Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
You think you know the Pro-Life movement? Think again.
Don’t take my word for the sanctity of life. Hear the words of others who don’t look like me and who don’t believe everything I believe, who defend the lives of women and children. Cited here are hyperlinks to all the organizations and statements from the chief spokespersons of those groups. I stand with them all as allies for protecting children in the womb.
One of the ways the National Black Pro-Life Coalition serves the Black community is by supporting men and women who have Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS). The condition occurs after the abortion experience due to unresolved psychological and spiritual concerns. Abortion Recovery Helps individuals overcome the emotional trauma and spiritual concerns experienced after an abortion. Watch the videos of three counselors who will help. One of the Coalition’s core values states, “We believe the viability of a nation is dependent upon its value of human life in all stages.”
Catherine Davis of the Restoration Project is a nationally known civil rights advocate. The groups acts on its mission statement “dedicated to rebuilding families, promoting the sanctity of life, in order to transform American public policy and culture’s impact on Black life into a restored culture of uprightness, evenhandedness, and virtue”
Black Genocide and its leader Reverend Clenard Childress, publicizes the negative effects
of black abortions. Part of their mission, “Offers quality, peaceful, non-violent leadership training at its conferences [and] embraces the precept of overcoming evil with ethical alternatives which acknowledge the sanctity of all human life.”
Ryan Bomberger, of the Radiance Foundation, says, “It is mystifying to me that even with decades of the results of undying devotion toward the Democratic Party, African Americans still give the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow, separate and unequal, unlimited abortion, their allegiance.” A consistent quotation of The Radiance Foundation comes from Proverbs 31:8-9, “Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves. Protect the rights of all who are helpless. Speak for them and be a righteous judge. Protect the rights of the poor and needy.”
Humanist or “secular” groups exist whose mission is to protect the rights of children in the womb. Secular Pro-Life and Pro-Life San Francisco are examples. Terrisa Bukovinac, is an atheist, feminist, vegan, Democrat, and a consistent life activist. Terrisa, founder of Pro-Life San Francisco
says, “You can’t justify abortion any more than you can justify the killing of a born person. There is no consistent, objective distinction between an unborn person and a human being.” The Pro-Life San Francisco webpage declares, “Pro-Life San Francisco is a millennial led non-profit human rights organization for pro-life people from across the political, ideological, and generational spectrum. We are dedicated to creating a culture of peace where the pre-born members of our human family are protected from the violent and lethal discrimination of abortion.”
Rehumanize International, “advocates for human rights, not person rights, because the definition of who can or cannot be a person is ultimately a rhetorical debate that ignores scientific facts.” Aimee Murphy, “I’m having some doubts about supernatural claims or the Bible, but that doesn’t mean I have to be in favor of killing babies now.” Murphy believes, “You need everyone to believe that abortion is a crime against mothers and their preborn children.”
Feminists for Life leader Serrin Foster states, “Women deserve better than abortion.” Since 1994 Ms. Foster has been speaking on college campuses on “The Feminist Case against Abortion.” That speech includes these statements that feminism “embraces basic rights for all human beings without exception” and “rejects the use of force to dominate, control, or destroy anyone.” New Wave Feminists leader Destiny Herndon-De
La Rosa said she knew she was on the wrong side of the Women’s March on Washington in March, 2017 when the group was removed from the sponsor list.
Democrats for Life, executive director Kristen Day has been passionate to pass pro-life, pro-family legislation on
Capital Hill. Wanting abortion to be “unthinkable,” part of the group’s “Worldview is informed by science, which, increasingly, reveals the humanity of the pre-born child.”
As a believer in Jesus as Lord I believe that God made humans in His image (Gen 1:26-27) in the womb (Jer 1:5) and that those children deserve our protection (Prov 31:8-9). And I am grateful for groups such as these whose mission includes the Truth of Scripture in Pro-Life beliefs.
