A Democrat from Texas, James Talarico, who is running for the US Senate, completely maligns the annunciation of Jesus to claim the Bible supports abortion.
Here’s what he said:
Talarico, who Wikipedia describes as a Presbyterian seminarian, claims that because the Angel asked the Blessed Virgin about bearing God in her womb, that it supports the idea of being pro-choice because procreation can’t be forced on someone.
This is ludicrous. Talarico even said that this question from the Angel came BEFORE the incarnation of Jesus, which means this has absolutely nothing to do with his twisted ideas of being pro-choice. Mary wasn’t being asked to accept Jesus in her womb and to keep from aborting him at the local Roman Planned Parenthood center. She was being asked to bear him in the first place!
Some will say it wasn’t a ‘question’. I won’t quibble over this, because it is true that Mary could have refused.
But where Talarico’s argument fails miserably is that he claims the annunciation account supports the idea that procreation can’t be forced on someone. But it never is. Two people are free to have sex, or NOT have sex – that is their choice. While I do have strong beliefs about procreation needing to occur after marriage, as God designed it, our main fight is to preserve life AFTER it is created. And what Talarico believes is that a woman can kill her child AFTER it is created in her womb, which is absolutely unGodly and evil.
Talarico is evil and, unless he changes his ways, he’ll find out the hard way how unGodly his view of procreation really is.
