topher, you've been around here for quite a while (and I've "seen" you before) and so you deserve some respect. But like others on this thread, I am surprised by your assertion.
I am not saying it is false, and will have to reconsider a lot if it is true, but if you could direct me (if nobody else) to support for the assertion, it would help.
Here is what I found on their website (not sure the link will work):
AbortionThe Salvation Army believes in the sanctity of all human life and considers each person to be of infinite value and each life a gift from God to be cherished, nurtured and redeemed. Human life is sacred because it is made in the image of God and has an eternal destiny. (Genesis 1:27) Sacredness is not conferred, nor can it be taken away by human agreement.
The Salvation Army deplores society's ready acceptance of abortion, which reflects insufficient concern for vulnerable persons, including the unborn. (Psalms 82:3-4)
The Salvation Army holds to the Christian ideals of chastity before marriage and fidelity within the marriage relationship and, consistent with these ideals, supports measures to prevent crisis pregnancies. It is opposed to abortion as a means of birth control, family planning, sex selection or for any reason of mere convenience to avoid the responsibility for conception. Therefore, when an unwanted pregnancy occurs, The Salvation Army advises that the situation be accepted and that the pregnancy be carried to term, and offers supportive help and assistance with planning.
The Salvation Army recognizes tragic and perplexing circumstances that require difficult decisions regarding a pregnancy. Such decisions should be made only after prayerful and thoughtful consideration, with appropriate involvement of the woman's family and pastoral, medical and other counsel. A woman in these circumstances needs acceptance, love and compassion.
When an abortion has taken place, The Salvation Army will continue to show love and compassion and to offer its services and fellowship to those involved.
The Salvation Army was named in that article. I probably should have read the article more closely.
But The Salvation Army is in the Dishonorable Charities Section.
There is a link in that article to another article where Salvation Army officials talk about cases that abortion is considered okay.
My confusion comes from seeing The Salvation Army named in an article that lists corporations (such as eBay) that contributes to Planned Parenthood.
In Posts between #55 and this one, I have posted links to the articles from LifeSiteNews.com and from FightPP.org
I would like to see some follow up on this by The Salvation Army and various Pro-Life groups to either say that The Salvation Army is a charity that opposes abortion.
Why a group such as FightPP.org (Fight Planned Parenthood.org) would have such a document about the Salvation Army is unclear. It is on page 8 of the article, but having a Salvation Army official say that abortion is okay because of deformity is something I have a problem with.
Not much point in showing "love and compassion" when the unrepentant person is going to hell.
Thank you.
