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

Lionel Messi’s final jab at Cristiano in a million-dollar text message for Lyon’s Argentina player: “Don’t listen to Ronaldo”
French club Lyon stoked the flames of the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry in their announcement video for Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada.
With the January football transfer window currently open and clubs across Europe looking to add talent to their rosters for the run-in in the second half of the season, French team Olympique Lyonnais have made the exciting signing of Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada. Almada joins on an initial loan from Brazilian club Botafogo, but his announcement was made in style in the latest in a long line of iconic transfer videos.
The 23-year-old midfielder’s signing was announced through a video shared by Lyon in which he receives a text message from ‘Lionel’ along with a goat emoji, clearly meant to be the legendary Lionel Messi, Almada’s compatriot and teammate in the Argentine national team. The text sent to Almada in this video reads “Don’t listen to Cristiano, Ligue 1 is incredible.”
Lyon’s retribution for Ronaldo’s comments
The text provides a sneaky tongue-in-cheek remark from the seven-time French champions, who are referencing Cristiano Ronaldo’s past comment regarding Ligue 1 being a weaker competition than the Saudi Pro League, where he currently plies his trade for Al Nassr. Ronaldo had claimed there was a better standard of football in Saudi Arabia, with the French league considered the weakest of the ‘top five’ leagues in Europe.
Messi, meanwhile, spent two years playing in France, having spent a period in the capital with Paris Saint-Germain after leaving Barcelona. Messi was the latest star at PSG, playing alongside Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe, before the trio was broken up as they left France with Messi heading to Inter Miami, Neymar to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, and Mbappe finally getting his marquee move to Real Madrid.
Almada was part of the Argentina squad that lifted the World Cup trophy in Qatar in 2022, helping Messi finally get his hands on the coveted trophy and firmly setting his status as the greatest of all time in stone. Almada has represented Argentina six times, scoring twice, and finally earned a move to Europe after playing for Atlanta United in the MLS and a brief spell in the Brazilian Serie A at Botafogo. Almada will be joining fellow Argentine Nicolas Tagliafico, who also made a cameo appearance in the announcement video.
Lyon currently sit in sixth place in the Ligue 1 table with half the season concluded, but will have intentions of fighting for spots in next year’s UEFA Champions League with a strong end to the season, in which Almada could play an important role.

The conflict was triggered by Hamas’s brazen terror attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023 that killed almost 1,200 people
India on Thursday welcomed the ceasefire deal reached between Israel and Hamas and reiterated its call for a return to a path of dialogue and diplomacy.
Negotiators from Israel and Hamas have agreed on a 42-day truce and hostage release, and the deal will come into effect on January 19, US President Joe Biden and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said on Wednesday. The truce comes after more than 460 days of war that has devastated Gaza.
“We welcome the announcement of the agreement for the release of hostages and a ceasefire in Gaza,” the external affairs ministry said in a brief statement.
“We hope this will lead to a safe and sustained supply of humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza. We have consistently called for release of all hostages, ceasefire, and return to a path of dialogue and diplomacy,” the statement said.
The conflict was triggered by Hamas’s brazen terror attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023 that killed almost 1,200 people. More than 46,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory attacks and bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Qatar’s prime minister told reporters that Israel and Hamas were still to conclude some logistical matters related to the ceasefire, while the office of the Israeli prime minister said in a statement that a number of details of the agreement remained unresolved. The deal also needs to be formally ratified by the Israeli cabinet and the government.
The initial phase of the ceasefire, set to last six weeks, will see a limited prisoner exchange, partial withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and a surge of aid into the region. Thirty-three Israeli nationals taken hostage during the October 7 attacks will be released in exchange for a large number of Palestinian prisoners, according to reports.
Around 100 Israeli hostages are thought to be still in Gaza, though Israeli authorities believe some if them are dead.
India initially expressed solidarity with Israel after the attacks by Hamas, in line with its “zero tolerance” policy on terrorism, but it adopted a more nuanced position subsequently because of concerns expressed by Arab partners.
India has strong strategic ties with Israel while Arab states are key sources of energy and have developed stronger defence and security ties with India in the past decade. India also had significant concerns about the potential expansion of the conflict because West Asia is home to nine million Indians, with almost six million of them concentrated in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
As the war dragged on, India repeatedly urged Israel to be mindful of humanitarian concerns in its response. The Indian side also called for the unimpeded provision of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza and a return to the path of dialogue and diplomacy aimed at finding a two-state solution.

Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20th. Preparations for the momentous day are already underway, with a particular focus on security, especially following two assassination attempts on the incoming president during his political campaign.
Trump’s inauguration ceremony will be reportedly secured by a private security company, with significant costs borne by the government to ensure the safety of the incoming president.
Trump inauguration event hires private security firm
TMZ has obtained federal procurement documents revealing that the Secret Service has hired Arcus Group LLC, a private security company, to help with the upcoming inauguration. The event which will kick off with a service at St. John’s Church, a historic Washington DC church, followed by tea at the White House is set to welcome several high-profile figures including former US Presidents and First Ladies.
This company as per the data has secured an $8.1 million contract for the task, primarily focused on securing the event’s perimeter.
Who is Arcus Group?
Arcus Group specialises in providing temporary security perimeters for high-profile events, which is why they’ve been selected for Trump’s inauguration. Their services include setting up security barriers, anti-scale fencing, barricades, and even mobile command posts.

Bush, Bill and Barack Obama alongside Joe and Jill Biden, former First Lady Hillary Clinton are expected to attend Trump’s inauguration.
