KY Gov. Andy Beshear Equates Democrats’ Radical Abortion Aims With ‘Loving Your Neighbor’

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear kicked off the 2024 Democratic National Convention on Monday night by claiming that following Jesus Christ’s famous command to “love your neighbor as yourself” means supporting Democrats’ radical abortion-for-all agenda.

Beshear opened his lie-filled screed by attacking former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. J.D. Vance, for their sympathetic stance towards pro-lifers.

“Donald Trump appointed the Supreme Court justices who got us into this mess,” Beshear noted, taking aim at the high court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

While it’s true that Trump and Vance have pro-life track records, both have leaned into abortion positions in the 2024 election cycle that play into Democrats’ policy goals rather than adequately reflecting and acting on Americans’ feelings about the barbaric practice. Yet, Beshear still claimed the Republican candidates “simply don’t believe in your freedom.”

“Trump says people are absolutely thrilled that women have their basic rights eliminated. J.D. Vance says women should stay in violent marriages and that pregnancies resulting from rape are simply inconvenient,” Beshear declared.

In an MSNBC appearance the morning after his speech, Beshear appeared to wish he could make Vance “go through” a pregnancy resulting from rape.

Beshear’s assertions about Vance’s positions are all lies and certainly not rhetoric reminiscent of “loving your neighbor,” but Beshear didn’t stop there. The Democrat capped off his comments by pretending the protective pro-life policies touted by the GOP “give rapists more rights than their victims.” In reality, it’s Democrats’ push for no-questions-asked abortion through all nine months of pregnancy that paves the way for abusers and rapists to erase evidence of their crimes.

Beshear claims that “all women should have the freedom to make their own decisions, freedom over their own bodies. Freedom about whether to pursue IVF. Freedom about whether to have children at all.” Yet, approximately 24 percent of women say the loss of their unborn baby to either drugs or dismemberment was “unwanted or coerced.” The number of women who reported feeling pressure to abort jumped up to 67 percent when combined with the 43 percent who say they received an abortion even though it was “inconsistent with their values and preferences.”

Sweeping abortion policies that erase parental notification laws and endorse unsupervised abortions at home via mail-order mifepristone are known to protect rapists from justice under the law.

Life-saving laws limiting abortion, however, protect thousands of innocents, an overwhelming majority of whom were at risk of abortion for reasons other than rape, from murder every year. Pro-life laws also provide recourse and open the door for resources for women who are physically, mentally, and emotionally harmed by the baby-killing business.

Beshear often uses euphemistic language and cloaked compassion to advocate for Democrats’ radical political goals like child transing. His latest soap box declaration that “how we treat people transcends party lines” and his invocation of the “golden rule” and the parable of the Good Samaritan might sound good on the surface. But make no mistake that Democrats like Beshear support a party and a platform whose primary talking point hinges on the destruction of human lives.
