Last week, televangelist Jim Bakker declared that legal abortion is a sign that we are in the Last Days, expressing shock that anyone would favor abortion rights.
“People are literally, it’s a big thing in the news right now, they’re having nervous breakdowns over the political campaign,” he said, “because there’s people who feel so strongly on both sides. Isn’t it amazing, people are so strong that they want to kill babies, that they’re fighting for the right to kill babies?”
He added: “If an atomic bomb had dropped on America, it wouldn’t do any more damage than what abortion has done.”

They're fighting for the right to only have the children they are able to take care of properly.
Who benefits from people having unwanted children? Will Mr Bakker pay for their upkeep and healthcare?
Abortion doesn't do any damage; unwanted children brought up in orphanages or living in the street does much damage.
Hosea 13:16.
Guess the 'Last Days' were the begining of your 'religion' then, you shyster.
Those unborn murdered in that part of Scripture never had days to start with, for them to end .
You're figting for the right of your religion to exist , certainly have any relevance in the 21st Century, Jim Yakker.
I trust Clinton winning will ensure it's ultimate demise, certainly politically. Good.

Why are the last days so long?
And so damned many of them!
I guess One Day really is 1,000 years.

Actually I believe they do. Unwanted and unloved, these babies will grow up to be frustrated and hateful adults, easy to manipulate, easy to offer their faith, the ersatz of happines.
Forgetting for a moment how vastly you misconstrue the medical facts of abortion...
The Bible explicitly allows parents to put their own children to death. It outright commands the slaughter of babies during conquests.
Read your tome of endless nightmares.
I hate abortion too, but it's just a symptom of the fact that America seems to hate families. And no, I'm not talking about the magical nuclear family of one white dad who works, one white mom who stays at home and cooks, and 1-3 white children where the boys play sports and the girls play with dolls.
Our adoption system is a mess, with too many kids in the foster care system! Our sex education is a joke, with an emphasis on just not doing it, with such helpful tips flying around as "You'll never get pregnant on your first time!" We readily shun pregnant teens, preferring to treat them like criminals than give them the help they (and the kid) need! And our government seems determined to bleed us dry with high taxes and little to no healthcare!
I'm against abortion as much as Jim Bakker is. The difference is that I want to fix the issues that make it so appealing, while Jim just wants to punish people who deviate from his magic standard.
So the Holy See, Malta, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Chile will all be spared the Last Days as they have no legal abortion? And the Last Days have been coming since 1920, when Russia legalized it? Or does your god not keep abreast with events outside the United States?

Roe vs. Wade: 1973. Legalisation of abortion in Britain: 1967.
Day: 24 hours. Year: 8760 hours.
Half a century since the latter legislation. Those 'Last Days' taking a fucking long time, eh Jimbo...?! [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
