“One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree: The government, and certainly Donald Trump, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” Harris wrote on X.
But Dungy, who has coached both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts and has been an outspoken pro-life activist, had some questions.
Dear VP Harris: I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what “faith” are you talking about when you say you don’t have to abandon it to support abortion? Are you talking about the Christian faith that says all babies are made in the image of God (Gen 1:26), that God… https://t.co/Lo7v8V4wRm

Reportedly, Melania Trump in her forthcoming book asserts the right of the mother alone to decide on termination – not the law or pressure groups.
Heavenly Father, I now come before Your Throne of Mercy and Grace and pray Psalm 127:3-5 NCV: “Children are a gift from the Lord; babies are a reward. Children who are born to a young man are like arrows in the hand of a warrior. Happy is the man who has his bag full of arrows. They will not be defeated when they fight their enemies at the city gate.” In Christ Jesus’ Name, and by His Authority, I pray. Amen.
Dearest Heavenly Father: I know how much YOU love the babies. That you purposefully formed each and everyone of them and had plans for them in your kingdom. I am so sorry that so many in America are forgetting your commandment concerning Thou Shalt not Kill (Exodus 20:13) and are trying to exalt themselves above you and decide who shall live and die. Keep shining your revealing light exposing all the lies the Devil is telling people. Not only about them being able to choose life or death for the helpless, but that they can choose and change even what gender you have created them. We desperately need your help in America, Father. In this Spiritual battle it currently appears the inmates are running the joint but we know you are GREATER than he who is in this world Father and we stand on your almighty word and promises. We know that you will not be mocked and that YOUR WILL will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. We ask Father that you show up in America and help those of us who love, respect and fear you to take back our land as ONE NATION UNDER GOD in this upcoming election. For this we give you all Glory, Honor, Power, and Praise for YOU alone are Worthy to be Praised. We pray this prayer in the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Savior, Healer, Protector, Best Friend Ever — OUR EVERYTHING!
God, are there any times when Abortion is the right Option? ” When it comes to abortion, it is importation to begin with what God has to say about the matter. We know from His word that life begins in the womb. It is not a blob or a tissue-it is a human being in the womb-It is a human being : a person with a future, God says he knitted each child in the beginning and picked out a calling for each baby. An anointing on this earth. God’s word is clear-(WE ARE to choose life.) and a call from God with a purpose”. God says-we wonder about such situations about rape, incest or possible threat to the life of the mother. “Many , however, wonder about these situations since they make up less than 1% of abortions annually. ‘ We need to pray and open our hearts to God , pray and ask Him to speak to a persons Spirit about a situation as sinful as satan wants. “Does God think of a child as being conceived in a molested way -is any different than the normal way of conception. Does it take away the fact that God still formed the baby in the womb. The scriptures say_ Proverbs- 6:16-17 ” There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a (lying tongue), hands that shed innocent blood” Psalm-139-13 ” You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb” We can trust in Gods Words – Isaiah 44-2 ” Listen to me, you -he who made you, who formed you in the womb , and he who will help you” Jeremiah 1-5 ” Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart”. God’s Word declares that many are set apart to God for ministry even while in their mother’s womb ( Jeremiah 1-5 and Galatians 1-15) There is no question where God stands on abortion. He is always for life. God says if you have an abortion or encouraged one, its time to receive forgiveness. How I feel about these words when Kamala says “you do not have to abandon your faith is another lie, she does know Jesus saying things like she does. Anyone is sadly mistaken if they think they are not sinning and headed straight to Hell if they believe her Lies. God will give forgiveness if we repent before the Lord. He forgives anyone if they are serious about forgiveness. IF satan tries to make you fall again, say my sins have been washed away, and I am looking forward to see my baby. These words are Gods promises. I have news for K. Harris she is spewing out yo all women and young girls telling them -get abortions- (She has no business spouting out to the news –that Pres. Trump does not need to be telling women what to do with their bodies, when this is exactly what she has done and still is doing. What needs to be said and shown to others who have gotten abortions or planning an abortion needs to understand- to deliberately destroy a life before birth would be as premediated murder as in taking the life of other innocent person. God I pray if anyone is involved in an abortion, my suggestion is start praying asking God to direct you to a place where they can help you. These counsel organization can help you plan an adoption or if you want to keep the baby they will help you to get in an organization to prepare and teach you how to prepare for birth. We must remember satan is ruling this abortion and making these groups of girls or women have a demonic dark spirit on their lives. Father expose the lies of Kamala and others who are promoting sin.
Father, silence the lies that you approve of abortion. Thank you for Tony Dungy’s words to her about not leaving “your faith” to embrace abortion. Open the ears to truth when they hear her speak so they can reject what she says.
There are many words that could be said to and of Ms Harris.
Those words ,however , would serve better if they be turned to prayer over her that the scales and blinders be removed from her eyes
to be able to discern God’s truth and desire for this nation and her life
I pray that He, the Father, would be able to find even a small opening in her heart….room enough for His spirit to enter in and bring her to repentance and salvation.
I prayed America be a place of liberty and justice for ALL, especially the pre-born, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, amen.
Once a woman is pregnant, it is no longer just her body. There are two bodies, two hearts, two precious lives at stake. For nine months she is entrusted with the miracle of a separate being developing within her–separate DNA, perhaps separate blood type, separate hair and eye color in the DNA, certainly separate personality and dreams–until she delivers her baby safely to term. Is 9 months of her life devoted to the care and nurture of her own flesh too much to ask of her?
The two Chinese characters for “womb” are “child palace.” Every child’s sanctuary. Rights for the mother, with no rights for the fetus, make the womb the most dangerous, the most lethal, place in the world for an American baby.
What a great point you make, Jessica! The mother is entrusted with a new life developing within her. What a great betrayal whenever abortion is performed. That trust is sadly broken in gross travesty.
I would add that once a woman is conceived, it is no longer just her body… “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” This includes all human beings as they are created in God’s image and for His purposes. The fact that He gives us a free will is so that we learn to choose Him over us, His ways above our ways, His glory over ours, and His will not mine be done… The only voice in the room that matters is His, not the doctor’s, not the mother’s or the father’s or any politician, but only Abba Father’s voice who loves us each more that we can ever imagine and knit us all together in the womb (His womb that He created as an incubator of life)… “Greater love hath no man that this, that He lay down His life for His friends. “That is Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit love… God have mercy on us for leaning on our own understanding and not acknowledging You in all of our ways; for allowing this holocaust of the unborn happen on our watch. Please convict us, lead us to You and repentance, forgive us and heal our broken land, teach us Your ways and lead us in Your paths of righteousness. In the name above every other name, Jesus Christ the Lord of Lord and King of Kings. Amen
Why isn’t this a given for all Christians? This issue is being spun to make women who are uneducated on the facts that somehow they won’t have access to health care. That isn’t the case.
