Benham Brother arrested for sidewalk counseling at abortion center during COVID-19

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, April 6, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – David Benham, one of the Benham Brothers, was arrested Saturday while sidewalk counseling outside an abortion center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Several members of Love Life, a pro-life group active in North Carolina, were also arrested, including three pastors.

Senator Ted Cruz, R-TX, called Benham’s arrest “unconstitutional.”

The Benham Brothers, David and Jason, gained significant media attention in 2014. At the time, HGTV canceled a proposed reality TV show that was going to feature the pro-life and pro-family evangelicals. Left-wing activists had complained about the brothers’ biblical views on marriage. Each episode would have shown the brothers helping down-on-their-luck families purchase a dream home they thought they could never afford.

1/x Charlotte newspaper editorial demonstrates dishonesty of today’s media. They say it’s just neutral “public health” concerns that allow Dems to arrest ⁦@BenhamBrothers
⁩ for peacefully speaking for life. The newspaper says that’s “not essential”...

The Charlotte Observer article,  if anyone is interested:  https://www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/editorials/article241791386.html

So, this was news sort of over the weekend. I think Cruz tweeted out about it a few days ago.

So, a relatively important recent story on the pro-life front.

I accidentally stumbled on this, and I'm glad I did. Those brothers are solid Christians. HGTV showed their (lack of) character when they let them go, and now North Carolina has chosen to join them.

P.S. In case you missed this, here's another example of HGTV's agenda: https://www.afa.net/activism/action-alerts/2020/hgtv-celebrates-throuple-on-house-hunters/. Tolerance for "throuples"; none for practicing Christians.

We can't have that now, can we?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Not enough time to do that and promote "throuples," too. (Refer to my edit above.)
