There’s a passage that I love in Romans 1 – I don’t love what the topic is – but it talks about homosexuality and it says that they will receive in their bodies the penalties of their behavior. And the Bible again, it’s right every time, and studies keep proving that and that’s why AIDS has been something they haven’t discovered a cure for or a vaccine for, because it’s the fastest self-mutating virus known to mankind. Every time they just about get a vaccine discovered for it, it transmutes into something new and they have to start over again. And that goes to what God says, hey you’re going to bear in your body the consequences of this homosexual behavior.
The same thing goes with abortion and now we’re getting studies, and these are somewhat negative studies, but they’re positive studies in that they prove that the Bible is right. So I want to read you the results of a couple of new studies that are out. Here’s a new study that out, now this is the second study that shows that women who have abortions double the risk of mental health problems … Now that’s not good news; the good news in this is God says “don’t kill unborn babies.”
Now, along the same thing, here’s another study, a new study now shows those who have abortions nearly triple the risk of breast cancer. It’s bad news, but it’s good news in the sense that it does show that the Bible is right. When God says don’t kill those unborn babies, there’s a reason. And He tells us in Deuteronomy 6:24 and Joshua 1:8, everything I tell you to do is for your good, for your benefit, so that you can prosper and you can have success. So when he tells us not to do this stuff, whether it’s homosexual behavior or whether its abortion, hey it’s for our benefit he tells us not to do it and now studies prove that to be true.
Now I haven’t seen the studies that serial liar, fantasy historian, raving lunatic David Barton is citing. Honestly, based on his track record, I’m not sure if Mr. Barton has actually seen the studies he’s citing. But I am willing to bet that the studies are either flawed, or he is reading into them what he wants to see. Abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer, at least according to every well done study I’ve seen. (The claim that it does honestly doesn’t even make sense.) As for the mental health problems quote, well once again, I haven’t seen the study, but at least this claim could make sense. It’s not like certain groups of Christians spend their lives trying to make women who had or are considering having an abortion feel like murderers or anything.
David Barton says this is all “good news” because it proves the bible is true. Even assuming that everything he says is true, (which once again, considering his track record is one hell of a leap of faith) all it proves is 1) that God really loves lesbians (have you seen their HIV infection rates?) and 2) God is a murdering fuck. (any idea how many pregnancies end through spontaneous abortion?)
Well, it proves one other thing.
David Barton is a fucking asshole. But we already knew that.
