California Gov. Gavin Newsom is being slammed for quoting Scripture in abortion ads he’s running in several states.
The progressive governor shared images of the multi-state billboard campaign on Twitter, enticing women in states that restrict abortion to come to California for one. But in the Texas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi versions of the ads, there’s a quote from Mark 12:31, where Jesus says, "Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these."
NEW: Just launched billboards in 7 of the most restrictive anti-abortion states that explain how women can access care--no matter where they live.

To any woman seeking an abortion in these anti-freedom states: CA will defend your right to make decisions about your own health.
@tatereeves the people of Mississippi deserve to know they have access to the care you are refusing to provide. This will be launching in your state today. pic.twitter.com/8qg7psYT2j

While progressives praised the ads, they were blasted by Christians.
This is satanic. https://t.co/HwMVZuVzjw

Newsom did say he'd "fight like hell" for abortion.

Guess it's no surprise that, just like Satan, he's now quoting scripture to promote killing unborn babies. https://t.co/arxmUV4Bfk
"Good Catholic" @GavinNewsom is now using Bible scriptures to encourage women to come to California to abort their babies. A truly shameful display.

Meanwhile, in CA crime continues to skyrocket, the cost of living is out of control, and the state can't even keep the lights on. https://t.co/lfpuGRSwDG
