Convict Trump: The Constitution is more important than abortion

[Arkansas Granny]

Christians should advocate for President Donald J. Trump’s conviction and removal from office by the Senate. While Trump has an excellent record of appointing conservative judges and advancing a prolife agenda, his criminal conduct endangers the Constitution. The Constitution is more important than the prolife cause because without the Constitution, prolife advocacy would be meaningless.

The fact that we live in a democratic republic is what enables us to turn our prolife convictions from private opinion into public advocacy. In other systems of government, the government does not care what its citizens think or believe. Only when the government is forced to take counsel from its citizens through elections, representation, and majoritarian rule do our opinions count.

Our democratic Constitution — adopted to “secure the blessings of liberty” for all Americans — is what guarantees that our voice matters. Without it, we can talk about the evils of abortion until we are blue in the face and it will never affect abortion policy one iota. The Constitution — with its guarantees of free speech, free assembly, the right to petition the government, regular elections, and the peaceful transfer of power — is the only thing that forces the government to listen to us.

Trump’s behavior is a threat to our Constitutional order. The facts behind his impeachment show that he abused a position of public trust for private gain, the definition of corruption and abuse of power. More worryingly, he refused to comply with Congress’s power to investigate his conduct, a fundamental breach of the checks and balances that is the bedrock of our Constitutional order.

I can't say that I agree with all of their reasoning, but it's a crack in the evangelical armor that has been surrounding Trump.

1. I can think of a LOT of things more important than banning abortions...

Dumping IMPOTUS just tops the list right now.

3. I agree with you, however, abortion is one of the biggest single issues for evangelical voters.

I know several people who base their vote on that issue alone.

4. Oh, I understand fully. Anti abortion is one of the triad of legs the Repubs stand on...

the other two being guns and the destruction of the government. Funny how I don't agree with them on any of those issues.

7. republicans in Congress

By reusing to convict trump are really saying our national security being weakened is ok. The rule of law doesn't apply to them, and they would rather have us under a dictatorship rather than a Democracy. The republicans are now knowingly promoting putin's propaganda for him and trump, and promoting trump justice where his opponents are targeted by his personal attorney B Barr who works for and only him . They make up claims they know are false, and take russian money to undermine our elections, and think the American people will stand by and do nothing? They learned nothing from the Mid terms. I fear trump will declare something to not have elections knowing he'll lose, and make wild claims to use as an excuse to do it. Some think his abortion stance is one way when he could care less, but is using it to keep them voting for him.
