Bringing Christians Home On Abortion
May 1, 2010
The 2010 elections can be a critical turning point for America’s unborn
The spring 40 Days For Life Campaign concluded on March 28. During this campaign the lives of 532 babies were known to have been saved as the result of prayer vigils and counseling outreach sessions conducted by campaign volunteers outside abortion clinics. As in previous 40 Day Campaigns, several abortion clinic employees quit their jobs, and one abortion facility closed permanently.
With pro-life sentiment escalating in America, even happier results are expected from this fall”s endeavor. Undaunted by the opposition of the most pro-abortion White House and congress 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. Every precious life preserved is a victory.
Sadly, the percentage of children saved each year from the vacuums, surgical shears and poisons of the nation’s abortion mills remains small. Approximately one million American children will still be put to death this year, in some of the most barbarous manners imaginable. And 90% of those abortions will be performed strictly for convenience sake.
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. Bringing Christians Home On Abortion.
Despite the non-stop vitriol from hard core feminist groups, Christianity is not a cohesive force threatening “abortion rights” in America. Would that we were.
OMSNBC: Christians are “moving beyond abortion”
In 2008, 53% of voters who described themselves as Christian voted for pro-abortion zealot Barack Obama. Breaking that percentage down, 75% of “non-denominational Christians” supported Mr Obama, followed by 54% of Catholic voters, 44% of non-evangelical Protestants and 26% of Evangelicals.
The Catholic and Evangelical numbers were especially disappointing. The progressive vultures at OMSNBC crowed that 2008 was proof that the “next generation” of Catholics and Evangelicals were “moving beyond abortion” and were more concerned about issues like the environment.
But, as in The Lord Works In Mysterious Ways, it is precisely President Obama’s ruthless pro-abortion agenda that has focused the nation’s attention on abortion as never before. And that focus is leading more and more Americans to stop and rethink their position on abortion. The majority of Americans now consider themselves to be pro-life. Women, especially, are beginning to realize that they have been misled by the democratic party, and it’s patrons in Abortion Incorporated, over the horrible realities of what actually happens during an abortion and the physical and emotional damage suffered by many women who have undergone abortions.
The November elections are likely to be a Waterloo for the liberal progressive agenda. And is it is imperative that we bring as many Christians home on abortion as we possibly can for these elections.
Bringing Christians home on abortion
Abortion has been sold to America as just about anything except what it really is. The taking of a child’s life. The truth of abortion has been clouded by radical feminists and the abortion industry by successfully classifying abortion as a “political issue”. Politicizing abortion has served the dual purpose of 1) equating abortion with mundane subjects such as taxes and spending in the minds of the American people, and 2) attempting to intimidate religious leaders and organizations on the grounds of the non-existent principle of “separation of church and state”.
Carefully crafted euphemisms such as “Family Planning” and “Reproductive Rights” have been incorporated into the American lexicon in order to ease the collective conscience of our country. Even the most committed pro-abortion radicals avoid using the word abortion. Rachel Maddow on OMSNBC is especially fun to watch as she twists grammar into pretzels, substituting almost any word or phrase she can muster to euphemize the “A” word. “Medical procedure”, “legal procedure”, “routine procedure”, “reproductive procedure”, “common medical procedure” and the all encompassing “completely safe and legal medical procedure”.
Like so much of America, many “pro-choice Christians” have simply been misled on abortion. Our Radiant Cross Right To Life blog will be posting a series of articles over the next weeks which will lay bare the euphemisms, dispel the distortions and expose the outright lies foisted upon our country by abortion ideologues and profiteers.
This year can be a major turning point in the fight against Roe v Wade. Even within those Christian denominations that currently support “abortion rights”, or take no official position on abortion, there are pro-life groups or ministries. It is our hope that those groups will work to bring the truth of abortion to their fellow parishioners during the course of this year. Another Supreme Court vacancy is likely within the next six to twelve months, so this year’s senate elections are of critical importance to fate of millions of future American children.
We will not be able to change the heart of every pro-choice Christian in eight months. But imagine if we could convert just 10% of those Christian voter statistics listed above into votes for pro-life candidates in November. It is more than possible if we are willing to confront our misled Christian brothers and sisters with the truth on abortion.
It may seem daunting, but your efforts will be supported by thousands of members of the pro-life community who pray daily for Christians who have gone astray to come home on abortion and stand in defense of Jesus’ “little ones”.
“See that you don’t look down on one of these little ones, because I tell you that in heaven their angels continually view the face of My Father in heaven.” (Matthew 18:10)
