Some know their whole adult life what they are, while others find out later in life, and some never act on them. I\u2019ve heard multiple times from Christians that being a pro-life advocate is not their calling or passion. God may have steered them into another area of ministry or serving, which is all well and good, but their inaction on abortion falls into another realm.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily in the U.S., approximately 2,500 preborn humans lose their lives from abortion. If 2,500 newborns were murdered in this country daily, would Christians excuse it by saying it\u2019s not their calling to do anything about it? Would they say that God wants them to focus on helping the poor, being a greeter at church, or donating to non-profits rather than being outspoken about the killing of 2,500 newborns? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the secular world would find the murder of just one newborn horrific and would not want it to happen again. One doesn\u2019t need to have a calling to find a single murder of an innocent newborn unimaginable, let alone 2,500. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, apparently many believe there needs to be a calling from God to bring attention to the massive number of unborn humans killed daily.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-lQOooYAs8?si=npjWvV9NkAr-dpPZ\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christians need to stop considering abortion as &#8220;just another issue&#8221; or chalking up their inability to fight it as &#8220;not their calling from God.&#8221; It is an excuse so they will not have to engage others who have the common worldview that the slaughter of innocent preborn humans is perfectly fine. Ultimately, these Christians are framing abortion in the same way as the pro-abortion crowd does by categorizing the unborn as less than human only because they are in a different location and usually a little younger than newborns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering the number of Christians in America, there is vast silence about the torture and ultimate death of a child in the womb. They hear very little from the pulpit because abortion is usually considered a &#8220;social&#8221; or &#8220;political&#8221; issue and is not a part of the church\u2019s mission of spreading the gospel. On the other hand, during the death of George Floyd and its violent aftermath, many churches spoke up against what they considered a human rights violation or racism. If a community is stunned by the death of a newborn at the hands of their parents, churches will often feel compelled to address it from the pulpit.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The torture and ultimate death of innocent humans should not be ignored by any Christian ever again. Abortion should not be another issue that\u2019s lumped in with all the other problems in society. The silence of Christians in the pews and pulpits gives permission for abortion facilities to keep killing the youngest of our neighbors, whom we are supposed to love as ourselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christians must acknowledge the same value of a child inside the womb as one outside the womb. If they do, abortion would be significantly curtailed, and even the secular public may see the error of their beliefs. Fighting the greatest human rights violation in history should not just be a gift, passion, or calling of a very few, but every Christian needs to see this atrocity for what it is. If they don\u2019t consider it their calling, they can still be a voice for the voiceless and also do what God laid on their heart as a calling or passion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/walgreens-cvs-petition\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-283198\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg\" alt=\"Walgreens CVS banner\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--768x197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--500x128.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this guest post are solely those of the guest author.
