Christians HAVE been doing something

And Christians WILL need to do more

As I mentioned in the Memo I sent out on Monday, the reversal of Roe has rocked the world – both secular and sacred. In some ways that may seem a little odd since we all were given a preview of the ruling when a draft of the majority opinion was leaked months ago. But there was always the possibility that one of the justices would change their mind as Justice Kennedy famously did in 1992 after having originally been part of a majority to overturn Roe then. Kennedy got cold feet and switched his vote at the 11th hour, and there was little secret that the left was doing all they could to facilitate it.

In the end, such a switch didn’t happen, and both sides are sitting slack-jawed after 50 years of a judicially mandated right to abortion has ended. But what has alarmed me the most in the last few days is what I can only describe as a gloomy and almost despondent response to the decision itself coming from professing Christians.

Though I think it highly suspect that any believer wouldn’t find great reason to rejoice at the decision, which was clearly correct, I am, right or wrong, willing to give them the benefit of the doubt unless I have evidence to the contrary. To this point most I have seen seem to be couching their lack of excitement as concern over what will now happen to abortion-minded women.

Very well. But it is certainly offensive to rationality to suggest Christians haven’t been doing anything over the course of the last half century to care for those with crisis pregnancies. Even our media knows they have been because they’ve been attacking Christians for it. Check this out…
