OPINION:
Did anyone happen to catch New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent pro-abortion rant on Twitter? In it, she appeared to be claiming that the Jewish faith allows procured abortion, and that an abortion ban would interfere with the religious freedom of Jewish people.
Wow. Really? I’m a Catholic who knows the Old Testament. AOC needs to educate herself before she says this type of thing.
It’s ridiculous to think the Jewish faith allows abortion. I’m hoping Ms. Ocasio-Cortez simply failed to think through her little speech, because the Fifth Commandment clearly states “Thou shalt not kill.” What’s more, the Old Testament reveals that people sacrificed their children to false gods. And guess what? God condemned it.
AOC’s latest blathering shows the extremes to which politicians will go in order to keep abortion legal. It is the lifeblood of the Democratic Party. But abortion is child sacrifice. Today those who advocate it have just dressed up the evil with deceptive labels like “pro-choice.”
