Many Continue The Fight To Stop Abortion
In a recent article in the Liberty University student newspaper, Southeastern Director of the Center for Bioethical Reform (CBR) Fletcher Armstrong spoke to a group of Liberty University students as part of SGA’s week-long “Reclaiming Others’ Sacred Existence (ROSE)” event.
“We have to change the hearts and minds of the American people. There’s not a consensus in the country to stop abortion right now,” Armstrong said. “We need to convert more people to a pro-life position.”
Likewise, as reported by Fox News on November 20, 2009, a coalition of Christian leaders — including the country’s Catholic bishops — put President Obama on notice Friday that it would vigorously fight any health care reform legislation that allows federal funding for abortions.
“A health care bill can be a great, great blessing to our country,” Philadelphia Archbishop Justin Rigali said during a press conference Friday on Capitol Hill. “But we make a distinction between health care and killing.”
More than 150 Christian leaders, most of them conservative evangelicals and traditionalist Roman Catholics, issued a joint declaration reaffirming their opposition to abortion and gay marriage and pledging to protect religious freedoms.
The 4,700-word document, called “The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience,” was unveiled one day before the Senate is expected to consider it’s sweeping health care bill that includes a measure permitting abortion funding.
