--- --Biden’s Left Turn Threatens Religious Liberty Formerly a centrist, Democratic nominee promises quick advance on LGBTQ issues, abortion initiatives --By: Becca Coon | July 1, 2020 | Faith & Culture
With our nation embroiled in chaos and unrest, many Americans are looking to the upcoming presidential election in November and carefully weighing their options for which candidate is most likely to help lead the country away from impending doom while protecting constitutional guarantees of religious freedom.
Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, has been in politics for 50 years. And during those five decades, his once-centrist policies have gradually shifted far to the left, leaving many Christians questioning his commitment to protecting the rights of those Americans who hold to Biblical values. The former vice president claims he will “restore a national culture of inclusiveness that encourages individuals of all faiths to celebrate their beliefs openly and without fear of harm or reprisal,” yet he also promises to reverse the Trump administration’s religious exemptions for faith-based ministries, as well as conscience protections for health care workers. “Biden is running for president on a platform committed to advancing coercive social policies that would gut freedoms for many Americans,” says David Closson, director of Christian ethics and Biblical worldview at the Family Research Council. “If he is elected, we will likely see assaults on the freedom of religious institutions, religious people in the marketplace and public square, and the overall ability of people to integrate their faith in a robust manner in public life.” ~THE EQUALITY ACT~~One such assault would be the passing of the so-called Equality Act. In an effort to win over LGBTQ activists, Biden has vowed that he would sign the deceptively named bill into law within his first 100 days in office. This would establish new federally protected categories of sexual orientation and gender identity in every sphere of society, effectively changing America as we know it. “Governments that impose ideological viewpoints in law that deny God’s creation … threaten our fundamental rights of conscience and religious belief.” —Doreen Denny, vice president of government relations for Concerned Women for America Male-bodied trans women would have rights to women’s private spaces such as bathrooms, locker rooms, shelters and sports leagues; employers would be forced to provide health care insurance coverage for hormone treatment and/or sex reassignment surgery for individuals with gender dysphoria; parents would be federally banned from seeking counseling for their children struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion. Essentially anyone standing against the LGBTQ agenda would find themselves in violation of federal law. “Governments that impose ideological viewpoints in law that deny God’s creation, like the Equality Act, threaten our fundamental rights of conscience and religious belief,” says Doreen Denny, vice president of government relations for Concerned Women for America. “Liberals like Biden attack women’s rights in promoting an agenda that claims any man who perceives he is a woman is female. This is an assault on the dignity of women and directly threatens our safety and status under the law.” ~~ABORTION~~When Biden began in the Senate in 1973, he believed Roe v. Wade was “wrongly decided,” and in 1974, he told Washingtonian magazine that Roe “went too far.” He also repeatedly voted for the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal dollars for abortion services in most cases. But after falling out of line with his fellow Democratic candidates early in his presidential bid, Biden quickly denounced the Hyde Amendment and now pledges to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law and restore federal funding to Planned Parenthood if elected. While the topic of race has taken center stage this summer, little has been said about the abortion industry’s disproportionate targeting of black communities. In the United States, 38% of abortions are performed on African American women, according to a 2016 CDC abortion surveillance report, while just 13% of the female population is black. Yet Biden recently told listeners of the “The Breakfast Club” radio show that they “ain’t black” if they don’t back him for president—all the while advocating for what would lead to the murder of future generations of African American children. ~~RUNNING MATE During a Democratic debate with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in March, Biden committed to choosing a female running mate. While many on both sides of the aisle applauded the announcement, some wonder if it’s all a ploy to disguise the very real harm that would come to women under a Biden administration. “It is unconscionable that Biden and his presumptive female running mate would trample female dignity and justice for women,” Denny says. “Transactivists and all candidates who embrace their agenda are forcing female athletes to compete against biological males in women’s sports. They are forcing female prisoners and survivors of domestic abuse to share showers with males claiming they are women. They are forcing women to give up the privacy and safety of sex-specific restrooms, locker rooms and dorm rooms. These threats are against all the women of America and our daughters and granddaughters. “Often the choice of running mate is viewed through a lens of what the presidential candidate lacks,” Denny adds. “Does Biden’s pledge to choose a woman signal he is lacking in his appeal to women? Ultimately the question should rely less on demographic characteristics and more on qualifications.” ~~A BIBLICAL RESPONSE~~Joe Biden may identify as Catholic, but his positions on religious liberty, the LGBTQ agenda and abortion run counter to many of the Bible’s fundamental doctrines about who God is and who man is.
“There is simply no way to square Scripture’s teaching on these important issues with the public policy positions currently being advocated by Joe Biden and his campaign,” Closson says.
As November approaches, now is the time for Christians to seek God’s direction for the future of our country. “First Timothy 2:1-2 commands Christians to pray for the governing authorities,” Closson says. “During the lead-up to the 2020 election, Christians should pray for the safety and well-being of all the candidates. We should also pray for and advocate for candidates who will advance Biblical morality and God’s truth on important issues facing our country.”~~~~~~~~~~~

---[ JOE BIDEN ] / Threatens To Overturn Contraceptive Mandate/ Exemption for Religious Groups ~~
Following the Supreme Court’s July 8th decision allowing religious entities to opt out of covering abortion-causing drugs and contraceptives in violation of their beliefs, Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president Joe Biden pledged to overturn the contraceptive mandate exemption if elected president.
“As disappointing as the Supreme Court’s ruling is, there is a clear path to fixing it: electing a new President who will end Donald Trump’s ceaseless attempts to gut every aspect of the Affordable Care Act,” Biden said in a statement. “If I am elected, I will restore the Obama-Biden policy that existed before the Hobby Lobby ruling: providing an exemption for houses of worship and an accommodation for nonprofit organizations with religious missions.”
“This accommodation will allow women at these organizations to access contraceptive coverage, not through their employer-provided plan, but instead through their insurance company or a third-party administrator,” he added.
However, the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic religious order at the center of the case, has repeatedly stated that authorizing a “third-party administrator” to provide birth control to their employees is still a violation of their beliefs and is not an acceptable compromise. The Obama-era accommodation Biden referenced allowed religious organizations to opt out of paying for birth control, yet the policy still required the organizations to indirectly facilitate a third-party way of providing the drugs to female employees.
Much like Hobby Lobby’s win at the Supreme Court in 2014, which held that the Obama administration’s contraceptive and abortifacient mandate as applied to “closely held” corporations, such as the family-owned craft store, violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, [the] ruling is not likely to end all legal battles for the Little Sisters of the Poor.
“We now send these cases back to the lower courts, where the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey are all but certain to pursue their argument that the current rule is flawed on yet another ground, namely, that it is arbitrary and capricious and thus violates the [Administrative Procedure Act],” wrote Justice Samuel Alito in a concurring opinion.
Alito added: “This will prolong the legal battle in which the Little Sisters have now been engaged for seven years—even though during all this time no employee of the Little Sisters has come forward with an objection to the Little Sisters’ conduct.”
If Biden does take office, his threats could become reality. Since the executive action taken by the Trump administration to create the contraceptive mandate exemption was within its authority, a new president who is unsupportive of the exemption could reverse it.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, warned, “Even in the courts, religious liberty hangs in the balance. For those who say elections don’t matter in such cases, they need to think again.” ~~~~ DECISION MAGAZINE 2020 ~

--"Biden Dodges Court Packing Questions / Decision / Oct 12,2020
“You’ll know my opinion on court packing when the election is over,” Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Thursday during a campaign event in Phoenix, Arizona.
Since Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced in September his intention to move forward with confirming President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee before Election Day, liberal progressives have threatened to “pack the court” if Democrats gain control of Congress in 2021.
“If the Senate Republicans confirm Judge Barrett, Democrats must move to end the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court in the next Congress,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts) posted on Twitter.
Although the Constitution does not specify a certain number of justices allowed to serve at one time on the high court, there has been a longstanding tradition of nine justices since 1869.
During last week’s vice presidential debate, Vice President Mike Pence outright asked Sen. Kamala Harris if she and Biden plan to expand the number of justices on the court if Judge Amy Coney Barret is confirmed. Harris never answered the question.
“This is a classic case of ‘if you can’t win by the rules, you’re going to change the rules,’” Pence said.
In the days since, both Biden and Harris have been cagey on the topic, with Biden telling a KTNV reporter on Friday that voters “don’t deserve” to know his position on packing the Supreme Court.
But some conservatives believe that Biden and Harris’ evasion of the question is more telling than not.
“It is becoming more clear every single day that the reason Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will not answer the simple question on court packing is because the answer is ‘yes,’” commented Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List. “It is the latest example of Joe Biden being completely beholden to the most extreme elements of the Democratic Party, the same radical activists he caved to when he endorsed taxpayer-funded abortion. It is time for Joe Biden to show transparency and admit he’s once again caved to the leftist pro-abortion extremists and will pack the court if elected.”
If Biden does indeed intend to pack the court, it would contradict the stance he took in 1983 when he called court packing a “bonehead idea.”
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in July 1983 regarding nominations to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Biden referenced President Roosevelt’s attempt to add six new justices to the Supreme Court in 1937 after the court ruled that many of his New Deal programs were unconstitutional.
“… it was a bonehead idea,” Biden said. “It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make. And it put in question, if for an entire decade, the independence of the most significant body … in this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America.”
