Vote Yes For Life - my endorsement

Busy as I am, rationalizing as we all do, still there is really nothing on my schedule this spring, summer and fall that I could honestly stand before God and say trumps the passing of a law in South Dakota that prohibits abortion from being used as a form of birth control. There is this delusion that this is a “political” issue and I’ve traveled the state telling pastors this is no more “political” than slavery was a century ago. This is a moral issue and the Church will be held accountable for not taking the lead this fall in South Dakota. My testimony is that I preach the LIFE message boldly and frequently and people thank me - they want moral leadership. Post-abortive women in my church come into a greater healing. God has blessed our church in every way, yet I’ve watched churches that sit on the sidelines on the LIFE issue struggle in subsequent years. This effort doesn’t just get my nod, my endorsement means I’m enlisting with all my energies. Leslee Unruh and her team at VoteYesForLife.com know the entirety of our church is at their disposal – dollars, volunteers, buildings, vehicles, tables, prayer, the pulpit, etc…

South Dakota is better poised than any state this fall to directly challenge Roe v. Wade and the other side doesn’t have congregations full of good people who supposedly know right from wrong. Pastors and priests are the key to mobilizing this army. I hope you will join me and many other church leaders in South Dakota in ridding our state of the shedding of innocent blood by actively supporting VoteYesForLife.com.
