I agree, but ping to #3.

Your use of “he” should be subscribed.

I think you will find the Southern Baptists are far more pro life than the current Pope.

In a non-suicidal society, a woman who went about advocating tearing babies to pieces would be burned at the stake, without trial.

How can you say such a thing?!?! I distinctly heard the Pope say something about abortion in 2014!

Yes. It doesn’t sound any much better then cpusa— or rather pcusa , though

Do you know the first thing about reformed theology? That group in Scotland is Reformed about like John Paul II was Reformed. True Reformed Christians are a real minority in our country (Dr. R.C. Sproul recently estimated less than 2% of American evangelicals) but they are an even tinier minority in the UK.

I’ve never met a pro-choice Reformed Christian. Not one. Men from my congregation and Reformed men from other local congregations, Baptists and Presbyterians, send teams for sidewalk ministry in front of abortion clinics. We are working in conjunction with Reformed Christian men from all over the country in hopes of having teams in front of every baby murder facility in the land at all times. We also actively support crisis pregnancy centers with both resources and time. We are small but we are one of only two congregations in the entire country that financially supports a nondenominational home for drug addicted mothers that has proven very effective. It’s a 12 hour drive away, yet we feel such a commitment to life that we send teams of men every year to help do maintenance on the facility. There are Catholic churches all over that particular city that have never offered any help. For more than 25 years we have supported a ministry in a third world nation that includes providing the only obstetrician in the region. He gave up a lucrative American practice because of his Reformed faith. Reformed American ladies have become nurses so they could move there to help him.

Please don’t pretend the Reformed don’t stand up for life. If you believe that you don’t know the difference between the liberal and formerly Reformed congregations like PCUSA and the conservative life-affirming PCA or the many Reformed, or Sovereign Grace, Baptists. Just because you don’t know about all of the varied efforts to stand up for and fight for life doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Politics is only one piece of the puzzle. Many toil in the vineyard in obscurity.
