ProLife is Pro Gospel
“Christians [have to] start viewing the life issue as a discipleship issue … start seeing someone facing an unplanned pregnancy as a mission field.
The biggest thing that has to happen, and what’s really been missing, is the church’s involvement in this issue. “
Roland Warren
President and CEO of Care-Net
Abortion in the Church

“Silence in the face of evil is evil itself: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“I watched that clip [of an abortion], and I thought, ‘I am no different than the priest and the Levite who passed by on the other side of the road. They felt pity for the beating victim, but they didn’t take pity. And Jesus said that wasn’t enough.'”
Scott Klusendorf, President, Life Training Institute

Rise up!
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid…. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer…. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand.
Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.”
