Biden honors life

Christians are often encouraged to vote Republican for the party's pro-life stance. Donald Trump, whether religious Republicans like it or not, is now the head of their party. Donald Trump is not pro-life, and if Christians are going to honor the sanctity of human life, they are morally obligated to vote for Joe Biden in November.

Trump and his administration ripped young children from the hands of their migrant parents and separated them permanently, with no plans or documents to reunite the families. The children were traumatized and malnourished, fed frozen, uncooked, or rotten food in captivity, and were not given medical care when they predictably became ill. Children died. Donald Trump doesn't care.

On Sept. 9, we learned of footage from tapes from Bob Woodward's interviews with Trump, where Trump is heard admitting he knew the novel coronavirus was far deadlier than the flu, that it is transmitted primarily in the air, and not by touch and that it is extremely contagious. To the American people, including his supporters, he lied and denied COVID-19's severity and the necessity of masks and social distancing. Roughly 200,000 Americans are now dead. Donald Trump doesn't care.

Now because of the COVID-19 pandemic, people are losing their jobs, and with that their health care. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is in the courts trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which insures more than 20 million Americans, and which becomes more and more necessary with each lost job, as upwards of 5 million Americans lose their employer-sponsored health insurance. Lack of health insurance causes Americans to avoid seeking medical care. As a result, people will die. Donald Trump doesn't care.

In November, Joe Biden is the candidate who honors life. Donald Trump doesn't care.
