Colorado Pastor: God Directed Attack On Pregnant Woman To Teach Us A Lesson About Abortion Rights

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 3/26/2015 3:30 pm

Joining Colorado Republican lawmaker Gordon Klingenschmitt in suggesting that the attack of a pregnant woman in Colorado was part of a divine plan to expose the injustice of legal abortion, Colorado-based radio host Kevin Swanson wondered yesterday if “by God’s providence, He may have somehow directed this irony to teach Colorado a lesson” about its “pro-abortion” policies.

According to reports, the woman “was stabbed and had her baby cut from her womb” and the baby later died.

“We’re a murderer state,” Swanson said. “There is so much blood on the hands of this state, it’s hard to live here. It’s hard to live in the state of Colorado because there is so much blood on the hands of our leaders, here in the state of Colorado, and the populace who is so pro-abortion they would not protect this child who was murdered in her mother’s womb over the weekend.”

I can understand a pastor emotionally going to abortion under those circumsteances. I don't understand ignoring the fact that the woman was killed or thinking that God's message might have been how a culture of senseless violence devalues women and children in general.

I do not wish to express that thought outward. However, if you think about it deeply, and not inside the typical thought-constraint box, the answer should be crystal clear.

Because there are many many times God commands murdering children, and even commands an abortion. Seriously, read it.

No self-respecting gods would let this kind of crap be spouted in their name without blasting the offender on the spot.
