed laws giving women the right to kill their unborn babies that's the crime.
