Biden claimed yesterday in a press conference that because he is a “child of God”, and “exists”, that he has a right to promote abortion on demand.
1. No true Catholic ‘child of God’ would dream of making such a statement.
2. Biden was once himself in the womb. Was he a child of God then, during that nine month gestation period before birth?
3. Did Biden the embryo and fetus have rights then, during that gestation period? If the fetus must “exist” as Biden does, presumably after parturition, then Biden clearly does not believe that the human embryo and fetus has rights of any sort.
So then the conclusion is inescapable that the child in the womb is not a ‘child of God’ and has no natural right to life or even to be born.
4. Biden’s statement is the very essence of contradiction. He is a ‘child of God’ now, but concluding from his position, he and everyone else were not before birth. And his concurrent testimony that his rights do not come from government but from his being a child of God and thus “exists” demonstrates that his rights actually do come from government. He goes on to claim that he is to “delegate” to others the authority to support his opinions.
“I don’t want to get in a debate with you on theology, but you know,” Biden told a reporter on Ash Wednesday. “Well anyway, I’m not going to make a judgment for other people.”
Indeed, Mr. Biden, you certainly don’t want to get into a debate on theology. You are beyond incapable of “the art of making crucial distinctions” demanded of the theological task, as Martin Luther put it. And your assertion that you are not going to make a judgment for other people is just one more of your flat-out lies.
