Donald Trump advocates against abortion A Christian advocacy group will defend “innocent life.”

Published

on

Donald Trump vaguely revisited a topic that Democrats want to center around this year’s presidential contest when he pushed a Christian organization that is adamantly opposed to abortion on Monday.

In a recorded speech, the former president and likely Republican nominee commended the attendees of The Danbury Institute’s gathering, which is being held in Indianapolis in tandem with the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual convention. The recently established institute is a coalition of Christian organizations, churches, and other groups that want to outlaw abortion completely.

On Monday, a group of speakers in person strengthened their opposition to abortion, while a prominent Southern Baptist leader advocated for a staunch stance against in vitro fertilization. IVF is a “commodification of the embryo” that violates human dignity, according to Albert Mohler, president of the main institution affiliated with the SBC. In Alabama, for example, where a state Supreme Court decision declared that frozen embryos are children protected IVF physicians from prosecution and civil lawsuits, he took issue with clergy and politicians who supported the practice.

Mohler stated, “We’re going to discover just how pro-life the pro-life movement is.”

Despite having chosen three of the justices who overruled Roe v. Wade, Trump has often claimed responsibility for the overturning of a federally guaranteed right to an abortion. However, he has refrained from endorsing a nationwide abortion ban, stating that he prefers to leave the decision to the states. Trump disagrees with Mohler and is in favor of IVF access.

Trump commended the crowd for their “tremendous devotion to God and Country” in his taped remarks, adding that everyone must work together to protect their values, which include free speech, religious liberty, the right to life, and America’s history and customs.

“Democrat voting is simply not possible. They oppose religion. Specifically, they oppose your faith,” Trump declared. “You have to go out and vote; you cannot vote for Democrats.”

Republicans in general and Southern Baptists in particular disagree on abortion policy; some favor gradual approaches while others demand outright prohibitions. The majority of Americans, according to polls conducted in recent years, are in favor of some kind of access to abortion. Since Roe v. Wade was reversed, abortion rights organizations have won multiple statewide elections, even ones in states with strong conservative majorities like Kansas and Ohio.

The Southern Baptist Convention, like the Republican Party, has been progressively moving to the right since the 1980s. The organization’s members led the larger religious movement that backed Republican presidents all the way from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump. One of the sponsors of the event, the Conservative Baptist Network, seeks to advance rightward the conservative denomination.

Despite their criticism of President Bill Clinton’s extramarital affairs during the 1990s, evangelicals, including Southern Baptists, have backed Trump. This has persisted in the face of accusations of sexual misconduct, several divorces, and most recently, his conviction on 34 counts of conspiring to rig the 2016 election by paying hush money to a porn star who claimed to have had sex with him. Trump spoke on the same day he was appearing virtually for a required pre-sentencing interview with New York probation officers.

For many Southern Baptists, he represents the only way out of a Democratic agenda they detest.

The Danbury Institute’s H. Sharayah Colter stated in a statement that Trump has “demonstrated a willingness to protect the value of life even when politically unpopular” and that the presidential contest was a “binary choice.”

Not to be outdone, Mohler, the dean of Louisville, Kentucky’s Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a former vocal opponent of Clinton, attacked Democrats in a letter following Trump’s conviction for their support of transgender rights.

Whatever you think of Donald Trump’s sex scandals, Mohler wrote, “he doesn’t confuse male and female.” While he criticized Trump’s trial and conviction on Monday, other speakers touched on themes of Christian nationalism—a merging of Christian and American identity.

In an interview, Trump stated that he would not sign a federal law outlawing abortion and that “the people are deciding and in many ways, it’s a beautiful thing to watch” in reference to how certain states are protecting abortion rights while others are restricting them.

Unlike many other Republicans who ultimately dropped out of the race for president, Trump had retreated from supporting any kind of national abortion restriction for more than a year before he made his announcement this spring. Trump has stated time and time again that the topic can be politically complex and that he would “negotiate” a law that would include exceptions for rape, incest, and mother protection.

Democrats and the campaign of President Joe Biden have attempted to link Trump to the most conservative state-level abortion prohibitions in addition to a recent verdict by the Alabama Supreme Court that would have limited access to widely-popular reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization.

A spokesman for Joe Biden’s campaign, Sarafina Chitika, stated that “four more years of Donald Trump means empowering organizations like The Danbury Institute who want to ban abortion nationally and punish women who have abortions.” “Trump boasts that he overturned Roe, believes that the severe state prohibitions that are already in place are “working really wonderfully,” and says he will sign a federal ban on abortion if given the opportunity. This November, the stakes are as follows.

A representative for the Trump campaign, Karoline Leavitt, responded to questions over the candidate’s attendance before The Danbury Institute by saying that Trump “has been very clear: he supports the rights of states to determine the laws on this issue and supports the three exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother.”

As demonstrated by his recent speech at the Libertarian Convention, his meetings with the unions, and his efforts to campaign in various areas across the nation, Leavitt added, “President Trump is committed to addressing groups with diverse opinions on all of the issues.”

Michigan splash pad attack: A couple was shot seven times in total while defending their two small daughters.

Published

on

During the Michigan splash pad incident, a Rochester couple who were defending their young girls were shot seven times in all. Michael William Nash, 42, shot and wounded nine people at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills before taking his own life.

After being shot seven times in all, Micayla and Eric Coughlin sustained injuries while attempting to shield their two-year-old and seven-month-old girls. The attack happened close to their house on Saturday, June 15, at approximately five o’clock in the evening.

According to a GoFundMe page created for the couple, they were attacked brutally as they brought their kids to the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad to “enjoy a day with beautiful weather.” After grabbing a child to shield themselves, they were shot and hurt.

The page says, “They walked to the splash pad shortly after getting ice cream, and they weren’t even there for a minute when Micayla and Eric heard gunfire.” “They each grabbed a child to protect them, trying to save their own children.”

Right now, the woman and husband are receiving treatment in a hospital. Noel Wakula, a friend of Micayla’s, organised the campaign, which has asked for donations to support the family with their medical expenses.

The page says, “Their children were protected and able to go home that evening because of their heroic actions.” “After this unimaginable tragedy, Micayla and Eric have a long and unknown recovery ahead of them.”

Three other members of the same family—a 39-year-old lady, an eight-year-old child, and a four-year-old son—were also killed in the catastrophe. A 78-year-old guy who was shot in the abdomen was the oldest casualty.

It is said that Nash had mental health problems. Although his motivation is being looked into, the Detroit Free Press claims he was unrelated to the victims.

Netizens express embarrassment at confused Joe Biden being escorted off stage by Barack Obama at an event in Los Angeles.

Published

on

In a widely shared video, Joe Biden appeared to freeze up on stage at a Los Angeles fundraiser, and former president Barack Obama was seen helping him off. The altercation happened following Biden and Obama’s 45-minute appearance at the Peacock Theatre for a late-night chat with Jimmy Kimmel.

The men can be seen in the footage standing for applause at the star-studded event. Biden seemed to fix his gaze on the audience for ten seconds or more before Obama walked him off the stage and grabbed his wrist. The New York Post reports that the Biden campaign was able to raise almost $30 million at the event. At the occasion were famous people including Barbra Streisand, Julia Roberts, and George Clooney.

“There is no way that this is the head of the free world.”
“No offence… But I’ll never understand why old folks, and I mean rich old men and women just can’t leave politics alone and simply go on about their lives and enjoy EVERY bit of it until the last day,” wrote one of the many comments on the above video that British broadcaster Piers Morgan shared on social media. Too wealthy to be making themselves look bad on national television like this. One person remarked, “Clearly President Obama seems to have stepped in and taken command,” while another said, “They’re simply going to carry on pretending that it’s not happening and continue promoting Biden as “Sharp, dynamic, and full of vigour.”

“Why does Obama appear to be dragging out Biden as some elderly statesman to smile and wave at the crowd? One user said, “This cannot possibly be the leader of the free world,” and another commented, “It’s hard not to feel sorry for Biden.” The elderly boy has to be taken care of and removed from the spotlight by someone. A user said, “It’s so embarrassing that they have allowed this to continue.”

Some people, meanwhile, expressed sympathy for Biden’s poor performance. Would you send him shopping with a list to the nearby stores and expect him to return home if he were your father? It is inhumane. One commenter said, “They are embarrassing him by letting this continue. “I’m sure mainstream media will cry about “camera angles” and “framing” again,” another person commented. Elder abuse is something that must be acknowledged.

In fact, one user went so far as to say he thought the incident was being exaggerated and that Biden had not actually frozen up. “I was present there. In the front row, I witnessed three young people yelling at President Biden. @President Biden did not clam up when trying to listen. Seemingly prepared to reply, Now incorrect news is spreading. Sharing my perspective,” the user wrote.

Saudi Arabia: As the temperature approaches 48 degrees, 14 Jordanian Hajj pilgrims have died.

Because of the intense heat and prolonged heatwave that pervaded Saudi Arabia during the Hajj, at least 14 Jordanian pilgrims have perished and 17 more are missing. During the Hajj pilgrimage, fourteen Jordanian pilgrims perished and seventeen more went missing, according to the foreign ministry of Jordan. According to the statement, its citizens died “after suffering a stroke due to the extreme heat wave.”

The Jordanian foreign ministry stated in a statement that it was working with the Saudi authorities to arrange for the burial or transfer of the remains of the deceased in accordance with the family’s requests.

Five Iranian pilgrims’ deaths were also confirmed by the Iranian Red Crescent, however the cause of their deaths was not disclosed, according to news agency AFP. Regarding the deaths, Saudi authorities haven’t yet made an official comment.

In the holy town, the temperature has surpassed 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and is expected to hit 47 degrees on Monday.

As part of their efforts to reduce heat, the Saudi authorities have established numerous climate-controlled rooms. Along with giving out water, they counsel pilgrims on sun protection techniques. Additionally, the Saudi health ministry sent a warning advising pilgrims to avoid the warmest parts of the day outside and to stay hydrated.

One of the world’s biggest mass gatherings is the Hajj. Saudi officials claim that around 1.8 million pilgrims are participating this year. Over the last 30 years, hundreds of deaths have occurred at the festival due to stampedes, tent fires, heat, and other causes.

At least 240 persons, many of whom were from Indonesia, lost their lives during the Hajj pilgrimage in 2018. The death toll was reported by several nations, although the causes of death were not given. Heat stroke affected more than 2,000 pilgrims on the journey.

Hajj for this year would conclude on Wednesday.
