A prominent evangelist has publicly challenged a Democratic State Representative who claimed the Bible contains no references to abortion. Franklin Graham directly disputed the lawmaker’s statement, arguing that scripture clearly addresses the matter.
“Representative Talarico couldn’t be more wrong! The Bible is not silent on abortion. God commands us, You shall not murder,” Graham stated. He also referenced biblical text from Jeremiah, saying “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
The state representative at the center of Graham’s criticism, James Talarico, is currently seeking election to the U.S. Senate.
