I have been posting on my other social media accounts (FB and X) today with reference to Trump’s support of the abortion pill; in other words, on his support of abortion en masse. It is a dilemma, indeed. Kamala and Walz will seemingly be the final death knell for America. If they win it will be akin to jumping out of the window of a high-rise building that is on fire. The country, and world, will simply get to where it has already gone, it will find its bottom quicker than if Trump and company win. In my view Trump will only offer a retarding effect on what has already been set in motion. He will put a skid on the total and immediate economic collapse, and all the upheaval that will cause. He will bring an end to the wars that are currently underway across the world. He will bring energy independence back to America. And he will do more that will seemingly be positive, in regard to national flourishing. And yet with all of the above in the balance, on the other side he is pro-abortion (pill). He believes that accessibility to the abortion pill ought to be in reach for anyone who has access to the post office. Just to be clear, the abortion pill is not the “morning after pill,” or anything like that. A person ingests the abortion pill if they are confirmed to be pregnant; it chemically destroys the baby from there. The abortion pill is something like making a mother’s womb like mini-mobile-gas chambers. Drop the poison, and it engages in a shoah catastrophe that reaches even beyond the gas chambers of Hitler’s satanic scepter (as far as numbers go in regard to loss of human life). Ultimately the logic and activity Trump is committed to, with reference to the abortion pill, is something like going full circle. It is a logic of death that has no graded place in the economy and Kingdom of God in Christ. It is the same logic of death that Kamala and Walz et al. are committed to on the “other side” of the same coin of death.

1. God’s judgment on the USA entails a false-dilemma. That is to say: we have been presented with two false choices, before God, for the office of the president of the United States.
2. It is a form of natural theology that says that God spared Trump (from assassination) because God endorses Trump (He clearly doesn’t endorse Kamala either).
3. The only abyss the human being ultimately hangs over, apocalyptically that is, depends on whether a person is for Christ or against Him. Whether a nation in the now fails or prospers is contingent on the aforementioned. It is not contingent, per se, on who the President is. If the core of the country is rotten, who the President is in the midst of that core will not bring the salvation so many hope that it will.
4. Has the political situation become so dire that in fact it is better to jump out of the window of the burning World Trade Center than it is to stay and endure the flame and the total collapse of the building? That’s the question I am reflecting on. They both end in the same place, it’s just how you get there.
5. Leaving abortion up to the states is like leaving slavery and segregation up to the states. It is a federal issue like nothing else is. If it cannot be banned at the Federal level, in my view, we don’t deserve to be a country.
6. My Dad’s church (where he was senior pastor) in North Long Beach, CA was very involved with the House of Ruth, and Walk for Life. The House of Ruth was/is an organization that helps unwed and abused mothers find refuge and a way out, without being reduced to abort their babies. Walk for Life provides a public witness that there are people who oppose abortion, but also who are there to minister to those who otherwise might abort their babies. And now of course there are many other organizations (Crisis Pregnancy Centers etc.) that are involved just the same.
7. “Abortion is not, therefore, one issue among other issues. It is the most fundamental postmodern issue. As we saw earlier in this book, the gods of the ancient world demanded that their servants sacrifice their children to their power. This was the “abomination” that the Lord refused to Israel in the Old Testament and to which Israel was continuously tempted. In the Bible, this is not a random picture of evil meant merely to shock us. It is, rather, based on an anthropological insight: the willingness to kill your child and the consequent construction of a system of child murder is the only path to pure power, pure sovereignty. Pure power demands that keeping helpless people alive be a voluntary display of power, a whim of the strong; otherwise, if power is ever revealed to be for the weak, the social hierarchy is inverted, and the whole system is exposed for the lie that it is. This is why, as we saw earlier in this book, nearly all pagan societies condone the killing of babies. This is how human power can speak order into chaos without opening itself to what is beyond it, to the transcendent. Nowhere is the West’s final slide into post-Christian paganism clearer than in the abortion regime, which kills around sixty million children every year, roughly 20 percent of all babies. As the pope wrote: ‘Where God is denied and people live as though he did not exist, or his commandments are not taken into account, the dignity of the human person and the inviolability of human life also end up being rejected or compromised.'” -Andrew Willard Jones, The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics (Steubenville, Ohio: Emmaus Road Publishing, 2021), 336-37.
