Gentle reminder that Jesus was an immigrant, whose parents had to run from their own land in a quality alike to modern refugees. Gentle reminder that Jesus helped the poor and unfortunate and despised the greedy and miser, “It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God”. And let’s not forget the cleansing of the temple.
He protected women and rightfully blamed men for their own sins, even going as far as to tell them “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. (…) And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away”.
He didn’t ever speak of abortion, but on Exodus 21 it’s stated that “If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise”. Which shows us a woman is to be valued over that which she carries, for the loss of the fetus would be compensated with as little as a fine, but the life of the woman merited as high a penalty as life for life.
Anything else Christians use to justify their anti-abortion posture is taken out of context (seriously, they use verses like Genesis 9:6: “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image”, as if it wasn’t very obviously speaking about murder among adult men. Or verses such as Exodus 23:7b: “Do not kill the innocent and righteous”, which, to be applied to abortion, requires us to understand an unborn fetus as “innocent and righteous”.
So no, he definitely wouldn’t agree with nazis. Nor with American Conservatives.

Words from The Invention of Love by Tom Stoppard
Also btw trump recognizing only "the two biological sexes" harms intersex people too. I am a researcher of sex and it's affects on disease, and sex is far more complicated than "two sexes" and it always will be. Sex is multifaceted and there are far more than two binary sexes. Keep that in mind too. Don't fall into bioessentialism as you fight for trans people and intersex people.
