Texas Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico, a self-described “moderate” Christian Democrat and Presbyterian seminarian, urged President Joe Biden in a 2022 letter to establish abortion centers in every national park and federal office. Talarico, who defeated U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic primary, argued this would counter pro-life state laws, claiming the “anti-choice minority has taken advantage of the undemocratic loopholes in our political system to impose their radical program on our country.”
He wrote: “This minority is threatening our most basic rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” — a statement that ignores the unborn’s fundamental right to life, reducing innocent children to obstacles in a radical agenda. Talarico’s push for federal abortion facilities exemplifies leftist extremism that prioritizes killing the vulnerable over protecting life from conception.
Talarico’s record is far from moderate. He advocates for fully open borders, supports biological males in girls’ sports, and claims “modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes… In fact, there are six.” On the Joe Rogan Experience, he condemned the “religious right” for making homosexuality and abortion key Christian issues, asserting: “This idea that to be a Christian means you have to be anti-gay and anti-abortion, there really is no historical, theological, biblical basis for that opinion.”
He even invoked the Gospel account of the Annunciation to defend abortion, suggesting a woman’s unwillingness justifies terminating her child — a blasphemous distortion of Scripture that devalues the sanctity of life. Texas Republicans blasted Talarico. State Rep. Brian Harrison warned: “Don’t let Talarico’s ‘seminary student’ persona fool you… he’s more liberal than Bernie Sanders.” U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill stated: “If Beelzebub were a politician, he would talk like this.”
