If you are a member of one of these “churches” or organizations, please be aware that you are a member of a pro-abortion organization. I post this because there seem to be many of us who are unaware of what our “church” leaders have done over the years.

If you are a member of one of these "churches" or organizations, I would urge you to leave them immediately and let them know exactly why you are leaving.

"not recognized by the Catholic Church" is an understatement! "Catholics for Free Choice" is one non-practicing, excommunicated woman and her fax machine, funded by several anti-Catholic organizations.

You're welcome. Although not an article per se, I hope that many posters will find this to be valuable information.

Was this organization formerly known as "Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights" (RCAR)? If so, they probably changed the name to make it more "appealing."

24 out of the 38 aren't even nominally Christian.

Yep. On the one hand, I want to see Frances Kissling excommunicated (there is no question whatsoever that she has earned it), but on the other hand I don’t want to see her get the free publicity and the appearances that would surely come on every “news” outline in the country.

Looks like many of these religious groups are also members of the National Council of Churches  who vilify Christopher Columbus

Sorta interesting ECLA isn't on the list... yet.

That leaves the "Pro-Choice" "churches" as being ECUSA, United Church of Christ, United Methodists and the PCUSA. Listing the Ethical Culture movement as a religion is, of course, a brilliant slap on the face, since they are atheists, are they not?

There is no need to formally excommunicate Kissling. If she has not had an abortion herself, she definitely has paid for them and "escorted" children to their deaths, so she falls under the definition of a procurer of abortion and is therefore excommunicate.

Yes, they were previously known as "Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights." And, like you, I have long suspected that they changed their name for that very reason.

American Baptists and National Baptists sure are pro-choice, though! The issue is that such organizational statements of politics are deemed by American Baptists and National Baptists to be contrary to the Baptist view of the structure of churches. They'll even bitch that the Southern Baptists have become Papist because the SBC is so powerful.

...not that I would consider that offensive :^).

Kudos to Southern Baptists for being so strongly anti-abortion nowadays!

Mainline Denominations Among Endorsers of Sunday's Pro-Abortion March
Backers Include ECUSA, PC(USA), UMC; Also, Anti-Bush Crowd Invited to Be There

By Jody Brown and Bill Fancher
April 23, 2004

(AgapePress) - Sunday's pro-abortion "March for Women's Lives" may not generate the huge crowds its organizers and the mainstream media are predicting. Several pro-life groups are saying that's because support for abortion is on the decline. Perhaps someone should share that information with several mainline denominations who are aligned with the abortion-rights movement.

What do the American Civil Liberties Union, the Episcopal Church USA, Planned Parenthood of America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the National Organization for Women, and the United Methodist Board of Church and Society all have in common? Answer: Each is either an organizer or an endorser of Sunday's pro-abortion rights "March for Women's Lives" in Washington, DC.

funded by several anti-Catholic organizations.

I believe I saw an article stating that Frances gets a significant amount of money from the Ford Foundation.

Wonder when we stop calling the sell-out churches "Mainline?" I bet a lot of us wonder why they should be the official face of Christianity.

Don't mean to be snooty, but I think once you compromise the teachings as far as some of these churches have, I don't know what else to call them but sell-out.

Better not let that get out or we will end up with a handful of unbelieving misfits calling themselves Baptists for Reproductive Rights.

And guess who the MSM will then turn to for the "Baptist" perspective.

I agree 110% !!! I think the problem is the same with the so-called "MSM" and the MSM leads the way with the "churches" as well. The MSM calls these pro-abort "churches" "mainline" in order to give them a legitimacy that they do not deserve. A "church" that is pro-abort is not in anyway "mainline" in the Christian world. Another assault on us by the "MSM."
