Gary Bauer Dissects the Vance-Walz Three Against One Debate
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute, Bauer dissects the vice-presidential debate between Senator J.D. Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The big take-aways, according to Bauer, were: 1) The moderators fact-checked Vance on abortion law in Minnesota. They were dead wrong. Walz signed a law in Minnesota that allows abortion through nine months of pregnancy and grants legal protections to abortion providers who administer no life-saving medical intervention to babies who survive an abortion, even when they are full-term. The Minnesota Department of Health reported that eight babies died this way since Walz signed the bill into law. 2) Walz, to justify mass illegal immigration, quoted Matthew 25:40, “And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’” Context is important. There is much theological debate on what Jesus meant by this, but some experts say He may have been referring to His disciples. But suggesting society must extend this grace as mass amnesty to 10+ million lawbreaking individuals is likely a stretch and a poor biblical interpretation. 3) Applying the governor’s exegesis, one could also strongly argue that vice presidential candidate Walz could include preborn children in “the least of these.” Listen to this post-debate podcast for more from Bauer, and share it with your family and friends.
