Cissie Graham, Abby Johnson Urge Americans to Vote for Religious Liberty & Life

During the second night of the 2020 Republican National Convention, Cissie Graham Lynch, daughter of Franklin Graham, and Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director, urged Americans to consider religious liberty and the sanctity of human life when voting in November.

“In the words of my grandfather Billy Graham,” Lynch said, “‘Let us stand for political freedom, moral freedom, religious freedom and the rights of all Americans. And let us never give in to those who would attempt to take it from us.’”

Lynch reminded listeners of the first line of the First Amendment, particularly the phrase “free exercise of religion.”

“That means living out our faith in our daily lives—at our schools and at our jobs. And yes, even in the public square,” she said.

She went on to praise President Trump for the actions he has taken to protect religious freedom over the last four years.

“He appointed judges who respect the First Amendment,” Lynch said. “He supported religious beliefs in court. He ensured that religious ministries would not be forced to violate their beliefs. He reversed the policies that placed our little girls at risk.”

“And on the world stage,” she continued, “President Trump became the first president to talk about the importance of religious freedom at the United Nations, giving hope to people around the world.”

Lynch warned that leftists will force Christians to choose between their Biblical beliefs and a progressive agenda, because the “radical left’s god is government power.”

Johnson issued a similar warning through her personal story of working at Planned Parenthood.

She shared about how the organization recruited her at a volunteer fair while she was in college.

“They talked about helping women in crisis,” Johnson recalled, “and their commitment of keeping abortion safe, legal and rare.”

She began working at a clinic as a volunteer and was later offered a full-time job as a medical assistant before being promoted to director of the clinic.

“I truly believed I was helping women,” she said.

But her perspective began to change when her boss assigned her an “abortion quota.”

“I was expected to sell double the abortions performed the previous year,” Johnson said. “When I pushed back, underscoring Planned Parenthood’s public-facing goal of decreasing abortions, I was reprimanded and told, ‘Abortion is how we make our money.’”

It all came to a head in September 2009 when she was asked to assist with an ultrasound-guided abortion.

“Nothing prepared me for what I saw on the screen,” Johnson told viewers. “An unborn baby fighting back, desperate to move away from the suction.” She said the calloused words of the doctor just before the baby was suctioned away—“Beam me up, Scotty”—have haunted her to this day.

It was then that she decided to leave the clinic, becoming a fierce pro-life advocate.

Johnson said that she supports President Trump because “he has done more for the unborn than any other president.”

She cited his actions to restore and expand the Mexico City Policy, blocking federal funding for international organizations that participate in abortion services or abortion referrals, as well as his appointments of a record number of pro-life judges, including two Supreme Court justices.

“Life is a core tenant of who we are as Americans,” Johnson said. “This election is a choice between two radical, anti-life activists and the most pro-life president we have ever had. That’s something that should compel you to action.”

She ended by imploring Americans to vote in November and to “do it with our … most vulnerable Americans in mind. The ones who haven’t been born yet.”

A War Weary World: As Nation Rises Against Nation, The World Is Ripe For A Peacemaker

Israel, of course, is at the epicenter—with Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the ongoing threat from Iran. The United States is also facing off against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, with this global oil chokepoint still being restrained and escalation ready to break out at any moment. Iran is preparing for all-out war. Iranian leaders are making all kinds of bombastic threats, trying to deter a renewed large-scale assault by the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is threatening to use the “mother of all bombs” (MOAB) against the regime. Then you have all the crisis and chaos in Europe. It's being described as “horror.”

The Upheaval In France Is Knocking On America’s Door—The Midterms Determine Whether It’s Welcomed In

When political grievances become an excuse for destruction, Constitutional government must stand firm — or risk surrendering the streets to the mob. The scenes unfolding in France should serve as a warning to every American who values liberty, public order, and constitutional government. When thousands of demonstrators take to the streets, when political protests descend into looting and arson, and when historic public buildings become targets of mob violence, a nation must ask itself a fundamental question: Who is really in charge? The rule of law, the citizens and their elected representatives? Or the most aggressive factions willing to intimidate everyone else?

Franklin Graham: Jesus Is Coming Back… And It’s Not Going To Be Far Down The Road 

During a lengthy sit-down interview with Fox News Sean Hannity, evangelist Franklin Graham boldly detailed to a largely secular podcast audience the list of extraordinary evidence showcasing that our world is living in the season of Jesus’ return. “Jesus is coming back,” Graham declared. “He is going to come back, and He is going to establish His throne here. There's gonna be a new Jerusalem. He is coming down, and He is going to reign. That is going to take place. When that's gonna take place, I don't know… but it's not gonna be that far down the road. Jesus told us to look for signs. In Matthew chapter 24, He gives us great examples of what's coming and what we ought to be looking for. If you look today, [you can see] the signs.”
