Google the man's name and his email CjoshuaV, and you end up on the far left side of the political spectrum, including DU and websites that advocate societaly "evolution to anarchy."
He's the subject of my blog today.

As someone who miscarried my first pregnancy, I can promise you that I was not indifferent. I examined every action and to look for something I could have done differntly.
The solace was/is that virtually every early pregnancy loss is due to genetic deformities rightly called "incompatible with life."
Which is worlds away from intentionally ending a life before birth because of money or relationship problems. And one reason - beides some pretty impressive poor-ness in my own history - that I fight abortion and try to make a difference with tangible help, crochet for the crisis pregnancy center, teaching abstinence in the schools, etc.

The reason they don't see the truth is because of a love of money.
For the love of money is a root of all evils, of which some having lusted after, they were seduced from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows, 1Tim.6:10
Also there is a defined link between organized crime and abortion clinics.

Both sides should get behind a "save the unborn" movement, if we all decided to end miscarriage, like we eradicated smallpox or polio. An estimated 1/4 to 1/3 of the preborns are aborted spontaneously..that's 1-2 million preborn babies a year! I have run into this absurd moral relative position many times -always from an abortion advocate attempting to turn reality on its head and by false premise insinuate apparent hypocrisy within the pro-life position...
It is real simple --abortion is intentional murder, miscarriage is not intentional murder - no, not even "spontaneous" abortion is intentional murder...

He believes in the death and resurrection of Jesus, so he's my brother and there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just have to love him and ask G_d to sort him out, while attempting to teach him the best I can.

He's a paid propagandist, and anti-Christian.

Even those of us who speak passionately about protecting the weak often forget that our willingness to purchase cheap goods produced by exploited workers sentences children to poverty, disease, violence and death. The cars that we drive, the food that we allow to be marketed to children, the tax breaks we support or oppose, they all have a life-or-death impact on the most vulnerable among us. It is not only in war that we make decisions to value one life over another. Consciously or not, we do it every time we go to the supermarket. This author is half-right. Abortion is not the end-all of "moral values," and Evangelical Christianity must develop a consistant ethic of respect for human life and dignity which includes the poor as much as the unborn. His solution, however - which seems to elevate socially-conscious economics over abortion is worse.

How else could we spend millions of dollars to oppose abortion --- despite no clear biblical argument for or against it --- and ignore the overwhelming number of biblical texts that explicitly command us to care for the poor? Try Genesis 9:6 for starters.

What an idiot. The Bible clearly says that man shall not kill innocent life. It also reveals that God is the author of life. Abortion is rebellion against God and murder. Funny, I just made another post about people opining on who God is. This guy makes it clear that he thinks God is whomever he wants god to be.

I can't think of a single culture in all of recorded history which long survived widespread infanticide.
There IS an Almighty God in His Heaven.
And HE DOES care about the affairs of men . . . especially regarding the defenseless and very especially regarding children.
