That\u2019s why harm to an unborn Hebrew child was met with swift financial punishment as described in Exodus 21:22-25. It\u2019s also why Deuteronomy 24:16 forbids children from being put to death for the sins of their parents.  <\/p>\n<p>It also ignores first- and second-century Christian teachings such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/issues-and-action\/human-life-and-dignity\/abortion\/respect-for-unborn-human-life\">\u201cDidache\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cLetter of Barnabas,\u201d<\/a> and the early church openly condemned the killing of children, unborn or born. <\/p>\n<p>Scarborough furthered his blasphemous diatribe by claiming that \u201cpeople perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ down to one issue,\u201d saving preborn lives, are guilty of \u201cheresy.\u201d But it\u2019s really Scarborough who is guilty of taking the Bible out of context to justify abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t believe me, if that makes you angry, why don\u2019t you do something you haven\u2019t done in a long time? Open the Bible. Open the New Testament. Read the red letters. You won\u2019t see it there,\u201d Scarborough said. \u201cAnd yet there are people who are using Jesus as a shield to make 10-year-old raped girls go through a living and breathing hell here on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scarborough said it\u2019s the pro-life community, not abortion activists like himself, who have \u201cconveniently overlooked the parts of the New Testament where Jesus talks about taking care of the needy, taking care of those who are helpless, who live a hopeless life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey believe, these state legislators believe, that life begins at fertilization and ends at childbirth,\u201d Scarborough \u2014 willfully ignorant of Psalm 139, which acknowledges God \u201cknit me together in my mother\u2019s womb\u201d \u2014 said incredulously. <\/p>\n<p>This narrative is, of course, a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/11\/the-lefts-forced-birth-motif-is-just-a-projection-of-its-own-lethal-force\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lie<\/a> often invoked by abortion activists who think that tarnishing Christians \u2014 who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/christian-young-adults-give-more-to-charity-than-non-christians.html\">are more charitable with their finances<\/a> than any other group \u2014 is a winning strategy. Not to mention, it completely ignores that God is explicitly involved in the creation, development, and end of human life, as reaffirmed in God\u2019s message to the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:5 and Job\u2019s lament in Job 10:8. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Scarborough\u2019s comments are] biblically, theologically, and historically ignorant,\u201d Ryan T. Anderson, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and co-author of the new book\u00a0\u201cTearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing,\u201d told The Federalist. \u201cIt just reflects a profound ignorance of the Christian tradition with respect to abortion, along with bad-faith attacks on pro-lifers who volunteer time and treasure to assist mothers and babies in need, and work to enact laws and policies that will protect and support them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The attempt to smear Christians is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealSaavedra\/status\/1078031246230310912?s=20&amp;t=jnYoPGOIPyhoejEm461NUw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nothing new for Scarborough<\/a> or Democrats. Just last month, the Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/22\/biden-regime-targets-red-states-religious-voters-in-latest-push-to-normalize-unpopular-abortion-radicalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced plans <\/a>to brainwash men, women, and people of faith with \u201cresearch\u201d detailing the \u201cphysical and mental harms women face if they\u2019re denied access to abortion.\u201d That includes claiming that the medical costs associated with pregnancy and birth alone are enough to justify dismembering babies in the womb.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
