The UMC position is decidedly not Pro-Life.
The Council of Bishops, the final source of authority in the UMC, has consistently and forcefully supported Roe v Wade.
The leadership of the UMC views itself as distinctly leftist politically. For more than 50 years they have worked assiduously to rid the denomination of conservatism in all its forms, especially charisma, Biblical literalism and Christ only salvation.
UMC members typically do not believe in the official social positions of their church. This is a denomination gone so badly awry that it can no longer be considered Christian.

“This is a denomination gone so badly awry that it can no longer be considered Christian.”

By this logic John the Baptist wouldn’t have been a Jew.

Think about it. The Church doesn’t belong to the Methodists. That was never the idea.

All of these National Council of Churches "churches" are in the same boat. They are no longer churches. They are left-wing, liberal political organizations disguised as churches so that unsuspecting contributors continue to fund these political organizations.
