Stacey Abrams makes flagrantly false claim and invokes her purported Christian faith (and God!) in defense of abortion [videos]

Stacey Abrams is one of those Democrats who’s willing to go the mat to protect abortion. And that’s her prerogative, of course. She can say and do what she wants.

But it’s our prerogative to draw attention to what she says and does and point out why it’s wrong and insane. And that’s why we’re here today.

Because this is the sort of garbage she’s putting out there:

“It is lethal to be pregnant in Georgia if you are a black woman.” Whoa, if true!

It’s not true, of course.

Wut? https://t.co/oy6FgIiNVU

When Stacey Abrams says things like that, she is very deliberately sowing seeds of fear. Her hope is that if she terrifies enough people, they’ll vote for her. And make no mistake: her motivations here are absolutely selfish. She’ll stop at nothing to win in November.

But wait! There’s still more from Stacey Abrams, and it, too, is genuinely offensive:

That’s the thing: they do listen to it. They listen to it and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. If they can’t use religion to defend their awful position, they’ll just rewrite the religion into something that aligns with their worldview. In other words, they’ll do exactly what they accuse conservative Christians of doing.
