Franklin Graham Calls Abortion `Murder' Evangelist Franklin Graham delivered a message Sunday night at Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, Calif., mixing a bit of politics into his call for repentance. Reading from 2 Samuel 9:1-8, Graham recalled an event in the life of King David, in which the ancient ruler of Israel seeks to show God's kindness to the son of his childhood friend Jonathan. During the message, Graham listed a variety of sins, from lying and stealing to bearing false witness. Most emphasized, however, was the sin of murder, in particular abortion. "You say, 'Well come on, Franklin. This is California. We're kind of a liberal state, but they'll still put you in jail for murder around here.' No, they don't," Graham said before pointing to abortion as a form of murder. |
