Talarico, who defeated U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Democratic primary, argued this would counter pro-life state laws, claiming the &#8220;anti-choice minority has taken advantage of the undemocratic loopholes in our political system to impose their radical program on our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wrote: &#8220;This minority is threatening our most basic rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness&#8221; \u2014 a statement that ignores the unborn&#8217;s fundamental right to life, reducing innocent children to obstacles in a radical agenda. Talarico&#8217;s push for federal abortion facilities exemplifies leftist extremism that prioritizes killing the vulnerable over protecting life from conception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talarico&#8217;s record is far from moderate. He advocates for fully open borders, supports biological males in girls&#8217; sports, and claims &#8220;modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes\u2026 In fact, there are six.&#8221; On the Joe Rogan Experience, he condemned the &#8220;religious right&#8221; for making homosexuality and abortion key Christian issues, asserting: &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He even invoked the Gospel account of the Annunciation to defend abortion, suggesting a woman&#8217;s unwillingness justifies terminating her child \u2014 a blasphemous distortion of Scripture that devalues the sanctity of life. Texas Republicans blasted Talarico. State Rep. Brian Harrison warned: &#8220;Don\u2019t let Talarico\u2019s \u2018seminary student\u2019 persona fool you\u2026 he\u2019s more liberal than Bernie Sanders.&#8221; U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill stated: &#8220;If Beelzebub were a politician, he would talk like this.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico, a self-described &#8220;moderate&#8221; Christian Democrat and Presbyterian seminarian, urged President Joe Biden in a 2022 letter to establish abortion centers in every national park and federal office.
