Pro-life conservatives must reject Tim Walz

In picking Tim waltz as her running mate, Kamala Harris has sought to portray him as coach waltz and a friendly public servant. However, Governor waltz has not been friendly to religious liberties or parents who seek to guide the upbringing of their children. The Catholic League of religious and civil rights reports that Walt signed legislation excluding Christian universities with statements of faith from Minnesota’s post secondary enrollment option program. This program allows high school students to enroll at local colleges at no cost to them, and enables the students to receive both high school and college credits during covid 19 lockdowns, waltz banned houses of worship from having gatherings of more than 10 people, even though he had allowed retail stores, casinos, bars, restaurants to open at 50% capacity, and he approved the opening of the Mall of America after Minnesota’s religious leaders said that they would reopen at 33% capacity, waltz backed down and allowed them to open just at that level. In 2023 January, waltz enshrined a sweeping right to abortion in Minnesota law. And in May 2023 he took the more extreme step of repealing Minnesota’s protection for babies born alive following an abortion procedure, effectively legalizing infanticide in certain circumstances. The May 2023 legislation also repealed Minnesota’s informed consent law and eliminated positive alternatives, which is a grant program that provided more than $3 million to pregnancy care centers in Minnesota. In april 2023 Walt signed a bill turning Minnesota into a transgender sanctuary state. The law gives state courts temporary jurisdiction over any child in Minnesota who has, in quote, been unable to obtain gender affirming health care. End quote. So if a child goes to the state to receive so called gender affirming care, the law says that Minnesota would not return the child to his or her parents in a custody dispute, the parent could take the child to Minnesota for such so called care, and the out of state parent would have no recourse in Minnesota courts, the extreme measures Governor waltz enacted closely mirror efforts Harris has pursued at the federal level. In september 2022 Harris praised Democrat attorney generals for taking on crisis pregnancy centers. Now, keep in mind, pregnancy care centers are those that take women help them through a pregnancy that they were not expecting. They do not do abortions whatsoever, but they walk hand in hand with women and their families when they’re in a crisis pregnancy. Vice President Harris supports a federal law that places no limits on abortion, repeals conscious protections for doctors and nurses, and overrides the Religious Freedom Restoration Act on matters relating to abortion. HARRIS and Walt are an extreme team on matters relating to religious liberties and parental rights, something all voters need to know for November, but especially those that have religious convictions.
