Mike Pence

Planned Parenthood has recently received many donations in the name of Vice-President-elect Mike Pence. This is an interesting development.

Pence, a conservative Christian, would never give money to Planned Parenthood, since it is the largest provider of abortions in the United States. Planned Parenthood is an ironic name for this organization, since much of their focus is on helping people plan to become parents of dead babies.

The donors, some of whom are (not surprisingly!) liberal entertainers, hope to embarrass Pence when his office receives acknowledgements from Planned Parenthood for the donations.

I wonder what an opposite reaction from the right might be? Perhaps they could make donations in the name of liberal politicians to children’s hospitals, pro-life pregnancy centers or some other organization that works to save children’s lives rather than destroy them.

The bottom line is, Mr. Pence will not be held responsible for evil done by other people who use his name. We each are accountable for our own actions, and we each bear the responsibility for our own sins.

“If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve.”—Leviticus 26:21.
