Trump Campaign Reaches Out to Pastors After Abortion Ruling

Source: Bloomberg

The Donald Trump presidential campaign reached out directly to Christian leaders after the Supreme Court's overturning of Texas abortion laws on Monday, while deciding against releasing official statements or social media postings.

Earlier Monday, the campaign engaged its recently appointed Executive Evangelical Advisory Board about the ruling, reaffirming Trump's commitment to appoint pro-life justices to the nation's highest court, according to people familiar with the conversations.

Afterward, the board released a statement obtained by Bloomberg Politics echoing the campaign's message and referring to a meeting of more than 1,000 religious leaders in Manhattan last week.

“In an unprecedented meeting last week with American Christian leaders, Donald J. Trump promised to only appoint pro-life justices,” the board's statement said. “We commend him and pray that the tragedy of today's ruling will not be repeated in subsequent administrations.”

They contribute to the betterment of society, feed the homeless, give away free services, and humbly serve mankind. And some are weasel, money-grubbing ideological cesspools.

Atheists, agnostics, snake-handlers, or anybody are not morally superior because of their personal belief system. Thinking oneself morally superior AND being power hungry is a recipe for disaster, whether the beliefs are religious, military, or commercial.

As for Trump, he is obviously an expert. Well, at least on the Bible book of Two Corinthians.

Not just from pregnancies he was responsible for, but for family members, associates, etc.

Think about the circles he runs in. You know it's happened.

Don't fall for it, pro-lifers.
