Mother's Day protests by pro-abortion activists reveal their 'utter brokenness,' say faith leaders
Fox News
With pro-abortion activists apparently planning Mother's Day protests at churches on Sunday, a number of faith leaders shared with Fox News Digital their disdain for, and disappointment about, any such "anti-Mother's Day," anti-faith disruptions — and urged peace, prayer and respect for life.
"As a Christian and pastor, I will not be persuaded to abandon the fight for the innocent lives of the unborn — nor to recant my faith in Christ." "One of the greatest freedoms in America is the freedom of religion and our right to gather freely in worship." "As you consider your options, please choose wisely — and choose life here and in eternity." "To protest on a day set aside to celebrate the beauty of motherhood reveals the utter brokenness and irony of pro-abortion activism." "Christians should prepare to meet the frustrations of pro-choice advocates with gentleness rather than bravado." "Disrupters attempting to cause harm will be met by people of faith committed to saving lives." "That activists would disrupt the sacred gatherings of Christians on Mother’s Day is startling, but it is also telling."
At the same time, these faith leaders remain steadfast in their support of the right to life for unborn children and in the freedom to worship in America.
