Abort My Heart: The Action

I have always been at least mildly active in the Pro-Life realm (see previous post). I vote Pro-Life above all other issues, and refuse to apologize for that.

Fighting to end abortion has always seemed like a lost cause to me. The immensity of the issue crushes my hope that I can ever do anything about it.

But recently I encountered a group of Pro-Life missionaries that rearranged my thinking. Even though taking a political stand is important, what is more important is fighting for the hearts and lives of all the souls involved in abortion. They have taken a stand to save lives, one heart at a time. They provide information, testimonies, love, and hope in the face of great opposition.

Go HERE for their website.

So instead of getting stuck in frustration, I am going to do the best that I can to act in love and fearlessness. This October I will be participating in the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity.

I will take a pile a flyers, strap a red band on my arm, cover my mouth in red duct tape, and go into town for the entire day. A lot of people will call me radical, some will call me crazy, and some may accuse me of making Christians look bad (as if we looked good to begin with). It is not my hope to inspire guilt or shame. Nor is it my desire to seek attention. My greatest hope is that even one person might be persuaded to view an unborn baby as a living, breathing, and valuable soul. 

What have I got to lose? My dignity? If I knew that someone was about to murder a 5 year old child, I would move heaven and earth to stop them. So the knowledge that 4,000 mothers every day are going to murder their unborn babies compels me to action. A mother, a father, a child, a doctor, and countless others x 4,000...my heart just burns.

Bombing a clinic is evil and the absolute opposite of the point, protesting without love and compassion is damaging and useless, sitting around twiddling my thumbs does nothing of any value, and conserving my dignity serves no purpose whatsoever.

So if you feel that it's time to take a stand based on love and hope, go HERE and sign up. Pray for the mothers, pray for the fathers, pray for the doctors and the babies. Pray for the people who are fighting to save lives and lead people to the grace of God. Love is the only answer.
