@BskiMike22802 We must be found faithful even now to love, evangelize & disciple family, neighbor & enemy “And thus shall ye eat [the Passover]; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.” Exodus 12:11

@LifeNewsHQ @Patrickwebb Let’s do better. Ban killing unborn babies. Unborn (ALL) persons preserved RTL/EqualProtect (5/14A)

@Patrickwebb Now ban abortion pills that kill babies.

BREAKING: Birth control pills are now listed as a Group 1 cancer-causing agent, per WHO.

@sbaprolife @marjoriesba As long as orgs like SBA seek to *regulate* unborn child murder, it will NOT be abolished. As long as #prolife is sending ANY signal that approves of unconstitutional exceptions, you will be unconstitutionally defeated Unborn (ALL) persons preserved RTL/EqualProtect (5/14 Amend)

@CCVPolicy The Founding Sons also expected Equal Protection of Law (14A) for all human beings, and no exceptions to that, especially by Christians who have 1A rights and duties to the least of these Christ’s “adelphos” (mankind) Unborn (ALL) persons preserved RTL/EqualProtect (5/14 Amend)

The Constitution wasn’t written just so Americans could vote. It was written so Americans would participate. Our Founding Fathers expected an engaged, informed citizenry, not spectators. In the latest episode of The Narrative, hosts Aaron Baer, David Mahan, and Mike Andrews sit down with Mark Meckler to talk about why civic participation still matters today. Watch the full conversation at ccv.org/news/the-const…

@DefiyantlyFree “understanding what the operation is providing to young men that evangelicalism currently is not” Neither yet acts to abolish child sacrifice after God’s own heart pre-creation. We lead men to seek it Providential, Gospel centered, Biblical, Body driven, Immediate w/o compromise

@conservmillen @RepMichaelCloud Now let’s admit “the least of these Christ’s brethren” refers to the least of mankind, not just believers, but also unborn children, and that Gov has a God-given duty to abolish unborn child murder and equally protect all Unborn(ALL)persons preserved RTL/EqualProtect(5/14 Amend)

Yes! @RepMichaelCloud correcting the erroneous interpretation of Matthew 25– a passage used by progressives to justify forced wealth redistribution.

@Lol19559014 @greg_price11 An election killer is any of 99 hypocritical ways to regulate unborn child murder while calling oneself #prolife. Nobody cares for that. Nobody. Equal protection of law demands abolition, not spineless games for 53yrs Unborn(ALL)persons preserved RTL/EqualProtection(5/14 Amend)

In general, I still wish Republicans who are trying to prevent Democrats like Talarico from winning would stop highlighting the abortion issue, because the more they do, the more we lose (sorry- I know people don't like to hear that, but it's been proven in election after election that when Republicans focus on abortion, it's an election-killer) , but in this case, it is worthwhile to point out Talarico's overt lie about what the Bible actually states.

🚨 The Democrat nominee for Senate in Texas says that the story of Mary's Annunciation justifies abortion: "The Angel comes down and asks Mary if this is something she wants to do... To me that is an affirmation that creation has to be done with consent."

@CCVPolicy Should we regulate murderers to dignify victims while we’re not even abolishing unborn child murder?? How about we put our collective necks on the line and abolish it for each and every one of the literal least of these? Unborn(ALL)persons preserved RTL/EqualProtect(5/14 Amend)

“The court’s decision to strike down Ohio’s fetal remains law removes a basic standard of human dignity from state policy. With this ruling, the remains of a child aborted at 10, 15, or even 20 weeks may now be treated under Ohio’s ‘infectious waste’ regulations—no differently than other medical waste,” @PeterRange12.

@secularprolife Even from secular frameworks, how is equal protection of law guaranteed to anyone if even one of the most vulnerable is ignored? “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law [of God], do by nature the things contained in the law, these.. are a law unto themselves:” Romans 2:14

When abolitionists propose bills that would allow criminal penalties for women who abort, does that overall increase or decrease public support for abortion?

Most people who oppose abortion don't want women to face jail time. In 2022, Pew Research found only 14% of Americans said a woman should face jail time for an illegal abortion. (ow.ly/fWCR50Ym7cU) It’s not just pro-choice people against jailing women. In 2023, another study found that, of people who said abortion should be illegal all the time, 59% didn’t think women should face incarceration; of those who said abortion should be illegal most of the time, it was 71%. (ow.ly/zlfH50Ym7cZ)

@jayplemons @Rach4Patriarchy What is the historical relationship between all of this and a fiat monetary policy?

Feminism doubled the workforce and men's wages never recovered. Now every family is stuck in a two-income trap. @Rach4Patriarchy "Mostly women do a lot of the same things they used to do in the home. They're nurses, they're early childhood educators, they're retail workers, they're cooks, they're housekeepers. So now, instead of staying home with your kids and doing all these things for your family and for your community, you're doing them for a corporation. And you're paying income tax. You're paying all the other taxes associated with having to work outside the home: gas tax because you're driving back and forth to work, payroll taxes, all that kind of stuff. And you are away from your kids all day. Where do they go? They go to public schools, where the public school system then can dictate to them what the values should be, what the worldview should be, instead of the parents."

@KristanHawkins Even when innocent blood can’t be avenged (cold cases) God holds a nation guilty of it (Deut21:1-9) if they don’t do right in His sight. It’s unloving to all of us to favor murder in the name of ministry and risk all to His wrath. The Good Samaritan knew Deut and loved all Israel

I was actually shocked that so many Christians seemed almost gleeful here on X yesterday at prescribing the death penalty yesterday. Even if you support capital punishment, it shouldn’t be something we’re joyful about. So, let me try to break it down why I believe the death penalty is wrong: 1) Justice Does Not Require Execution Governments must punish evil but punishment doesn't have to mean death. Life imprisonment can protect society & still respect human dignity. 2) Government Authority ≠ Moral Obligation Romans 13 gives governments authority, not a command or obligation, to execute. Governments can punish criminals through imprisonment instead of execution. 3) Imago Dei Applies to Everyone The image of God applies to victims and to heinous evil humans. If human life has supreme value, that includes even those who have done terrible evil. 4) Jesus Reframed Justice Around Mercy The hardest commandment for me is this: Christ calls us to love even our enemies. The woman caught in adultery deserved death under the law, but Jesus spared her and called her to conversion. As Christians, we believe no one is beyond redemption. Execution permanently, and for all eternity, ends the possibility of repentance. It's hard to claim we love our enemies while insisting they must die. 5) Modern Society Does Not Need Executions In biblical times, societies had no prisons. Dangerous criminals could not be securely contained. Execution was often the only way to protect innocents in society. When killing is no longer necessary to protect society, the pro-life choice is not to kill. 6) The Church Jesus Founded Opposes It The Catechism teaches that capital punishment should almost never be used. Catechism (2267): "The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person." St. John Paul II wrote in Evangelium Vitae that cases requiring execution are "very rare, if not practically nonexistent." 7) Pro-Life Does Not Mean Pro-Crime Opposing the death penalty does not mean being soft on crime. Murder deserves serious punishment. Violent criminals must be removed from society. Being pro-life doesn't mean criminals go free — it means we punish without becoming killers ourselves. 8) War vs. Execution War and capital punishment are morally different. War should be avoided and must meet Just War standards. Killing in war is done to protect innocent people and defend a nation. Execution kills someone who has been locked in a prison cell for decades. 9) Not a pro-life argument but something to consider: Economic Reality Capital punishment costs more than life imprisonment. If life imprisonment protects society, taxpayers shouldn't have to pay extra to execute someone. 10) The Human Cost Supporting the death penalty means requiring someone else to do the killing. Someone must pull the lever, push the syringe, or press the button. That burden falls on prison workers and medical personnel. That responsibility leaves a permanent mark on their conscience. If I support the death penalty, I'm asking someone else to do the killing for me. Bottomline: A consistent pro-life worldview says if killing isn't necessary, we shouldn't do it.

@BenZeisloft I think splicing in smiling babies between those frames would be a nice touch “Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.” Deuteronomy 27:19 KJV bible.com/bible/1/deu.27…

Pro-Life groups: “We need to be winsome and nuanced! If we say abortion is murder, people might not think we’re very nice!” Abolitionists:

@ojosmiel333 @BenZeisloft @histories_arch Thank you for contributing that. We still need a proper visual, however, akin to the scale and solemnity of the Arlington field of white crosses. And we must abolish it, of course. I am very interested in ideas

@Stephen_Faris @BenZeisloft @histories_arch Another way to look at it is by estimated percentage of population. According to those general estimates, the Carthaginians sacrificed approx. 4% of their pop. On average. The USA has killed approx. 13% of their own population through abortion. Yeeccchhh! Lord, have mercy!

Archaeological evidence reveals that ancient Carthage practiced child sacrifice on a scale previously dismissed as Roman propaganda. The Tophet of Carthage—a sacred burial ground dating from 800-146 BC contains thousands of urns filled with charred infant and child remains. Modern excavations and bone analysis confirm these weren't stillbirths or natural deaths, but deliberate ritual killings performed during crisis periods and as offerings to the gods Baal Hammon and Tanit. The practice, called *molk* in Punic inscriptions, targeted children from elite Carthaginian families. Parents offered their firstborn sons during military defeats, famines, or plagues, believing the sacrifice would restore divine favor. Inscriptions on commemorative stones describe these offerings explicitly. Roman and Greek historians—including Diodorus Siculus and Plutarch—documented the practice in horrifying detail, describing bronze statues with outstretched arms beneath which fires consumed living children while drums drowned their screams. Recent isotope analysis of bones proves most victims came from wealthy families, contradicting theories that the poor substituted slave children. DNA evidence shows many were biological offspring of those who commissioned the burial markers. The practice peaked during Carthage's greatest crises: the invasion of Agathocles in 310 BCE reportedly triggered a mass sacrifice of 500 children from noble families, as Carthaginians believed their declining fortunes resulted from offering purchased children rather than their own. The Romans used these sacrifices as moral justification for Carthage's destruction. While Rome itself practiced infanticide through exposure, they portrayed Carthaginian ritual killing as barbaric proof of cultural inferiority. This propaganda proved effective—Carthaginian child sacrifice became the archetypal example of ancient depravity, used for two millennia to characterize enemies as fundamentally evil. Archaeological science has vindicated ancient testimony that scholars once rejected as wartime propaganda. The Tophet's 20,000 urns stand as physical evidence of a society that systematically killed its children during times of stress. What once seemed too monstrous to be real proved true, demonstrating that even modern skepticism can underestimate historical brutality when confronted with practices that violate fundamental human instincts. Carthaginian child sacrifice profoundly shaped Western civilization's moral framework and propaganda strategies for millennia. The practice became Christianity's ultimate evidence of pagan evil, reinforcing monotheistic claims of moral superiority and justifying religious conquest. It established a template for wartime propaganda—attributing child murder to enemies—that persists today in conflict rhetoric. The Roman destruction of Carthage, morally justified by these sacrifices, normalized cultural genocide as righteous action against "barbaric" practices. Modern archaeology's confirmation of ancient accounts forces uncomfortable recognition that skepticism can become denial, and that societies under extreme stress may embrace unthinkable practices. The debate over Carthaginian sacrifice continues to influence how historians approach ancient testimony, creating lasting tension between respecting source materials and avoiding propaganda repetition. Most significantly, it demonstrates how genuine atrocities become weaponized narratives, complicating our ability to distinguish historical truth from politically motivated exaggeration—a problem that extends far beyond ancient history. #archaeohistories

@4NonyaBusiness @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins Finally, Dad’s POV is to beget, to fully receive his child into his direct care. Our natural preoccupation with birth is a milestone in the Mom/child & Dad/child relationship, but uniquely Dad God’s POV of abuse of the fatherless, bereaved & unborn alike blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h3490/…

@Stephen_Faris @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins Inciting versus where women simply know they’re pregnant before they deliver is not speaking against abortion🙄. Of course they know they’re pregnant. That’s how they know if they want to carry to term or not.

God says mothers who murder their children should be put to death, actually, @KristanHawkins. “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.” Genesis 9:6 She is right that the prolife movement was founded by the Catholic Church though, and that is why it has failed. That is why after 50 years, we have more child sacrifice than ever and endless compromise. We need a biblically grounded movement dedicated to obedience to Christ and His unchanging word, and that is what we have in the abolitionist movement. Join us! Abandon prolifeism and join abolition, Christians!

@4NonyaBusiness @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins A ship full of pagan mariners not at all wanting to toss Jonah at his request lest he even happen to die in self-defense “..O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life.. lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee” Jonah 1:14

@Stephen_Faris @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins You have yet to disapprove our right to life and autonomy or our right to defend our lives and autonomy against harm and non-consensual use. Self-defense is not “murder”. It is both morally and legally permissible.

@4NonyaBusiness @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins Samson not conceived yet, mom must diet for him, but autonomy to murder? “..the angel of the LORD.. said unto her.. drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.. thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.. the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb” Jdg 13

@Stephen_Faris @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins It is you who is seeking to infringe the human rights of women/citizens to their lives and bodily autonomy and reduced them to nothing more than property of others for their use. That’s not “value in life” when you devalue the lives of women

@4NonyaBusiness @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins We could argue you sacrifice everyone’s equal protection of law, including your own, the moment you accept unjudged murder upon a baby/brephos. But somehow it’s someone else sacrificing on the “altar of their politics” but not you. We all have had to repent of this at some point.

@Stephen_Faris @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins We could argue you anti choice types seek to sacrifice born daughters on the alter of your politics.

@4NonyaBusiness @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins Brephos/βρέφος: the babe in Elizabeth’s womb (Luke 1:44), the babe Christ in a manger (Luke 2:12), and the young children recalled as being cast out to the end they might not live (Acts 7:19) In or out of the womb, let the Biblical fact stand that women who shed blood are judged

@Stephen_Faris @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins Not about abortion, dude🤡 it addresses Israel’s idolatry, pictured as adultery, and the literal child sacrifice of already-born sons and daughters to pagan gods.

@4NonyaBusiness @LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins “And I will judge thee [capital city], as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged…” Ezekiel 16:38 KJV bible.com/bible/1/ezk.16…

@LizzieMarbach @KristanHawkins Not biblically🙄.

@BenZeisloft @histories_arch During 1973-2023 (50yrs), 11,000x more unborn American children were murdered than U.S. service members killed globally in hostile actions & terrorist attacks (our symbol of ultimate sacrifice). By 10x quantity & duration, we exceed the Holocaust, our symbol of ultimate evil

@histories_arch We rightly call ancient Carthage barbaric after finding evidence of 20,000 child sacrifices. How will history recall modern America and our more than 65,000,000 child sacrifices?
