Just looking at the policies that secular leftists vote for, you can get a pretty good picture of what they consider moral. Abortion is good for secular leftists. Same-sex marriage is good for secular leftists, because children shouldn’t be raised by their biological parents. Infanticide is good for secular leftists. Selling the body parts of aborted babies is good for secular leftists. But that’s not all.
A former Planned Parenthood director suspected of child pornography crimes was found dead by suicide Tuesday in New Haven, Connecticut, according to local authorities.
The Blaze reports Tim Yergeau, 35, of New Haven, reportedly killed himself five days after police raided his apartment as part of a child pornography investigation.
Yergeau worked at the abortion chain for approximately four years from 2018 to 2022 as the director of strategic communications for Planned Parenthood of Southern New England. An Instagram profile that The Blaze identified as his shows numerous photos of his pro-abortion advocacy, including wearing a Planned Parenthood T-shirt and participating in pro-abortion events.
New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson told The Middletown Press that “the person who died was definitely the suspect in a child pornography investigation and the person who committed suicide.”
“It was an open investigation, so he knew he was going to be arrested,” Jacobson added.
[…]Police have not released details about the child pornography investigation yet. They said they are still investigating whether other individuals were involved.

LGBT Activists Supporting Planned Parenthood
The reason I linked to the LifeNews article, is because they talked about previous bad behavior from secular leftists who worked at Planned Parenthood:
This is not the first time a Planned Parenthood employee has been accused of sex-related crimes. Former Planned Parenthood abortionist Roger Ian Hardy was accused of sexually molesting several former patients and female staffers in 2016 before he fled the country.
The abortion chain also has a long history of ignoring or helping to cover up sexual abuse, especially involving underage girls.
Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood aborted more than 383,000 unborn babies in 2020, while bringing in more money than ever before: $1.714 billion income, aided in part by $633.4 million taxpayer dollars. Planned Parenthood’s political arm also donates huge amounts of money to electing Democrats to office.
Its patient numbers have been dropping steadily in recent years amid numerous reports of alleged unethical and illegal activities, including selling aborted baby body parts, botching abortions that killed women, covering up the sexual abuse of minors, exploiting young girls by selling cross-sex hormones and more.
Hundreds of its employees also have voiced racism complaints, including “systemic racism,” “abusive behavior and financial malfeasance.” Other employees have accused Planned Parenthood of pregnancy discrimination.
When you look at studies about what issues atheists are most supportive of, politically, abortion is right near the top. It is very important to atheists that they be allowed to engage in recreational premarital sex with people, then commit murder in order to get out of the consequences of their own actions. You can learn a lot about atheist moral character by looking at the things they vote for, and the things they celebrate. They voted for an infanticide supporter in Barack Obama. They vote for the same-sex marriage supporter (deprive children or their mother or father or both) in Joe Biden. This is what they believe – that adults, being strong, should be able to pursue pleasure at the expense of children, because they’re weak. Right now, you can see the secular left fighting to be able to make money off of sex-change drugs and surgeries for children with depression, autism, etc. They don’t care about the harm they’re causing, they just want to do what they want to do without moral boundaries and without being judged by Christians. That’s what secular leftism is all about. That’s the point of it.

This podcast is just amazing! This is what we need to be teaching in church. Church should be the place where you go to learn and reflect about how to tailor your life plan based on what the Bible says. And I think that this whole notion of free market – of choice and competition benefiting the consumer (parents) – applies to everything that government does, especially education and health care. The genius of America is that our Founding Fathers engineered a system that reflected all of this knowledge of economics, which then made it much easier for individuals and families to enjoy liberty and a higher quality of life. If we want to keep the benefits, we have to remember why these decisions were made at the founding of our nation.
I sometimes read articles from mainstream conservative pastors and theologians. One of these is the famous Doug Wilson who blogs at Blog and Mablog. Well, recently he was attacked by a secular left feminist named Sarah Stankorb. I looked over her recent articles, and a pattern emerged about what she – and the women she writes about – think that Christianity is about.
Here’s an article entitled “These Evangelical Women Are Abandoning Trump and Their Churches”.
She talks about a woman named Katie Loveland, who leaves her church for the following reasons:
If a church allows a man to act like a fool towards women, then Christianity is false.
If a church allows a man who has passed a background check and holds a concealed carry permit to be armed so he can protect church members from attacks like this one, then Christianity is false.
And another woman named Elaina Ramsey, and her reasons for rejecting Christianity:
If Christianity requires you to disagree with your gay and queer friends, then Christianity is false.
If Christians refuse to marry you because you’ve been raped, then Christianity is false.
If the Bible records (and condemns) the rape of Bathsheba by David, then Christianity is false.
If Christianity teaches that murdering humans is wrong, and science says that the unborn are human, then Christianity is false.
And more about another woman named Deirdre Sugiuchi, and her reasons for rejecting Christianity:
If your father claims to be a Christian and spanks you, then Christianity is false.
If you are sent to an abusive Christian reform school for being rebellious, then Christianity is false.
If Christianity feels anti-gay, anti-black or anti-woman, then Christianity is false.
If the United States opposes Al Qaeda for carrying out the 9/11 attack, then Christianity is false.
Are you seeing a pattern here?
It turns out that a lot of emotion-based people claimed to be Christians and were accepted as “Christian”, without any rational basis for believing it. And later on, when Christianity made them feel bad about being reckless and irresponsible, or when it loses them non-Christian friends, then they abandoned it. It’s not that they discovered that Christianity is illogical. It’s not that they discovered evidence to falsify Christian truth claims. Their stated reasons for leaving Christianity are entirely subjective. And none of the reasons do the work of falsifying core Christian truth claims, such as God’s existence, the inspiration of the Bible, or the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus.
Just to review, here are some of the reasons why authentic Christians believe in Christian theism:
scientific evidence for the origin of the universe
scientific evidence for cosmic fine-tuning
scientific evidence for the origin of life
scientific evidence for habitability
scientific evidence for sudden origin of body plans
scientific evidence for molecular machines
scientific evidence for irreducible complexity
the argument from consciousness
the argument from objective morality
the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus
These arguments – and many more like them – are defended by scholars in books published by top academic presses. But I see no evidence that emotion-based ex-Christians have ever read such books. Why would they? They aren’t interested in forming their worldview based on objective reality. They aren’t interested in constructing a life plan where their desire for happiness comes second to following Jesus.
People who abandon Christianity because of feelings or experiences have not “left Christianity”. They just stopped faking being Christians. They were never actually Christian in the first place. To be a Christian in the first place, you have to know that Christianity is true. People who accept the arguments for Christianity listed above have just as many disappointments with God, bad experiences with Christians, and bad experiences with churches as people who were guided by their emotions and experiences.
In fact, I personally know women who grew up fatherless, or had defective parents, or other setbacks. They got themselves into a lot of trouble with churches and immoral men, and yet today, not only are they solid Christians, but they actually take the lead in gospel enterprises, such as apologetics. Why? Because for them, the objective truth of Christianity was more important than their subjective feelings and experiences.
The differences between Christians and non-Christians is that Christians overlook bad feelings, shame and rejection, because we know facts don’t care about our feelings. For real Christians, the normal Christian life requires bad feelings, disappointments, bad experiences and rejection by non-Christians. We actually read the Bible, and so we expect bad things to happen to us.
Note: if you are relying on someone to act in a Christian way – say, as a marriage partner – then you’d better find out what kind of “Christian” they are, by asking them how they arrived at their beliefs. Do not marry a fake Christian who just reads romance novels and fiction. A person can’t determine the truth of Christianity by focusing on career, travel, entertainment, promiscuity, etc.
