Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Planned Parenthood in Iowa has closed 11 clinics in last two years and if Ernst is elected, they face even greater resistance and restrictions. The abortion industry is big business. In 2009, they performed 332,278 abortions and made just 977 adoption referrals. That makes up 37% of their income, which has led to 500 million in profits over the last decade. If you do the math, thats $185 million dollars in profit from killing the unborn. They give few to no mammograms. They frequently recommend sadomasochism, bondage, and torture (and worse, like fecal play) to underage girls. They have been found to encourage and cover up statutory rape and child sex abuse, help and hide child sex trafficking, and encourage illegal sex-selective abortion. Basically, they are evil and should be opposed on all fronts. There is nothing they do positive that your local pregnancy center doesn't do.
And apparently, Jodi Ernst is a threat. She must not be some politician only giving lip service to being pro-life just to get votes. She even sponsored a personhood amendment to the Iowa Constitution. That would define the unborn as a person with the rights of a full adult while in the womb. That kind of definition seems pretty consistent with Psalm 139, don't you think?
Bruce Braley, however, has made it clear he is very pro abortion. He released an ad you may have seen attacking Ernst's position and this online ad, rich with rhetoric like "women's bodies," "choice," "access," and "rights." Using those kind of buzz words, while lacking any real substance or addressing of abortion, is consistent with the political games of pro-choice politicians. "War on Women" and all that. What about the body of the unborn? What about the choice and rights of the little girls killed in abortion? The difference between Ernst and Braley on abortion couldn't be clearer.
If the unborn is a human life, made in the image of God, it should be opposed on all fronts. No, I do not only care for the unborn and yes, I fully support helping and caring for moms and families. But yep, these days I'm a one-issue voter. If you are for the killing of children made in the image of God, I will never vote for you. Joni Ernst, however, really seems to be standing to protect the unborn. So much so, she has drawn the ire of the biggest abortion provider in the country. Braley, however, stands in firm support of abortion. So, Iowa Christian, how will you vote? Truthfully, I'm not a fan of her cliche, female politician hair. But God bless her, she's got my vote.
