Abortion Is Not A Poverty Issue

Pro-choice Christians view abortion as a “benefit” for the poor
In this article of our series Bringing Christians Home On Abortion we will address a common position taken by pro-choice Christian organizations. Their overwhelming concern for the poor is considered to be a far more important Christian issue than abortion.
The gospels do recount Jesus’ love for the poor and His admonitions to His followers to care for the poor. And all Christian denominations work to support the poor and to address the root causes of poverty.
But Our Lord was equally concerned for the dignity of the poor and, without doubt, the fate of their souls. As in “Man does not live by bread alone”.
Many, very well intentioned, pro-choice Christians have let themselves be led astray by the political argument that abortion is somehow a poverty issue. This “abortion benefits the poor” argument is, however, one which degrades women and families in poverty in the ugliest manner possible.

The Noble Cop Out

“Pro-life” Charlie Crist does not want “to impose my will on others”
Small wonder Florida Governor Charlie Crist finds himself a politician without a party. A man lacking principles, convictions and integrity rarely has much of a crowd around him.
Well known as a flip-flopper and double talker, Crist exemplifies the bottom of the barrel politician who muddles his/her position on abortion in hopes of deceiving voters on both sides of the issue. The types are well known. Democrats who are “pro-choice, but not pro-abortion.” Political flim flam. Voting for legislation that enables abortion is, of course, supporting abortion.
Even lower down the ladder however, are politicians like Charlie Crist who talk the pro-life talk in election years and then promptly walk the other way the following January. And the excuse is always the same. The Noble Cop Out. “I do not want to impose my will on others”.

The 2010 elections can be a critical turning point for America’s unborn
The spring 40 Days For Life Campaign begins on February 17. During last fall’s campaign the lives of 571 babies were known to have been saved. With pro-life sentiment escalating in America, even happier results are expected from this spring’s endeavor which will be conducted in 163 cities across America.
Undaunted by the opposition of the most pro-abortion administration in the history of Roe v Wade, the pro-life community continues to work tirelessly to the win the war against abortion One Baby At A Time. The percentage of children saved from the abortion mills each year, however, still remains small.
But the 2010 elections offer the opportunity to begin stemming the tide of abortion on demand in a truly significant way. Hundreds of thousands of children can be saved in the coming years through the initiation of another type of national pro-life campaign.
