Waiting on him

This is why I won’t be voting this year.. I’ve come to realize that voting for either party would be aligning myself with evil. People need to wake up to the fact that government composed of men will never solve ungodly issues.You keep thinking the Supreme Court can fix this. It can't. You could have nine Catholics on the Supreme Court and they still couldn't fix it. I repeat: If Roe v. Wade was overturned, all it would mean is that matter would revert to the states the way it was years ago. You would need a constitutional amendment to ban it nationally. It is all a lot of hot air. Ronald Reagan talked about an amendment to the constitution banning abortion. He never even tried to get it through Congress.
I am not even sure if he really was anti-abortion. He signed a very liberal law when he was governor of California. Then when he wanted to run for President, he changed his position and got the endorsement of religious folks. Sounds like Trump, doesn't it?
Reagan’s Darkest Hour | National Review
As president, Ronald Reagan was an unflagging champion of unborn human life. “Today there is a wound in our national conscience,” Reagan told a joint session of Congress in his 1986 State of the Union. “America will never be whole as long as the right to life granted by our Creator is denied to the unborn.”
But honest discussions of Reagan’s record on the abortion issue admit that as California governor he signed into law a liberalization of abortion that led to an explosion of abortions in the nation’s largest state. Reagan critics and supporters alike recognize this fact — one that is particularly tough to swallow for staunch pro-lifers. The full story, however, is more complicated — and worth setting straight now, 35 years after Roe v. Wade.
On June 14, 1967, Ronald Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act, after only six months as California governor. From a total of 518 legal abortions in California in 1967, the number of abortions would soar to an annual average of 100,000 in the remaining years of Reagan’s two terms — more abortions than in any U.S. state prior to the advent of Roe v. Wade. Reagan’s signing of the abortion bill was an ironic beginning for a man often seen as the modern father of the pro-life movement. How did this happen?
And Republicans have continued to play the "Moral Majority" like a fiddle ever since. Falwell Sr helped Reagan win, and Falwell Jr helped Trump win. All you have to do to get the evangelical vote is tell them you're against abortion. If you were for it before, say you changed your mind.
Wake up and smell the coffee. If anyone is going to solve this problem, it will be our churches. Our churches are in such ruins now that some people think our public schools should teach children how to pray.
we have a King.
