Trump confronted ‘devout’ religious Democrat on abortion at Prayer Breakfast: report

[redleghunter]

Trump has definitely ruined the reputation of his Christian supporters, as well as the integrity of their Christian witness.

This is interesting to say the least. I believe some made the argument that when voting for President we are not voting for National Pastor.

That when it was mentioned Hillary Clinton enabled her husband’s sexual assault allegations that was between them and a private matter.

I assume by the question what LGBT rights Trump hasn't protected that the articles I posted below were not read. If that is the case, then I'm not surprised the articles were ignored. If the articles were read and the question was still asked, then I'm not surprised about that occurrence either.​

Trump promised to be LGBTQ-friendly. His first year in office proved it was a giant con.

Excerpt: Donald Trump Is the Most Anti-LGBT President in History

(1) Rescinding Obama-era guidance to protect the civil rights of transgender children in schools.

(2) Calling for (and still fighting to enact) a total ban on transgender service members in the armed forces – including kicking out existing trans people effectively and proudly serving their country.

(3) Rescinding Obama-era regulations that ban discrimination against LGBT people in a variety of arenas. Among them, rescinding an Obama-era policy that protects transgender workers, and reversing an Obama-era rule banning health care discrimination against transgender people.

(4) He instituted an extraordinary policy reversal, prioritizing the rights of people of faith over the rights of LGBT people.

(5) He rejected a rule proposed by the Obama administration requiring "that same-sex spouses are recognized and afforded equal rights in certain Medicare and Medicaid-participating facilities.

(6) He has placed a virulently anti-LGBT justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, and flooded the federal courts with equally (or worse) anti-LGBT judges.

(7) One Trump nominee for a lifetime position as a U.S. District Court judge proudly admitted he discriminates against gay people, because they're gay.

Excerpt: Trump administration dismantles LGBT-friendly policies

Despite Trump’s promise to defend LGBT rights, his health agency has blocked efforts to combat discrimination. The nation's health department is taking steps to dismantle LGBT health initiatives, as political appointees have halted or rolled back regulations intended to protect LGBT workers and patients, removed LGBT-friendly language from documents and reassigned the senior adviser dedicated to LGBT health.

The sharp reversal from Obama-era policies carries implications for a population that's been historically vulnerable to discrimination in health care settings, say LGBT health advocates. A Health Affairs study last year found that many LGBT individuals have less access to care than heterosexuals; in a Harvard-Robert Wood Johnson-NPR survey one in six LGBT individuals reported experiencing discrimination from doctors or at a clinic.

The Trump administration soon after taking office also moved to change the agency's LGBT-related health data collection, a window into health status and discrimination. Last month it established a new religious liberty division to defend health workers who have religious objections to treating LGBT patients.

In what way? Wall building?

Not wall building respect for all life. Being against abortion is being anti-abortion. If a person doesn't respect all life they are not pro-life. You cannot degrade people and be pro-life. You cannot think it's okay to kill and be pro-life.

How does Trump establish it is ok to kill?

Drone strikes are way down under his administration.

Republicans look the other way when they vote for an adulterer who committed sexual assault. 4 fingers pointing right back atcha.

Have you listened to his speeches? He called for the killing of the families of terrorists. He has called for the death penalty for more crimes.

What does that have to do with it? Do politicians actually kill aborted babies?

That's exactly right! The Republicans who voted for Donald Trump have absolutely no moral right to point a judgmental finger at Democrats for any kind of sinful behavior. I consider their judgmental finger pointing to be hypocritical and self-righteous. I think it's nothing more than virtue signaling. I don't think they have any credibility left to point that judgmental finger of theirs or even talk about morality or preaching morality when they continue to support and defend Donald Trump.

I've lost respect for the Christians who support Trump and I don't take their preaching against sin seriously anymore because they know full well that Trump is a twice divorced admitted adulterous philander in his third marriage to his former mistress. He said he's never asked God for forgiveness. He said he doesn't believe adultery is a sin. He had an affair with a inappropriate content star and then paid her off to silence her. He boastfully bragged about groping multiple women and his Christian supporters called his bragging 'locker room banter' or 'macho talk.' He bragged about watching teenage girls getting undressed during beauty pageants. He joked about dating his daughter if she wasn't his daughter.

Reading this thread, it seems that all it takes to be a “Christian” in eyes of some is to voice an objection to abortion. Nothing else matters - apparently.

 

[redleghunter]

What does that have to do with it? Do politicians actually kill aborted babies?

By their laws yes they do.

By their laws yes they do.

Then when Trump runs his mouth those people who follow make him guilty.

...this is a man who has clearly shown that he keeps his promises...

Unless you count his vows to his wives, present and past. Unless you count the numerous contractors and business associates he's renegged or stiffed on failed contracts. Or unless you count the students of Trump U.. (and the list could go on).
