I gave a talk last night at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church at Clemson University. The day before my event, the priest sent out a letter to the parishioners, telling them that my stand for equal protection for the unborn stands in opposition of the Catholic Church. He then went on to imply that because of my stance to treat abortion as murder, that I want women to receive the death penalty (which by the way is a pro-abortion talking point).

I want to be clear. I believe abortion is murder. I believe the victim of abortion is the preborn child. Sixty percent of women having abortions have already delivered children. The majority of women having abortions have already seen their preborn child on an ultrasound and still choose to murder them.

We don’t live in a time where you have to look in an encyclopedia to get information about pregnancy. We all have access to pictures of children in the womb, graphic images of abortion and so much other information at our fingertips.

I don’t WANT any woman to be prosecuted for murdering their child…because I don’t want them to murder their child. But as a Christian, I do absolutely believe that there are eternal and earthly consequences for our actions.
