I had a gay prof in college that wouldn't come within ten feet of me just because I was a Christian.<BR/><BR/>What a wonderful legacy of love Christians have left. I'm not pro morgentaller but he's a whatever to me. The girls are the ones who need someone to talk with... care for them... they need a legit community that will commit to caring about them and their baby. <BR/><BR/>I remember chatting with a friend late at night in high school. I knew she had had an abortion but she had buried the pain so deep... she couldn't even say the words and admit it. <BR/><BR/> That's who the fervency that you're talking about should be placed as well. It looks bad because it's a disproportionate amount of energy in one area that is even shady theologically if it's even sound biblically (the protests)<BR/><BR/><BR/>any way... good blog davidDave Carrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138953216264463289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647745169771019965.post-39430563852303163832008-07-07T21:59:00.000-04:002008-07-07T21:59:00.000-04:00I wholeheartedly agree with you. I recently realiz...I wholeheartedly agree with you. <BR/><BR/>I recently realized why so many girls (christian and 'non-christian') choose to have abortions... partly, anyway; because of the metaphorical 'scarlet letter' we brand them with in our churches and christian schools. <BR/><BR/>when i was young i attended a christian school at which pregnant girls were swiftly expelled when their 'sin' became public. you can imagine the loneliness they must have felt from the shunning they received from peers and religious authority figures. the saddest part is that those girls and others like them probably learned to see God in that light too, as everyone surrounding them had chosen to speak for Him, but not of love.<BR/><BR/>I know why so many women choose to vote pro-choice... because 'pro-life' to them feels a lot more like 'pro-hate' or 'pro-hypocrisy'. I strongly believe it takes more courage to look past the first layer and into the layers below than it does to rally the troops and organize an angry protest. We should be learning to look at Christ and die to ourselves and do what's hard (but right) and LOVE one another.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311764993124590318noreply@blogger.com
