How pro-life is my family? My relationship with others? Do I always stand on the side of life in conversations with my relatives and peers? How is my relationship with my wife? My husband? My children? My parents? My relationship with my pastor?

I am 100% pro-life. I have worked at a CPC, voted only for pro-life candidates, attended "marches for life"... I even lost a teaching job for refusing to take down a pro-life bulletin board (no graphic pics) and quoted Jer 20:9 as my defense: "Then I said, 'I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name.' But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not."

However I have been to churches where abortion is never mentioned, in fact it took me years of fussing at my pastor before he dared to briefly say "abortion is murder" from the pulpit. I am amazed by the number of church-going Christians who do not know how their elected officials stand on abortion! Yes, I blame the churches for not educating the people.

BTW, earlier this week I found myself at a convenience store and someone made a comment about my pro-life shirt. Before I knew what happened I found myself preaching to a small group and when I was about to mention Democrats I realized I was the only white person there! LOL! I took a deep breath and continued, explained that Democratic politicians are pro-abortion and anybody who votes for one of them is complicit in the murder of millions of innocents. A woman argued that "some girls get pregnant and need help" and I just couldn't stop myself. It was deathly quiet when I left the store. My husband wanted to know what took so long to pay for the gas, but when he saw my shaking hands he knew!
