Rev. Al Sharpton Claims Bible and Religion Support Offers ‘Choice’ in Abortion

Joshua Klein 9 Aug 2022

The Bible is about “choice” when it comes to abortion, according to left-wing civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton, who argued that laws are not to be made to “compel” people against actions, while calling on Democrats to present the issue of abortion to the black community as a matter of valuing people’s choice to commit abortion, as opposed to one of direct support for the procedure.

Appearing on MSNBC’s Chris Jansing Reports on Thursday to discuss how abortion matters are received in minority communities, lifelong preacher and Democrat Al Sharpton used religion and the Bible to defend the pro-choice position.

Asked how Democrats should feel about the “deeply held religious beliefs” playing into the black community’s views on abortion — “especially with older black voters,” Sharpton suggested that abortion be presented as a “choice” issue instead of one condoning the killing of a fetus, also known as feticide.

“I think that they must message it in a way that it is about choice,” he said. “It’s not about saying ‘I’m voting that I support abortion or not.’ It’s about ‘I support people having the right to choose.’”

Sharpton then attempted to paint the issue of abortion as one of mere safety.

NO, It most certainly does not.

Imagine using the concept of free will as a promotion of sin. You have the right to sin, according to this yahoo... Which would extend to virtually anything denounced in the Bible.

When in fact, the opposite is true. The entire Bible teaches to walk uprightly - To walk in Torah.
It does not sanction sin. Anywhere.

What it does offer is forgiveness in Yeshua, through repentance - Repentance, wherein you go and sin no more - And rejoin yourself in Messiah to walk in Torah.

Neither does that forgiveness celebrate the choices that lead to sin.

Sharpton is speaking lies.

I could be wrong, but I thought he - like many Dems - used to oppose abortion.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?  Certainly not!
