It is ironic that former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is presenting himself as the balanced alternative to extreme socialists like Senator Bernie Sanders. In reality, when it comes to areas of great concern to Christian conservatives, Bloomberg has been anything but moderate.
As noted by Catholic activist Bill Donohue with references to his tenure as mayor, “on two key social issues—abortion and religious liberty—the presidential candidate was a total bomb.”
Donohue actually claims that “Bloomberg is one of the most radical pro-abortion politicians in American history.”
Among the former mayor’s accomplishments was this: “Bloomberg’s passion for abortion allowed him to appropriate $15 million from a civic facility revenue bond transaction that benefited Planned Parenthood.”
Would you want someone like this in the White House?
Lest you think these policies were a thing of the past, on Feb. 12 Bloomberg announced, “As president, I will fiercely protect a woman’s right to choose, and I will appoint judges who will defend that right.”
He also declared, “On my first day in office, I will reverse the damage President Trump has done to women’s rights and ensure that every woman has access to reproductive health care.”
Never Trumpers who are pro-life might want to reconsider their stance should Bloomberg become the Democratic nominee. (For that matter, given the current crop of candidates, they should reconsider their stance regardless of which candidate emerges as the Democratic nominee.)
Donohue also states that, “On religious liberty issues, Bloomberg’s record was similarly awful.”
