Reverend Franklin Graham excoriated Democrat Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s claim that the “Bible is silent on abortion,” calling the statement an “absolute lie.” 

“Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico couldn’t be more wrong! The Bible is not silent on abortion as he claims — that’s an absolute lie. God commands us, ‘You shall not murder’ (Exodus 20:13). Abortion is taking a life — it is murder,” Graham said in a post to social media on Wednesday.
