The problem is that we’re preaching to ourselves. The pro-abortion crowd owns most of the big media, and the right-wing media rarely discusses abortion, they only talk about the economy or defense matters.

People have to see the pictures, hear the testimony, know what the heck is going on in this country. That’s how they became outraged about child labor, slavery, lynchings, Jim Crow laws, etc. By seeing and hearing it. But it’s such a vague, abstract issue to most people. It’s like discussing the dark side of the moon. Nobody cares.

Shamefully, churches don’t speak out on this issue nearly as much as they ought too, for fear of losing their tax-free status. I see churches give sermons on “going green” and nobody bats an eye, certainly not the people who watch churches like a hawk for any sign of “getting out of line.”

It was Christians who led so many social movements, but I don’t think we’re reaching our potential on this one. The Christians with a voice in the media need to be speaking the loudest.
