The Left is Lying to Americans About Abortion

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer calls out the neo-Marxist organization, Shout Your Abortion, who has recently purchased billboards along Interstate 55 that say, “God’s Plan Includes Abortion.” This freeway takes travelers through the heart of the Bible Belt and on into Illinois. Bauer also points out that when pro-abortion politicians claim that no one approves of abortion up and to natural childbirth, they are bald-faced lying! These same politicians cannot name one form of abortion they would legally prevent. Bauer admonishes American pastors who say abortion is a political issue that doesn’t belong in their churches. He calls on these church teachers to WAKE UP to the error of their ways! These stories and other bizarre neo-Marxist doozies are featured in today’s podcast.
