A few things about the somewhat infamous Democrat running for senator in Texas, James Talarico, and the exchange on abortion during last night’s CNN town hall:

Contrary to Talarico’s claim, abortion is clearly prohibited by the Bible. As Jodi Hunt, a University of Dallas professor of applied ministry who also heads the Neuhoff Institute for Ministry and Evangelization, made clear to him last night, we are instructed not to kill in the Ten Commandments. That means abortion is murder. It is a sin. If we can’t manage to not kill the most innocent, the unborn with no voice but that of the adults responsible for their lives, we are off to a gravely disastrous start with our stewardship of human life.
