Franklin Graham Leaves GOP, Question is Why Aren’t Other Christians?

Franklin Graham announced he’s left the Republican Party.

He said he cannot support any political party that deliberately funds, with government money, the dismembering of baby body parts and “selling” of fetal tissue. Graham has compared Planned Parenthood to Nazi doctors who also experimented on human beings.

Graham has previously mentioned that he has no faith in any political party and that Christians should run for office.

He announced on Facebook:

“This is an example of why I have resigned from the Republican Party and declared myself Independent. I have no hope in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or Tea Party to do what is best for America.

“Seeing and hearing Planned Parenthood talk nonchalantly about selling baby parts from aborted fetuses with utter disregard for human life is reminiscent of Joseph Mengele and the Nazi concentration camps! That should’ve been all that was needed to turn off the faucet for their funding.”

Graham pointed to need for spiritual renewal, and will be hosting prayer rallies in every state in 2016 to “challenge Christians to live out their faith at home, in public and at the ballot box.” The first rally will be held in Iowa in January before the nation’s first presidential primary.

If Graham has courageously called out and left a morally bankrupt Republican Party, why then are other Christian leaders not following his example? And why are any American Christians continuing to support a political party that funds an organization that sells human body parts?
