Voting For Trump Is The Clear Moral Choice For Pro-Lifers
The idea of 'punishing' Trump and Vance for their stances either by abstaining or by voting third party is not only morally incorrect but politically suicidal.The idea of 'punishing' Trump and Vance for their stances either by abstaining or by voting third party is not only morally incorrect but politically suicidal.Allie Beth Stuckey slams Ted Cruz for calling IVF treatment a 'right’
Republicans have announced a new bill that declares in vitro fertilization a right, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is leading the charge alongside Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.).
“We came together, and said let’s draft a simple, straightforward, federal bill that creates a federal right that you as a parent have a right to have access to IVF,” Cruz said.
“If you want to have a child and you need medical assistance to do so, that should be your right,” he concluded.
"A right to IVF," Allie Beth Stuckey mimics in clear disagreement.
Associate professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Andrew T. Walker is also extremely disappointed.
“I was really discouraged with this legislation coming out from two senators,” Walker tells Stuckey. “This is obviously coming in the aftermath of the Alabama Supreme Court decision from earlier in the year, but I think tragically, they’re going further out in support of a practice that, tragically, most Americans are just woefully misinformed about when it comes to what IVF is.”
“It’s an affront to human dignity, in the service of so-called support for human dignity,” he adds.
Stuckey is in firm agreement.
“Yes, we like to say that when technology takes us from what is natural to what is possible, Christians have the responsibility to ask, ‘But is this moral?’ And more important, ‘Is this biblical?’” Stuckey says.
“Catholic teaching takes issue with removing or with separating reproduction from sex, which I think is good, and I think is fair. Because when you make that separation, all kinds of ethical issues flow from that,” she adds.
Not only is the process unnatural, but it isn’t consistent with the beliefs of those who claim to be pro-life.
“If life starts at conception, then how we treat embryos matters. IVF very often includes a eugenics process of selecting the best embryos and discarding the others,” Stuckey explains, adding, “If life begins at conception, then how can we say that we have a right to IVF when inherent in IVF is the mistreatment of these little human beings made in God’s image?”

Levin: Unraveling America's legal beginnings
Despite what the reprobates and historical illiterates on the left will have you think, our founding fathers drew on the philosophy that our inalienable rights derive from natural law — God.
But it’s not always out of malice.
Rather, it’s mostly because “they’re not very bright,” Mark Levin says, noting that the media is one of the worst offenders.
“The media in this country, they abuse their authority. They lie and they try and preach the radical left agenda,” Levin says.
And a reporter on MSNBC is proving Levin right.
“There’s many different groups orbiting Trump, but the thing that reunites them as Christian nationalists, not Christians by the way, because Christian nationalist is very different, is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority, they don’t come from Congress, they don’t come from the Supreme Court, they come from God,” the Politico reporter said.
“Obviously, she doesn’t know a damn thing about American history,” Levin says.
At the time that the country was founded, John Locke was the most important philosopher. He spoke at length about free will, the individual, unalienable rights, natural rights, and natural law — just like the great Aristotle.
“He talked about natural law, which is a universal law,” Levin explains. “In other words, murder is wrong, whether a man passes a law or not.”
“Morality does not come from man; morality comes from a higher authority,” he adds.
This is what our country was founded on because our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.
“That’s the modern-day Democrat Party, that man gives us rights and privileges and we need the right man,” Levin says, adding that “it’s a very dangerous ideology, and it’s preposterous.”

Levin: THIS is how Democrats are getting around the Constitution
The best way to try to prevent tyranny is to divide the power.
That’s why judicial, legislative, and executive each have their own branches within the United States government.
And as Mark Levin says, “That’s why the delineation of the authority as best as they could under each one of those branches is spelled out in the most fabulous governing document in the history of man: the United States Constitution.”
“Everything I just told you was rejected by the Democrat Party,” Levin says.
“If you’re trying to put together an autocratic centralized regime, you’ve got to get around the Constitution. And today, you’ve got to get around the Constitution if you want to implement the Marxist agenda,” he adds.
According to Levin, Joe Biden himself repeats Marxist phrases.
“Joe Biden is a very stupid and sick man, but he knows how to repeat phrases. When he says, ‘Bottom up and middle out,’ what he’s trying to say is ‘I want you to follow bottom up and middle out, but we’re not really about bottom up and middle out,’” Levin explains.
Marx did not use the same phrasing, but he did talk about the same thing.
“Marx talked about bottom up and middle out without using those phrases. It was called the proletariat that was going to overthrow the management and executive class, as he would call it,” Levin adds.
When you look at the Democrat Party through the same lens as dictators and philosophers past, it all starts to make sense.
“They’re repulsive, they’re unconscionable,” Levin says. “The Democrat Party projects onto the Republican Party everything it’s done to this country. From racism to anti-Semitism to economic dislocation and on and on and on.”
Levin believes the only thing standing in the way of their all-out takeover is the Constitution.
“The Democrat Party hates the country. It’s trying to destroy our constitutional system,” he says. “It’s all about power.”
