That blog was disturbing. One of our B4L teams (from Detroit IHOPE) covers the Eastpoint clinic that they talked about. Please pray that we can continue mobilizing teams to cover all of them around the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan. This has to stop.

I watched that trailer for that movie and I balled, when at the end of it, the woman was crying and saying “I’m sorry baby….” All I could think about is my baby, and the realization the mother has after they have gone through with the henious thing. It just came so real to me. My heart was moved for the pain and torment that is left on these womans soul’s after having believed this lie. Nothing good comes of it; not for the mother, and certianly not for the baby.

Yes that is a link people should see… Though it made me physically sick. I’m not into sensationalizing this debate with graphic images. But the truth needs to be felt that abortion clinics are throwing away fetuses, that are almost developed.

It’s a grave ordeal that has nothing to do with woman’s rights, but the rights of children that are being revoked. The right to live.

Bret and Eli, I think you nailed it. I think that is what has to happen. I have been helping a number of different couples raise funds in order to adopt un-wanted babies, and I want to see that initiative grow.

That would indeed be a message for the Prosperity gospel preachers who are pro life. If the prosperity we receive is from the Lord, then it should be used not to make us rich but to preach the gospel with the giving of our finances. The love of Christ should not just be seen in the faces of believers but in the actions.

I’m uncertain what a call to this would look like, but I agree that it must be a priority.

I wonder what would happen if the church raised the money (it would take billions) and made the commitment to take and raise every unwanted baby. Not only would it change the debate about abortion (we would be putting our money and our lives where our mouth is) it would also create a whole generation raised in Christian homes.

I think, to add to all of this, that the church needs to envision an adoption initiative. If we stop killing babies by the hundreds of thousands, only to sit back and watch them languish in the foster system or get placed in same-sex parent homes, have we really answered God’s heart cry?

The reality is that just as the abortion scourge flows from a culture-of-convenience, the apathy towards adoption flows from our culture-of-comfort.

Zack,
Keep up the good work. It is sad just how silent the church is on abortion. Your posts on this topic have spurred me on to taking more action and getting more vocal. I have posted on it at http://www.TransformedDaily.com, but I am also approaching people with the challenge that they will be judged for the vote they cast in November. Voting for a candidate who we know is pro-abortion is a vote in favor of the heinous act of abortion. It is really that simple.
