Kamala's Record is Full of Attacks on Life and First Amendment
Rights
kamala_harris_microphone.png
Yesterday presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden
announced that he had chosen Senator Kamala Harris as his running
mate, making for the "most pro-abortion ticket in
history." Senator Harris takes her support for abortion to
appalling extremes. Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie
Dannenfelser pointed out that Harris supports taxpayer-funded
abortions on demand up until birth, and has even opposed legislation
that would ensure lifesaving care for abortion survivors.

Harris also allowed her support for abortion giant Planned Parenthood
to interfere with her work as California Attorney General prior to her
election to the U.S. Senate in 2016. While she was serving as
California Attorney General, Harris ordered a raid on a citizen
journalist David Daleiden's home after he exposed Planned
Parenthood's role in the trafficking of body parts from aborted
babies. The handling of Daleiden's case has raised significant
concerns regarding freedom of speech and the future of undercover
journalism. In May, the Center for Medical Progress filed a
lawsuit against Harris and others for "brazen,
unprecedented, and ongoing conspiracy," pointing out that
Harris secretly met with Planned Parenthood executives to
discuss the investigation shortly before the raid.

Senator Harris's attacks on religion are just as troubling
as her attacks on free speech and due process. Last year she
introduced legislation that would have gutted the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act. Like her running mate, Harris wants to
require the Little Sisters of the Poor to pay for contraceptive
and abortion coverage, and when the Supreme Court was deciding

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, Harris filed a brief against Hobby
Lobby arguing that employers should be required to provide
contraceptive coverage, even if it violated their religious beliefs.
Harris has also suggested that a Catholic judge's religious
beliefs should disqualify him from serving on the bench.

The Biden campaign would have been hard pressed to find a vice
presidential candidate who has displayed more hostility to religious
freedom, free speech, and life in the womb than Senator Kamala Harris.

Freedom from the Politics of Fear
praying_hands_folded.png
Christians are often accused of engaging in politics because we love
power and we want to control people. While these accusations are
spurious, it is important that we ask ourselves why we engage in
politics and what we communicate to the world around us. Our cultural
engagement reflects what we believe about God. Because God is
sovereign over all, we can be free from the politics of fear. So, as
we engage, we should ask ourselves if our words and our actions
reflect this. Do we engage in such a way that people know us by our
love? Does the world around us know that we love and celebrate
God's design? Do we approach victories as well as defeats with
the confidence that, whatever happens, God is in control, or do we
allow ourselves to be consumed by fear and bitterness?
If we place our ultimate hope in anything that is not God, we ask that
thing to be something that it is not, distorting its purpose and
keeping it from what it was designed to be. As a result, something
that was created to be good becomes something harmful. Political
engagement is a good thing, but all good things must be used rightly
in order to remain good. If we find that our politics are marked by
resentment, fear, and love of power, we should carefully examine our
hearts and ask ourselves if we have allowed ourselves to bow to an
idol by placing our hope in the political process, instead of God.
Worldly approaches to political engagement look to policies and
politicians to save us and redeem the culture. This misplaced hope
leads to political engagement fueled by the fear and resentment that
comes from putting our faith in people, human institutions, and
worldly methods instead of in God. As Christians, we must do politics
differently - politics "worthy of the gospel of Christ." (Philippians
1:27) Because God is sovereign and no politician can
"hurt" him, we are able to engage with hopefulness and
love, rather than fear and resentment. Instead of putting our faith in
politics, we are able to see politics as a tool in the hand of God and
a means that we use to seek the good of the people around us.
