Next Steps for the Pro-Life Movement

Christianity Today says, "Political change is giving the abortion lobby an upper hand. What's the best action for pro-life Christians to take next? Melinda Delahoyde, president of Care Net, Clenard H. Childress Jr., founder of BlackGenocide.org., and Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life, suggest the next steps for the pro-life movement."

On the federal level, your tax dollars will fund abortion through the health care proposals being discussed. As Charmaine Yoest points out in the WSJ : "Democratic leaders claim that all they want is to maintain the 'status quo' on abortion. In reality, maintaining what we have now isn't even on the table. To do that, a health-care bill would have to explicitly prevent federal dollars from being used for elective abortions. Provisions that would have done that were killed by all five committees that have handled health-care reform bills this year."  So why, Yoest asks, is health care reform "being sold on the false premise that it would maintain the status quo? Because otherwise the American people would not go along with it."

Just before the election last year, I outlined "Three Things that Pro-Life Obama Supporters Must Do." It's time to review that list.
