NBA superstar Steph Curry, who has long touted his Christian creds and beliefs on and off the court, has said in an interview that he’s endorsing Kamala Harris for President specifically because she’ll defend abortion rights.
Curry has been relatively vocal about his supposed faith, particularly in episode five of the Facebook series, “Stephen vs. The Game.” Curry grew up in the church, attending youth group every Wednesday evening and Sunday morning services. His testimony has been featured frequently, such as Here and Here, and he once described his conversion to the faith when he was in grade eight, recounting:
“I felt a calling, went down to the altar, and gave my life to Christ. That became the beginning of my own personal journey….My faith is about the personal relationship, more so than following a certain religious tradition or practice. Challenges you to make sure that you are feeding your spirit with the right things versus what the world is throwing at us. It’s a constant battle, if I say I have it down, I’d be lying.”
In a recent interview, the Golden State Warrior star endorsed Kamala Harris for president, saying it’s important for him and his family to do it. When asked, “what are the issues you care about most?” he replied:
“I just know from especially women’s rights and thinking about, you know, what’s at stake with this election and understanding, like, we need to be in a position where women have the right to choose what’s right for them. And that’s at the top of the list for me. I have amazing women in my life who’ve been a huge inspiration to me.”
It’s a grotesque take from what sounds like a false convert. It’s one thing to be begrudgingly voting for Harris despite her bloodthirsty abortion stance, which doesn’t make any sense for a Christian to do but let’s go with it, but it’s another thing to vote for her precisely because of it. This is especially true considering Curry and his mom have been vocal in how she aborted what would have been his older brother, and she almost aborted him.
