Russell Moore ‘Disgusted’ by GOP’s Decision to Drop Pro-Life Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 22, 2015—Russell Moore, president of the
Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty
Commission, responded to House Republicans’ decision to drop the “Pain
Capable Unborn Child Protection Act,” a major pro-life bill that would
ban abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.
“I am disgusted by this act of moral cowardice. If the House
Republicans cannot pass something as basic as restricting the abortion
of five-month, pain-capable unborn children, what can they get done?
“The Republicans in Congress should come and explain this atrocity to
the hundreds of thousands of people gathering here in the nation’s
capital to march for life. The congressional Republicans seem to think
that pro-lifers will be satisfied with Ronald Reagan rhetoric and Nancy
Pelosi results. They are quite wrong.”
House Republicans are now scheduled to vote on a bill Thursday that
would prohibit federal funding for abortions. This scheduled vote
coincides with the annual March for Life event, held in Washington,
D.C., on or around the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision
legalizing abortion in the case Roe v. Wade.
The Southern Baptist Convention is America’s largest Protestant
denomination with more than 15.8 million members in over 46,000
churches nationwide. The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission is
the SBC’s ethics, religious liberty and public policy agency with
offices in Nashville, Tenn., and Washington, D.C.

Approximately 38% of abortions in the U.S. were had by 6% of the population, black women. 72% of black children are born out of wedlock to a society that celebrates the machismo of the "baby daddy". A large percentage of these children will grow up completely supported by other peoples money. Then they will either be a part of the statistic that 78% of all violent crime is created by 6% of the population (black males), or, they will be the ones who are paid to birth more of the problem while condoning what has become of their community.
ReplyDeleteI shudder to think of the accelerated decay that would happen from outlawing abortion. Yes, I know, "Dats Raysis". -Anymouse the racist.
Rev. Rob Schenck has driven a wedge between pro-life and pro-Constitution conservatives and libertarians. He gave a speech for gun control at the big demonstration in Washington.

I support the Second Amendment. If I have to stop supporting the Second Amendment to be against abortion, well then, I won't be against abortion.
What about the 2nd Amendment isn't "pro-life"? OK, we know it's really not about deterring crime, it's about deterring tyranny. But while we have the God-given and Constitutionally-protected right to deter tyranny, we also have (thanks to Col. Colt, John Moses Browning et al) the means to protect our lives from murderous criminals. If that's not "pro-life", what is?

There is a difference between shooting the guilty and aborting the innocent.
