We are now witnessing something many believe to be much worse than slavery. We are seeing legal genocide. In other words, when people of color vote for a pro-choice candidate or platform, they are (unconsciously) voting for their systemic extermination.
Regarding post-birth issues such as racism, we must be fair and cite the horrendous racist history of the Democratic Party. It was part of Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan and slavery. Until the past three decades, it was far behind the Republican Party (the party of Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. ) regarding civil rights. Hence, we should not blindly vote based on party affiliation but according to how the party platform and candidate line up with biblical moral law.

The seventh commandment, “You shall not commit adultery” (Ex. 20:14, NIV), decrees that all sexual acts outside of the marriage of one man and one woman are considered adultery. The marriage bed, as defined by God’s Word, should remain undefiled (Heb. 13:4). Leviticus 18 gets into more detail regarding how the seventh commandment is unpacked and illustrates how heterosexual sex with someone who is not one’s spouse—with another person’s spouse, with in-laws, same-sex relations, as well as sex with animals—is forbidden by God. Paul the apostle restates some of these sexual acts as sin in Romans 1:26-27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
Hence, same-sex marriage undoubtedly violates two of the first three commandments related to human relations.
The eighth commandment, “You shall not steal” (Ex. 20:15), relates to economics.
This is where it gets sticky. Progressives claim that one of the major political parties favors the rich because they presumably pay a smaller percentage of taxes than the middle class. (The income tax percentage for the rich is higher than the middle class, but most rich people earn much of their income through capital gains, which are taxed much lower than income from salary. However, all people have a right to buy and sell property and trade on the stock market; it is not a right reserved only for the rich. However, most poor people need to be financially knowledgeable or have enough money to make a living through capital gains categories such as real estate and trading stocks.)
