It is really upsetting that top Democrats across the country are refusing to denounce Planned Parenthood’s abortion business, especially after the recent video showing their top doctor, Deborah Nutatola, discussing their negotiations with a business called Stem Express that purchases aborted babies’ body parts for experimentation.
However, what’s even more upsetting and quite frankly unimaginable is Christians standing with Planned Parenthood.
In an article posted on July 20th, writer Dan Wilkinson says he still supports the abortion giant even though he is a Christian . In summary, his reasoning is that there is nothing wrong with “donating” fetal “tissue” for medical research and Planned Parenthood shouldn’t have to apologize for the tone of Dr. Nutalola because most medical professionals talk in matter-of fact terms.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
Additionally, he argues that Planned Parenthood helps women all over the country and God never condemned abortion in the Bible directly.
Here are a few paragraphs from his article:
Let’s be honest, Planned Parenthood isn’t the abortion mill that the far right would have us believe it is. The services they provide are far broader and far more important. They provide crucial medical care to an often desperately underserved population, and devote far more resources toward preventing pregnancies than to terminating them. As a comprehensive provider of reproductive and sexual healthcare — especially to female, minority, and underprivileged populations — we need more of Planned Parenthood, not less.
I realize that in most Christian circles anything less than complete opposition to abortion is anathema. But given the theological, philosophical and scientific ambiguities surrounding the issue, I find such absolutism untenable. I don’t want anyone to ever be in the position where they’re considering abortion, but I also don’t want to deny them that option. I’m not God and, despite what many Christians claim, God doesn’t seem to have said anything that’s directly relevant to this topic.
Wilkinson needs to review Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report, which reveals that they performed 327,654 abortions in 2013 and abortion accounted for 94% of their services to pregnant women. In fact, while they were making big bucks on abortion there other services like contraception and cancer screenings dropped significantly.
Secondly, Wilkinson should read up on Planned Parenthood’s founder to get a good picture of what their organization really believes about minority populations and the poor. In Margaret Sanger’s book, “Pivot of Civilization” she describes African-Americans, and immigrants as “human weeds,” “reckless breeders,” and “spawning… human beings who never should have been born.”
Then in “Woman and the New Race” Sanger argues that because the conditions of large families tend to involve poverty and illness, it is better for everyone involved if a child’s life is snuffed out before he or she has a chance to pose difficulties to its family. She writes, “[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must Investigate Planned Parenthood for Selling Aborted Baby Parts
Finally, Wilkinson should review God’s view on human life, which is outlined consistently in both the Old and New Testament (Matthew 18:10, Jeremiah 1:5, Exodus 21:22-23, Psalm 139:13-15). Although Wilkinson is correct to say that God doesn’t mention abortion directly, He clearly opposes killing innocent children and reveals to the world that he formed unborn life. In Genesis, for example, we learn that God made mankind in his image, and in Psalms and Jeremiah that God “knits together” and knows unborn life.
Of course, there are countless scriptures in the Bible that affirm the sanctity of life and clearly Wilson is ignoring them to conclude that God’s okay with Planned Parenthood’s business. Thankfully, however, most Christians would agree that Dr. Nucatola’s admissions were horrific and that Planned Parenthood shouldn’t be selling fetal body parts for research.
These are the real wolves in sheep’s clothing. They do more damage to Christians than open atheists like Richard Dawkins, since they lure spiritually immature Christians with their vaguely Christian rhetoric only to preach them a “Gospel” that is not the Truth.
In the end, God will decide if he was a Christian.
Exactly!
Dan claims to be a Christian writer but he clearly has no understanding of the text which defines Christianity.
The argument that abortion isn’t specifically mentioned in the Bible may be true in the strictest sense, but we’re left with no doubt that God considers life as beginning at conception. This is repeated over and over in the Bible and not at all difficult to understand.
We read repeatedly that human life is created in the womb well before delivery from the womb. Below are just a few of many verses describing this truth.
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. Ps 139:13
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. Ecc 11:5
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth all alone, Is 44:24
Jeremiah then makes clear that what the Lord is weaving together in the womb is in fact living. Life is in the womb, or else it would be impossible to be killed in the womb as Jeremiah describes with the womb becoming in effect the grave of the preborn child.
because he did not kill me in the womb; so my mother would have been my grave Jer 20:17a
Dan would be more correctly defined as an apostate writer.
What's so hard to understand about that ?
I havent been able to locate any photos of the revrunt....as yet..
he more or less refers to the death of an infant as invasive medical procedure? WHAT A GENIUS
give this man a No Bell Prize!!
Im offering a prize to any freeper who can locate a verifiable photo of this jackass.... so I can get him a job as a Panther Whizz Spokesman
FIFY, LifeNews.
Unfortunately, thanks to LifeNews and FR, he’s a tiny bit more known.
#BindersFullofInfants
No — they get baby parts from “a woman’s body”.
Gee, did *you* know that women spontaneously generated spare miniature lungs, hearts, and livers?
See post 19
Thats the one. Thanks
Thanks to LifeNews and FR we know this man is poising the minds of would be Christians.
Come on you guys. You know he’s fake, I know he’s fake, but to the left he’s priceless and to Christians who don’t know any better he’s a person sending them to hell. Someone has to out him and who better than me?
he sure is a smug schmuck!!!
Michael Sonmore acts like he is the first to engage in an open relationships. History shows, the majority of the time open relationships are unsustainable and often end with tragic consequences. I wish them luck, and they both will need it.
My initial reaction was that they were referring to David Wilkerson (author of The Cross & the Switchblade).
