Pastor BLASTS Christians Who Support Planned Parenthood
On Tuesday, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, Christian author and president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, blasted Christians who support abortion giant Planned Parenthood while speaking on The Church Boys podcast. Rodriguez explained that it was unjustifiable for any follower of Jesus to support a candidate — Republican or Democrat — who backs Planned Parenthood, advising such Christians to “repent” for their actions.
The reverend expressed his passion for the pro-life mission, saying it was his “number one advocacy platform.” I am “extremely pro-life,” he said.
“I want to speak to every single African American, Latino, and Ango Christ follower who believes in biblical orthodoxy — how can we justify supporting anything — be it Republican or Democrat — that in any way, form or shape defends Planned Parenthood?” asked Rodriguez. “How can we justify supporting any political candidate that defends Planned Parenthood?”
Rodriguez continued to lay in to Christians who support abortion, calling such action “morally reprehensible” and a “contradiction to our commitment to Christ and scripture.” Such Christians, he proclaimed, “need to repent,” concluding that elections have real consequences.
“Any Christian who would support a candidate who defends Planned Parenthood really needs to seek scripture,” said the preacher. “You need to repent, because there’s culpability in what takes place in this nation as it pertains to the abortion industry if you dare support a candidate who supports Planned Parenthood.”
The Be Light author slammed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for his recent remark that abortion should have no restrictions at all. Rodriguez called this “scary” and “mind-boggling.”
“I get scared when people say there should be no limits — you’re kidding me,” Rodriguez said. “You’re about to kill a human being who’s about to come out of the womb. I can’t justify it. It makes absolutely no sense.”
The idea that a baby can be justifiably killed in the womb at seven or eight months, he continued, is “anti-God,” “anti-human” and dilutes the value of human life. The preacher invoked historical dictatorial control and corresponding mass murders.
The Blaze reports that Rodriguez previously weighed in on the rise of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, linking the last seven and half years of Obama and what he called “Christian populism” to Trump’s rise.
“’The consequence of the earthquake is Donald Trump,’ he said, noting that societal reverberations have resulted from frustration over big government, impediments to religious liberty and political correctness ‘on steroids.’ ‘It’s an interesting thing, because it’s Christian populism,’” notes The Blaze.

He added, “In a matter of 7 and a half years, America has been redefined culturally, morally — in so many ways even economically [with] this thing called Obamacare.”
Rodriguez also said that President Obama has immensely changed from the candidate he first campaigned as. The preacher said he was once on Obama’s “abortion-reduction task force.”
