One question that crosses my mind is what "church" would accept this guy as a parishioner? I will accept that we are all sinners but I believe most churches won't accept folks who "continue to live in their sin". Can you imagine a church accepting an unrepentant Larry Flynt? Sure his publication is legal but really, can you imagine him in a pew? Other parishioners would be expected to minister to him in fellowship? Really? The bulk of the fault here IMHO is the pastor that accepted this abortionist. Maybe he told himself that what this abortionist was doing was "legal" and so he should be accepted but this represents a glaring error in judgment on the pastor's part if you ask me and the pastor's "flock" should have exercised some judgment on this matter as well and found a new fellowship. I do believe Paul tells us to do exactly that. In our society there are many things that are "legal" that are sin. The church needs to let folks know clearly that "continued unrepentant sin" will not be tolerated in fellowship. Am I the only one who sees this issue clearly?

There are a good many "churches" that do not consider his activities to be sin. Quite a few have, for all practical purposes, abortion as their main sacrament.

Whether that applies to his church, I do not know.

It was the best church money could buy.
