This Christian Democrat Told a Catholic the Bible Never Mentions Abortion | 10/15/26

Texas Democrat and seminarian James Talarico just sat across from a Catholic voter at a CNN town hall and told her the Bible is silent on abortion. She didn’t let it slide. Jody Hunt, a self-described one-issue Catholic voter, was asking how she could trust him to protect the most innocent. Talarico’s answer: “We’re both Christians, and the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion.” He argued that they could still find common ground by reducing unplanned pregnancies through other policy levers. Hunt came back immediately: The Bible is not silent. She pointed to the Ten Commandments and “Thou shalt not kill.” She added that Catholics take real insult when people claim the Bible has nothing to say on the subject. Talarico responded that if he believed abortion was murder and violated the Commandments, he wouldn’t support it. He also claimed Texas’s current ban has women dying in emergency room parking lots and that authentically pro-life people should be disturbed by those outcomes. This is the same candidate who has repeatedly used his faith to defend abortion access, including past claims that Jesus never talked about it and that the Bible is silent. The exchange happened live while he was trying to win over skeptical Texas voters in a tight Senate race against Ken Paxton. Regular Americans who actually read the Bible are tired of progressive politicians rewriting Scripture to fit their platform and then calling it Christian. The double standard is obvious: The Commandments suddenly become optional the moment they conflict with the preferred policy. Pat also covered: Kalshi traders give James Talarico a 63% chance of winning; only 42% of Texas traders are buying “Yes” on Talarico, compared with 48% of non-Texas traders.

Does “Thou shalt not kill” apply to the unborn, or is the Bible actually silent? Have you watched a progressive Christian politician get corrected on Scripture like this before?
