The role of pastors in the abortion debate
Frequently I hear people express utter disbelief when I tell them about South Dakota's Pastors for IMMoral Choices - the handful of South Dakota clergy who see nothing wrong with abortion and in fact, are outspoken advocates for it. I tell them the story of last January when three blind guides (New York clergy) blessed a new abortion clinic at it's grand opening ceremony in upper New York State. Blessing an abortuary is like blessing Auschwitz. This is unimaginable to most people that church leaders are actually on the side of those who kill children for profit. I tell them it's nothing new, evil has long borrowed good men to smile upon it's work. The high priests of Israel fell into Molech (child sacrifice) ministry - this is nothing new.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood drew ministers into the web of deceit she set to rid the world of what she called "dysgenic races." The racism of Planned Parenthood's founder has never been renounced. Actually, this gal is celebrated and each Planned Parenthood CEO since Margaret Sanger has reaffirmed the original vision. As this quote indicates, Sanger strategically used clergy to create a respectability facade around her dark agenda.
We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members. Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble
Something altogether different is underway in South Dakota. Pastors are coming together who are shedding light on this darkness and opening their doors to those most hurt by it - women and children. Thank God for them.
This post was prompted by a letter to the editor in yesterday's Argus Leader which carried the headline, Clergy should tend to flocks. The point of that letter was to say South Dakota pastors should shut up about abortion and take care of their flocks instead. Those who know their Bible know that when Jesus reinstated Peter (for denying him three times) he told Peter three times to "feed (or tend to) his sheep." Well, actually, only two times. The first time he actually said "feed my LAMBS."
What we see there is the priority of children to God - the sheep come after the lambs. That's why I say, on my watch, I'd rather offend an adult than see another unborn child dismembered without anesthesia. Pastors who know God, know his heart for children, born and unborn. And, they speak up for them no matter what the rest of the world thinks about it.

On the topic of abortion, even many people who defend the possibility of legal abortions, they say they are not pro-abortion, but they don’t want to punish women who are in this difficult situation. In Germany a curious thing has happened. Something that reflects that legal abortion affects adversely to the country. And also that the change is possible: you can promote a culture of life with the support of the citizens, when really there is a real wish of avoid abortions. Since the liberalization of abortion in this country, the number of abortions is officially four million. For that reason, among others, children are seen as an unintended effect of having sex. Many people thought it was necessary to promote greater social acceptance of children in an aging society. And civil society acted, without waiting for action by the State to promote births. They joined several media organizations in a campaign. Interestingly, after the campaign, the birth rate has risen in Germany. The video is exciting.
