“”It is hard to imagine that anyone who is truly born of the Spirit of God (born again) could kill their own child.”

That’s my take on it also, brother.
Just last Saturday we got: “hey, we’re Christians, we go to church - so go F*** yourselves” - from a young couple going in.

“By their fruits you will know them”. :

This issue of “Christians having abortions” has come up time and time again. I keep posting these stories and FReepers keep not believe them.

You have seen the stories I have posted about pro choice ministers. About ministers working at abortion clinics. About people who claim they “know Jesus” coming out of an abortion clinic how many do I need to post before you realize what is going on?

The problem here is that all of you don’t know scripture and abortion but that your fellow Christians don’t!

Folks there are people in YOUR churches having abortions! Did I shock you? I hope I did because you need to quit the finger pointing and ask “what can I do about this?”

Under stand that what they have done can be forgiven yes! However your pastor/priest/minister needs to be preaching before hand that this is a SIN!! Do you all have any idea how many churches I meet and when I ask “are you pro life” they tell me “yes but our minister does not preach on political issues”. FReepers if YOUR minister/preacher/priest is saying that, you get a new one! Do you hear me?

If you or a woman in your church has had an abortion you need to ask God for forgive you. If you are Catholic that means you need to go to confession. You also may need some place like Rachael Vinyard for healing. If you or someone in your church encouraged/forced a woman to have an abortion you too need to ask God to forgive you/take confession.

Does your church have flyers for crisis pregnancy centers located in your area? (if there are any?) Does your church have any flyers for post abortion counseling centers? Does your church actively protest the local abortion mill or participate in the Life Walk? Does your church do anything for the pro life movement??

While I’m on this rant, I want to give a shout out to Colofornian for suggesting that book by George Grant: “Grand Illusions The Legacy of Planned Parenthood”. Dude I’m on chapter 2 but my mind is blown. FReepers, GET THAT BOOK! I got one for myself and my churches’ library.

Now make sure your church is a pro life church.

I don't know that any church I've been in when abortion is mentioned that it isn't clearly stated as being sin.

Don't presume that it's the churches of those Christians on this board. Maybe it is some churches in the mainline denominations that don't take the word of God seriously any more. The ones which teach that Scripture is just analogy etc. The liberal mainline ones are not the ones that are represented here on the Forum.

I’m still trying to figure out why Catholics seem to think that the Catholic church is the only church taking a stand against abortion.

What makes Catholics think that other non-Catholic churches DON’T actively protests abortion clinics? That they DON’T advise or counsel women to go to crisis pregnancy centers? That they don’t support them? That they don’t work at them?

One pastor who was pastoring a church I attended for a while spent time in jail because of his involvement in Operation Rescue. Catholics need to get off their elitist high horse and quit acting like they’re the only ones opposing abortion.

The holier-than-thou attitude of Catholics when it comes to the abortion issue because they think they’re the only ones doing it, is not warranted in the least and it’s a slap in the face of all the wonderful, passionate NON-Catholic men and women who oppose abortion at great personal sacrifice.
