#67 – Understanding The Stakes

Those of us in the pro-life movement tend to see the conflict over abortion as a war between us and the pro-choice mob. But that’s not accurate. Our lives are not at risk, we are simply a community of people who choose to fight for those whose lives are at risk. In other words, this is not a war between us and the pro-choice mob, it’s a war between the pro-choice mob and the babies.

Once we understand this, it becomes clear that whenever we agree to sit down with these killers – not for the purpose of confronting them, or stopping them, but to look for “common ground” with them – we betray the unborn children they are killing. So while this “common ground” idea might seem reasonable on the surface, in reality it is an act of surrender. It’s like sitting down with the Klan to reduce the “need” for lynchings.
