Pro Life Evangelicals for Biden Feel Betrayed

 The below is a portion of an article I read in The Epoch Times. To me it is like Judas trying to return the 30 pieces of silver. We turned away the most pro life President for the most pro death president. There is innocent blood on many hands today.

On Sunday, Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden wrote an open letter to President Joe Biden, calling on him to “honor his commitment,” telling him they “feel used and betrayed,” pointing at the exclusion of the Hyde Amendment in the Democrat’s $1.9 trillion CCP virus relief package.

The Hyde Amendment is legislation that took effect in 1980 to prohibit federal funds from being used to perform abortions, with exceptions for live-saving situations or pregnancy resulting from rape or incest.

“We are very disappointed about the COVID-19 relief package’s exclusion of the Hyde Amendment, a longstanding bipartisan policy that prevents taxpayer funding for abortion,” reads the letter.

“We’re even more upset that the Biden administration is supporting this bill. As pro-life leaders in the evangelical community, we publicly supported President Biden’s candidacy with the understanding that there would be engagement [with] us on the issue of abortion and particularly the Hyde Amendment.”

The Evangelicals then said that they felt used and betrayed because, to obtain their support, they were told that there would be dialogue with them but stated that it hadn’t occurred so far.

“The Biden team wanted to talk to us during the campaign to gain our support,” the letter continues, “and we gave it on the condition there would be active dialogue and common ground solutions on the issue of abortion.”

“There has been no dialogue since the campaign,” they added.

Last month, the president of a Catholic civil rights organization released a scathing rebuke of the Equality Act introduced by Democrats, saying it promotes “the most comprehensive assault on Christianity ever written into law.”

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said in a press release that the “patently anti-Christian” legislation would allow “gay rights to trump religious rights.”
