What Pastors Can Do to Stop Abortion
Evangelical Christians are generally pro-life attitudinally, but too few are pro-life behaviorally. These Christians are often just as ignorant as non-believers about prenatal development and abortion, which helps explain the disturbing fact that 20% of all abortions are performed on mothers who identify themselves as born-again or evangelical Christians. All this would change if more pastors and church leaders shared with their congregations the evidence that abortion is an act of violence that kills a baby, a human being created in the image of God, a neighbor whom we are called by Jesus to love. By demonstrating to Christ’s followers that abortion is child sacrifice, graphic abortion images motivate Christians to:
- Vote in every election and always for the pro-life candidate
- Donate to the organizations that are working full-time to end abortion
- Go to the sidewalks of abortion clinics and plead with mothers to spare the lives of their children
- Staff the crisis pregnancy clinics that help mothers choose life
- Dissuade family and friends from having abortions, even when doctors are pushing them to terminate their pregnancies
