This post has the correct verse: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212898680

For the Lord loves justice and will not abandon his faithful ones.

There is not one thing in the Bible that substantiates the anti-abortion position, besides a few perversions of the two men fighting passages. Others try to justify it because God created the fetuses by blowing up earthen dirt into the womb, since the bronze-aged people didn't know how pregnancy happened. They claim that God knows their fate... the same God that kills babies, children, and pregnant women all of the time. Who is to say that the one God knows that the one in the womb wasn't destined to end in abortion too.

Most of the passages assign just a fine for the death of a fetus. And one set of passages allows a drug to induce abortion if the father proves the fetus is not his.

A protester just burst into the Senate gallery, Gallery 5, across chamber from the dais, yelling something like "Jesus Christ! They're trying to overturn the election!" Capitol Police instantly grabbed him and pulled him out to the hall. Yelling continued. #impeachmenttrial

I love that Hakeem quoted Scripture about Justice, immediately after.

"In God we trust, all others pay cash."

For some reason, I just thought of that.

Would believe Trump over Jesus for credibility...

About 2:55 on the timeline.

"Let me tell you," he continued. "If Jesus Christ gets down off the cross and told me Trump is with Russia, I would tell him, hold on a second, I need to check with the president if it is true. That is how confident I feel in the president."
