Innocent babies should be killed in the womb so they don’t grow up to have problems in life, a Baptist ‘minister’ says. Abortion, he said, ‘protects the life of children.’
Babies should be killed in the womb so they do not grow up in an “unsupportive” situation, a self-described “queer” Protestant pastor said, according to a viral video clip.
Kurt Kaufman is a recently “ordained” minister who currently works as a “ministerial associate” at First Baptist Church of Denver.
Protestia, which often criticizes liberal Christianity, posted a video of an interview Kaufman gave where he explains why he supports the intentional killing of innocent preborn babies.
“Being in favor of reproductive rights [i.e., the destruction of the unborn], first and foremost, protects the life of the mother, and protects the life of the person that is already living, and is the person that is able to bring more life into this world should they choose,” Kaufman said.
He said actually killing babies “protects the life of children” because “[t]here are so many children that currently exist in this world that were forced to be born because of legislation.”
Children were also “forced to be born,” Kaufman said, “because of men that have decided for women, and so as a result, many children have grown up into a[n] unsupportive, unhealthy, and right-challenging household that hasn’t been a life that any child should live.”
This is why, according to the “minister” it’s a good thing to support the killing of babies.
“And so being in favor of reproductive choice helps the life of children everywhere, because they don’t have to grow up in a world that dislikes them because they simply exist,” Kaufman said.
LifeSiteNews asked Kaufman for further information on when the interview occurred, what he would say to the counterargument that society does not kill babies after they are born just because of their circumstances, and at what point he believes preborn babies are human beings that deserve protection from abortion.
