COLD SPRING - A Baptist church in Putnam County is under fire after posting a controversial, anti-abortion sign outside its building.
The sign outside the Church on the Hill in Cold Spring reads, "Defund Planned Parenthood... a person's a person no matter how small." The message went up a few days ago after videos surfaced suggesting that Planned Parenthood is selling fetal tissue.
Pastor Tim Greco put up the message himself. Speaking with News 12 via Skype, he says that he wanted the community to know where the church stands on the issue.
"I think the churches should stand up and point the finger at Planned Parenthood and called them what they are," Greco says. "They're butchers, murdering kids and selling them - that's despicable."

Planned Parenthood tells News 12, "Defunding Planned Parenthood would block millions of people from getting basic preventative health care including cancer screenings, birth control and well woman exams.""
I can't say it....after all this is the religion forum. You know I am thinking it.
Under fire from whom? What is the problem with a church honoring life and God? Then there is that pesky first amendment.
What a pantload. Why doesn't anyone of stature call them out on that bald faced lie?
Part of my response would be to state "if you stop killing babies you would have plenty of money for all that so called basic healthcare you claim to perform."
politics reflect the religious views of the people. They are inseparable.
Dear Church on the Hill......PLEASE use my TAGLINE!!! Abortion.....the HUMAN Sacrifice to the god of Convenience!!
12news is lying. The videos do not suggest that. Rather, the videos make it abundantly clear that this is what is happening.
Liars.
Fetal tissue? The videos make it clear that body parts are being sold.
Liars.
I can already hear the baby-killing commie ‘RATS. “Defunding PP will wreck da conomy!” I can also see Barry’s toads in his state run “media” bobbing their bobbleheads.
One can obtain “cancer screenings, birth control and well woman exams” from numerous places, all (theoretically at least) covered by Obamacare. If you want to kill your baby, the choice is PP. I Corinthians 5:13.
I am pretty sure this Okie could find a home in this NY church.

Disgusting sign based on ignorance. I feel especially bad for the women in the Town of Philipstown who come there to a special safe haven to have their children, get clean, and build new lives. What a horrific sign and message also so near a middle and high school where sexually active teens who need to protect themselves from AIDS, STDs and childbirth will clearly see a message of not knowing what Planned Parenthood is all about. The ignorance displayed is appalling!
too political my @ss! there are liberal churches that promote gay agenda and open borders. heck, al sharpton is rallying black churches to support the iran deal. is that political?
What I like is the fact increasing numbers of church pastors are arming themselves... this is going to be necessary as the left becomes more violent toward those who oppose them.
Church on the Hill Knows that! It’s the people in the rest of the town that needs to read your tagline!!!
**” Some Cold Spring residents say the message is too political for a religious institution. **
Nonsense.
Churches can always speak to issues. They just can’ endorse candidates.
Being against murdering babies is not political
Same thing I’m thinking.
That line is a steaming pile........
