re: Mega church pastor says: Penalizing Women for Abortion Is Not Pro-Life

I admit that I’m wrong and he was commenting on the Texas law and not the Alabama. My sincere apologies. I breezed over the article and didn’t see a fact stated plainly.

Thanks for the clear up. I didnt read it either, but just knew about it, since he mentioned it in his sermon this past Sunday.

I am for the abolition of all abortion, including in cases of rape. The life of a baby born of rape is no lesser than a baby born in wedlock. I won’t apologize for that stance.

I'm there next to you on this as well, no doubt. Seriously though, not sure if you are married, and have kids, but definitely would highly recommend you find 30 or so mins to hear his sermon I posted. I dont know if it includes the whole hour-ish in the link or just the 30-ish min 2nd half with the sermon.

He wrapped in all we are dealing with in 30 mins, and it's a gut punch of a sermon. Like the "uncomfortable" kind being given a reality check of where one is as a Christian.

I would recommend parents listen to it, and set times to listen to it with their teen kids. Teach them the base of Christian belief on sexual behavior within marriage, outside of it, homosexuality, and cant say it better.

That being said, criminalizing the women is the same as the church’s stance against gays too long. We can’t minister to these people if we’re throwing them in jail.

Not 100% on the connection here. Were gays being criminalized? Just like any sin it needs not to be acceptable, but continue to pray that the negative behavior ends.
