Tony Perkins: We Can Do For Gay Rights What We've Done To Abortion Rights

[Initech]

The Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins devoted his June 28 Washington Update to celebrating the fact that pro-choice Republicans have been nearly completely purged from the party.

“Endangered species are usually something we try to protect — but not when those endangered species are pro-abortion Republicans!” he wrote. “Over the past few years, the GOP has become a tough environment for Republicans who aren’t committed to advocating for the unborn. Now, with President Trump boldly leading the charge for life, most of the party’s more liberal members have seen the writing on the wall.”

Perkins cited a Politico story saying that, thanks to a couple of retirements, pro-choice Republicans in the House of Representatives “will finally be extinct.” He called anti-choice dominance of the GOP “the answer to decades of prayer,” adding, “So, many would argue, is the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy.”

Trump’s appointment of anti-choice judges has vindicated religious conservatives who backed him, according to Perkins. “They took a risk — and the reward is five solid votes for life.”

Perkins said the successes of the anti-abortion movement, including Trump’s judges, “are the fruits of decades of hard work from pro-lifers.” And he suggested that Religious Right activists opposing the achievements of the LGBTQ equality movement should take heart.

If we remain persistent in our stand for the truth, God promises that we will see a harvest like we’re witnessing today. That ought to be an encouragement to pastors who are engaging the culture on moral issues today. Our friends in California — entire congregations — are challenging laws that would take away their freedom to speak openly about areas of sexual bondage.

OK then you've lost all right to call yourself a Christian, and you can stop pretending that you care about children, asshole.

[Matthew28]

1. So pretty much to hell with

freedom and personal choice to live life the way one wishes.

What a fascist fuck.

[Initech]

2. He would make a great James Bond villain.

[FiveGoodMen]

4. That pretty much describes christianity

Hard, fast, and seemingly arbitrary rules that must be obeyed.

One slip and you DESERVE an eternity on fire.

(There's a test you can take about Jesus that's supposed to get you out of trouble, though)

[BannonsLiver]

20. And anti women every step of the way

[Blue_true]

6. People like him are about controlling people.

Controlling women, controlling freedoms. I honestly don't understand why many Surburban whites continue to vote republican, the republican party does not represent their interests.

[Wwcd]

3. We can also do to Kkkristians what the US did to the

Koch family of John Birchers back in the 60's
And the KKK in the Southern Slave States..

...and on down the long list.

[Initech]

8. I really wish they'd stop saying they care about children.

If they support separating children from their parents, or they support such things like gay conversion therapy and other crimes against humanity, they clearly don't.

[Wwcd]

9. Tom Perez: "Republicans don't give a shit about people"

Yup. He said it.

[Mariana]

21. They've convinced themselves those kids are better off

separated from their rotten parents, or being converted into straight people (remember, they think conversion therapy works), and being forced to bear the children of their rapists, etc. etc. etc. They believe all these things are helping children.

[JI7]

5. Trashy ass xtians

[Raven123]

7. This is exactly why we can't focus solely on the pro-choice issue

I hope businesses will apply pressure. They already impacted some of state legislation. Don't know what effect they can have on the SCOTUS pick, but they sure can help in the election cycle.

[Corgigal]

10. These men are such short term thinkers.

Lots of marriages will be broke up. Lots of women will be beaten and killed. The country will turn brown and black faster, cause white women will have a credit card to get it done somewhere else.

Not to mention how much our taxes will go up, Trump,is breaking our GDP now. Steal baby locations will make a killing, but not enough foster or adoptive families. Gonna be a bunch a pissed off young people in 18-20 years. Brilliant.

[hibbing]

11. Sexual bondage n/t

[Volaris]

14. Yes I'm curious about those areas as well;

Specifically, is there a cover charge, and does Mr. Perkins know how much it is (I bet he does) lol

[roamer65]

12. If there is an Antichrist and *it* persecutes these vermin...I am fully onboard.

[Skidmore]

13. "It" is in the WH. nt

[Initech]

15. Yeah and he'll totally throw them under the bus when he's done with them.

They'll suck up to them now because he loves it and they think he's god because reasons, but when he no longer needs them, he'll screw them over. I guess that's the "art of the deal".

[roamer65]

16. Nah. Satan would send one light years smarter than Spanky.

[Vogon_Glory]

17. I think he overestimates his clout

The anti-abortion movement may have drawn in a lot of Catholics and other liturgicals, but gay-bashing seems to be a particularly Evangelical sport. I suspect that he’ll find that his movement will have scattered red-State successes and a lot more enemies.

[WhiteTara]

18. I've been informed they are evangelicals, not Christians.

the proselytizing has driven all but the staunchest, most hateful sheep away from religion.

[Mariana]

23. Evangelicals believe Christ was the son of God

born of a virgin, performed miracles, was crucified and resurrected, and forgives their sins. How are they not Christians?

[WhiteTara]

35. Their mission is to proselytize

rather than live the words, they just preach the words and live differently from the words. Hypocrites is what I call them.

[OliverQ]

19. Tony Perkins is one of the most evil men in the country.

He's not a Christian by any stretch of the imagination. He's basically a Fred Phelps/Pat Robertson type and was one of the architects of the "Kill the Gays" bill in Uganda.

He's a truly morally bankrupt, depraved monster.

[Mariana]

24. If he's not a Christian, what is he, exactly?

Is he a member of some other religion? Is he an atheist?

[OliverQ]

27. A fake Christian. A monster who uses Christianity as a weapon against other

people, but doesn't actually follow it.

[Mariana]

28. That doesn't answer the question.

A fake Christian isn't a Christian, by definition. If he isn't a Christian, what is he, exactly? Obviously, you believe he's a non-Christian of one kind or another. What is he?

[spanone]

29. he's a politician using Christianity as a political platform...nothing more.

he's a God user.

[Mariana]

30. Is he an atheist, or a follower of some other religion?

If he's not a Christian, he must be one of those. Which do you think he is?

[spanone]

31. I don't care what his religious affiliation is. he's an asshole.

[Mariana]

34. Well, some people care enough

to insist that the can't possibly be a Christian. Because, of course, only non-Christians can be horrible, hateful people, right?

[spanone]

22. yes you can....it's called denying civil liberties.

[superpatriotman]

25. Is the right's concern REALLY about abortion?

Or is it about control?

[Turbineguy]

26. Taking away something from someone else

that doesn't make you richer.

I prefer an honest mugger.

[pwb]

32. What harm, has anyone in the groups you hate, done to anyone in your fake family organization?

I think no harm. Free will, judge not, not covet neighbors, are not part of your fake religion.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. Good luck.

More than two-thirds of Americans say they support same-sex marriage, according to a new Gallup poll published Wednesday.
