Years ago, while I was serving a church in the DC suburbs, a member of my church insisted I attend the “March for Life.” The March is an annual on the mall in Washington that demonstrates against abortion. I marched, but little has changed.
Here are my most recent thoughts about how to effectively battle abortion.
Let’s make adoption so attractive that abortion will loose credibility as an option in the public’s mind.
It seems to me, all pro-life, anti-abortion, advocates, should be even more passionate about adoption and foster care.
My perception, which may be false, says that adoption is seen as the less desirable option for the woman, or couple, considering abortion. Somehow abortion is favored. Could someone figure out how to make adoption so desirable, and so attractive, and so successful and common, that abortion lost all favor?
One significant step is for churches to fully embrace foster care and adoption. I’m glad to see the beginnings of this at my church, but we have so long to go. WOuld you partner with me to pray for churches, and for Christians, to fully embrace adoption/foster care?
