Talarico Shows He’s As Ignorant About The Bible And Abortion As He Is About Texas

As Talarico demonstrated, long before he hit the Texas Senate campaign trail, caring about unborn babies and the Bible never really was his priority.

James Talarico knows his Texas as well as he knows his Bible, which is apparently not at all.

Less than one week after Talarico reappeared following a mysterious absence from the campaign trail and media due to what he claimed was a “nasty flu,” he appeared on a CNN and Jubilee town hall to Lone Star State voters about his faith and politics.

This “Change My Mind” was supposed to be an opportunity for Talarico to soothe his skeptics’ fears about his radicalism, including describing God as “nonbinary” and expressing love of “trans children.” Instead, it further proved that the “Christian who hates Christianity” has no business holding authority in church or state, specifically the U.S. Senate.

The biggest clincher of the night came when Jodi Hunt, a smiling “farmer and professor” from Burleson, Texas, asked Talarico to “convince me as a Catholic voter that I can trust you that you would protect the most innocent among us.” It’s a fair question, considering Talarico’s track record in the Texas House of repeatedly voting against pro-life protections, against resources for women and babies in crisis, and against prohibitions on unpopular taxpayer-funded abortion.

Instead of touting the theological truths that any biblical pastor and Christian cling to about the sanctity of life, however, Talarico opted to finger-wag Hunt about her biblical understanding of abortion.

“We may come to different moral and ethical conclusions when it comes to the question of should abortion be legal or not. It sounds like you and I do come to a different conclusion. That’s okay. We’re both Christians, and the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion. It means you and I both have to look at at different scriptures to try to come to a conclusion,” Talarico claimed.

This isn’t the first time Talarico has twisted the Word of God to accommodate his abortion extremism. He repeated the lie that the “Bible is silent on abortion” in May 2026 during his appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show. More notably, during his July 2025 interview with Joe Rogan, Talarico pretended there is “biblical evidence” for abortion, including parts of the Old Testament that include “some subtle instructions for how to perform an abortion in the ancient world.”

Talarico conceded to Hunt that some of his “spiritual heroes,” including Pope Francis and Pope Leo, “are consistently pro-life,” but continued on to paint abortion as a “public health problem and not a culture war problem.”

“What drives me crazy about this debate is we use it to kind of beat each other over the head, right? We treat it as a philosophical debate or a theological debate, when actually it’s a public policy problem,” Talarico said. “Because I also want to see fewer unplanned or unwanted pregnancies. I want to see fewer abortions, and so you and I actually have the same goal. We may have different moral conclusions when it comes to this particular ethical question, but we actually have the same public policy goal.”

The Democrat claimed the solution lies in “scientifically valid sex education, age-appropriate sex education,” “contraception,” and the eternally vague and euphemistic call to “make sure that everyone has health care.”

Hunt let Talarico finish his spiel, but she didn’t let the Democrat’s falsehoods go unrebuked.

“I just want to add that the Bible is not silent on abortion. There is the 10 Commandments: ‘Thou shalt not kill,’” Hunt began, spurred on by applause. “And as Catholics, we take great insult, I guess, sometimes when it’s described that way.”

Hunt also noted that Catholics like her see “contraception” and sex ed as “very trying” because “we believe the parents are the primary primary educator of our children.”

Not even Hunt’s gentle but firm correction of Talarico, however, could make him change course.

By all measures, Hunt teed up the Texas Senate candidate with an easy question that could have been easily answered. Hunt, in particular, should have been an easy voter to placate or at least not offend, since Talarico identified their common ground several times throughout the sitdown and later extended an offer to “grab coffee” or “do a podcast” together. --->READ MORE HERE
