Michigan Republicans enlist extremist who opposed abortion for rape victims because "God put them in this moment"

Michigan Republicans have been featuring extremist commentator Garrett Soldano as a speaker at numerous campaign events.

Soldano has stated that he opposes abortion for rape victims because “God put them in this moment.” He has also referred to abortion as a “get out of jail free card,” said that he opposes Plan B, called on his followers to form militias, and suggested that the “deep state” is going to stage “false flag” events in the coming months.

Soldano is a right-wing commentator who streams online and hosts a podcast. In 2022, he unsuccessfully ran for governor, losing during the primary. He gained notoriety in Michigan during the pandemic when he formed a group opposing COVID-19 safety measures.

Michigan Republicans have been featuring Soldano as a campaign speaker in recent months.

Do we leave an important decision about rape victims to Donald Trump, the rapist?

Doesn’t that mean god put all the people in jail in that moment? Doesn’t it mean all the immigrants were put in this moment to come here?

I was taught that God knows all; past, present, and future.

So God knew what S/L was going to do when he created Satan/Lucifer.

All evil done by S/L/whomever was pre-approved by God.

God has been known to change men's hearts and has been given credit for doing so.

Unless one believes that Satan is more powerful than God.

------------------------------------------
You do not have to believe him if you do not believe in an all-knowing, all-powerful, omnipotent God.

That means that God has also approved every abortion done.
