With a stroke of his pen, the president reinstated a policy that uses our tax dollars to fund overseas abortions. In fairness, these dollars also help pay for essential medical services in other countries. However, the majority of Americans don’t want their tax money used to fund nonessential abortions here or anywhere else.

President Biden likely believes he’s on the right side of this issue. He probably thinks he’s helping safeguard reproductive rights and save lives. Again, a majority of U.S. taxpayers consider this “right” to be a moral wrong. In truth, many wonder how a president who ran on decency squares this morally.

Joe Biden is the president, but he can never be my captain. His notion of decency is built on the belief that he’s a good guy. Don’t good guys also cherish life and defend those who can’t defend themselves?

How have we come to accept a barbaric procedure in which an unborn baby is literally torn limb from limb in the name of choice?

If you’ve read this far, maybe it’s because you value truth over complacency. Or maybe this post angers you because you truly believe abortion is a right rather than a remover of responsibility and a safety valve for sexual consequences.

I know there will be an accounting for our national sin and shame. I also know that I can only do so much by speaking truth to power, but knowing my tax dollars are helping enable evil around the world makes me feel like an accomplice.

A 1973 judicial sleight of hand doesn’t fool the Captain of our souls. Nor does the incessant drumbeat of a “woman’s right to choose.” Our true Captain made us free to make our choices, but we have no right to deny others theirs.
