First error.

I would want to be clear that Christianity has a diversity of voices

Second error. Christianity has one voice, the voice of God, to whose will we are all to be subject.

pro-life advocates have “corrupted” Christians, especially evangelicals, into thinking abortions are wrong

Third error. Christianity has always said abortion was wrong; moreover, the Hippocratic Oath, which predates Christianity, says abortion is wrong.

I’ll take “pro-birth” over “pro-death” any day.

"I would want to be clear that Christianity has a diversity of voices."

No it doesn't.. Christianity is about Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and he speaks with one voice. If you don't like his message, then maybe you should consider other options..

This is why the Methodist church is no longer considered a Christian Church. Sme with the Episcopal Church.

This is what you get out of an admitted “progressive” Methodist female “pastor”. Her job is to make people happy as they go to hell.

Hey, the Army of Satan is not adverse to possessing alleged ministers of the Gospel.

Our pastor gave a sermon awhile back. He said the idea of “when does life begin” is not a question among scientists or doctors - it begins at conception.

The real question when it comes to abortion is when does that life have a soul. The Bible (OT and NT) is clear that the soul (or spirit, small s) is also established at conception.

He said that Christianity is the only religion that has that belief! I found that hard to believe so I did just a tiny bit of research. IIRC I only looked at Hindu, Buddhist and Islam - but they all had the soul entering the person at various weeks/months after conception. And IIRC, in Islam there were a couple of different times depending on which verse was used.

That’s nothing but logical fallacies from beginning to end.

1) She’s claiming not helping someone is the same as murdering someone, which is clearly false. This is a false equivalence fallacy.

2) She’s giving us a false choice, we can support policies she supports, or you can do nothing, and not helping gets us back to her first fallacy.

Abortion is the murder of innocent little preborn babies.
