Many years ago, while participating in an Operation Rescue sit-in at an abortion clinic near Washington, D.C., I was struck by the make-up of the pro-abortion protesters. They were largely a mix of atheists, Satanists and gays, and they proudly identified as such. What a coalition!
I remember asking myself, “Why would homosexuals be so adamant about this — adamant enough to show up early in the morning to protest our event — when, for the most part, it’s not relevant to their lives, since they’re not having babies?”
To this day, colleagues of mine who share the gospel outside abortion clinics and offer pro-life alternatives are accosted by this same unholy coalition, often led by aggressive LGBT protesters. Why?
Just this week, after I posted some pro-life tweets in the aftermath of the final presidential debate, the two men who immediately challenged my views were a gay pastor and a Satanist.
Was this just a coincidence? I think not.
I had tweeted, “I urge every Hillary supporter to take time to study late term abortion. She aggressively supports this barbarism. Don’t be partner to it.”
Follow Dr. Michael L. Brown @DrMichaelLBrown I urge every Hillary supporter to take time to study late term abortion. She aggressively supports this barbarism. Don't be partner to it. 5:37 AM - 20 Oct 2016 202 202 Retweets 234 234 likes The gay pastor argued that, while not being pro-abortion himself, late-term abortions were only done for the life and health of the mother.
The problem with that, of course, is twofold; First, it does not reduce the barbarity of the procedure; second, “the life and health of the mother” can be twisted to mean almost anything, allowing late-term abortions for things like alleged “mental duress.”
So, this gay pastor’s defense of this horrific procedure was baseless. But it was not surprising, given the moral compromise he already lives in as a practicing homosexual who pastors a “gay-affirming” church.
In similar fashion, Harry Knox, a prominent gay activist, moved from leading the religion branch of the Human Rights Campaign to heading up the Religious Coalition on Reproductive Choice. No surprise!
As for the Satanist, he was more direct in his tweets, using mild profanity in attacking me before affirming a woman’s right to choose. This too was no surprise.
Now, I’m fully aware that many women agonize over their decisions to abort and that some of the decisions are gut wrenching and heartbreaking, perhaps even more so with late-term abortions.
Dr. George Tiller, who was murdered by a demented pro-life activist, actually performed baptisms on some of the aborted babies, dressing them up and joining together with the families in what must surely have been one of the most perverted and macabre religious scenes imaginable. He even gave the babies funerals.
Kill the baby, baptize the baby, bury the baby. How sick!
But this leads me back to the question of why, undoubtedly, the vast majority of Satanists, atheists and gays are pro-abortion.
I’m sure that there are, in fact, pro-life atheists and gays, although they must be a small minority in their communities. And I seriously doubt that there are many (or even any?) pro-life Satanists.
So, the question again is: Why?
The Anti-Life I believe the answer is primarily twofold: First, these people reject biblical morality; second, these people reject the God of life.
As for the first point, it’s obvious that most of these pro-abortionists would not be moved by a scriptural presentation of the pro-life position. It would either be rejected with scorn, as in, “Who cares what your dumb book says?” Or, in the case of those who profess some kind of biblical faith (like the aforementioned gay pastor), it would be met with a reinterpretation of the clear biblical witness, just as other passages must be reinterpreted in order to justify the sinful practices in their lives.
As for the second point, just ask yourself, on average, who has bigger families, Bible-affirming Christians (and Jews who affirm the Hebrew Scriptures), or atheists, Satanists and gays? Who puts more emphasis on babies and children? Who opposes euthanasia more vigorously?
You see, the battle over abortion is not merely a social and political battle. It is also a spiritual battle, which is why I will flatly and unashamedly rebuke professing Christians — especially fellow-leaders — who are strongly “pro-choice.” In reality, they are anti-life.
By all means, let us address holistically the many problems surrounding abortion — including problems of poverty, education, childcare, adoption, family structure, sexual abuse and more — and let us truly be pro-life, from conception until old age and death.
But let us not join together with the forces of darkness that promote abortion on demand until the last day of pregnancy. To do so is to join forces with a coalition from hell. And you can quote me on that.
Also, if they concede anything as morally right or wrong much of their liberal moral relativism collapses.
So true.
Pope Benedict said that relative morality is the worst scourge of this century.

I agree of course as relative morality lets folks be their own "god." Someday there will be a reckoning for all those baby killers and their supporters.
“...I think it’s because both the pro-abortion movement and the homosexual agenda are devoted to divorcing procreation and life-giving from the sexual act.”
Any given group that accepts abortion and homosexual acts invariably accepts these things only after the acceptance of bc within marriage, right? No group ever seems to skip over acceptance of bc within marriage and jump right into female clergy or ‘gay marriage’ or abortion or whatever, at least that I have observed. There is probably a reason for that. Not many want to think about this.
