Thank you, Donna, for your thoughtful and informative article. The issue of abortion should be a rallying point for American Christians everywhere, but sadly it is not. They say Americans are divided about abortion, but how can Christians be divided on the sanctity of life? As I see commercials on TV for the Shriner’s Children’s hospital, I see the smiling faces of beautiful children, each one born with an imperfection, with frail skeletons, and limbs missing, birth defects, and yet….they are loved, and they love back. The Lord loves His children. And consider that millions of American children since Roe were destroyed in the womb, or left to die on a stainless steel table in some inner city clinic. It should grieve us deeply, as it grieves the Lord, how segments of the population find the unborn worthy of death, despised because they are inconvenient and unwanted. If there is a cause worth supporting and defending, it is the maligned and hated pro-life movement. I pray that in 2023, more of our fellow Lutherans, and Christians everywhere, will make it a point to stand for life, and that includes regular monetary donations to pro-life groups and organizations supporting unwed mothers. We must act. We must act now. Soli Deo Gloria
