Trump Spiritual Advisor Calls for Miscarriage of 'Satanic Pregnancies'

BY TARA LAW
JANUARY 26, 2020

President Donald Trump’s personal pastor, the televangelist Paula White, is facing criticism after praying for the miscarriage of “all Satanic pregnancies” during a sermon earlier this month.

During a Jan. 5 sermon, White asked Jesus Christ to cause the pregnancies to miscarry so they will “not be able to carry forth any plan of destruction, any plan of harm,” according to a video released by the liberal activist group Right Wing Watch.

. . .

After White’s sermon emerged, many commenters interpreted her meaning literally, arguing that she was calling for the end of certain pregnancies. Some, including author and OB/GYN Jennifer Gunter said that White seemed to be advocating for abortions.

However, White attempted to clarify her comments in a statement on Twitter, writing that her words had been “taken out of context.”

“I was praying Eph 6:12 that we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Anything that has been conceived by demonic plans, for it to be cancelled and not prevail in your life… Let’s be clear what is really going on… this is a disingenuous attempt to use words out of context for political gain. I will just keep praying!”

is all we have to look forward to in the future as we fall from grace in a global way... I think I'm ready for the rapture too, just to get away from these fucked up zealots.

That is one high level of hypocrisy, and they continue to keep keeping on.

The Democrats have never tried anything close. It wouldn’t work. We have to live in the real world.

Of all the "blessings" to pray for, why would this very specific one come up?

These grifters run pretty slick operations, pulling in hundreds of millions by playing on the spiritual beliefs of the naive.

Their message is fine tuned to manipulate. What purpose comes from praying for the death of an unborn? Especially from a "pro-life" evangelist?

Is she also playing to "an audience of one"? Is she absolving someone?

In case you haven't figured it out yet, Trump is Rosemary's Baby.
