not a fan of anti-abortion activists. was at the university of calgary this afternoon and they have pictures of holocaust victims along side pictures of aborted babies. and then people walking around with signs saying stuff like "if you are post-abortion distraught, call this number___"
do they serve the same God as me? i hope not. how in sam's are they extending love and grace? does not the measure we use against others the one God will use against us (ironic that i'm judging them considering what i just wrote). would not efforts be better used by showing love and preventing abortions by creating alternatives? have you not just driven those experiencing shame to suicidal thoughts?
at first when i read about this display, i thought to myself "well, at least they are doing something rather than nothing". then as i walked by spirit cried. my heart was crushed. not for the aborted babies...but for the distressed...and for the tactless activists. i wish they were doing nothing rather than 'that' something.
i was thinking of a response to that demonstration. i'm positive that i could get dozens of counter-protestors and completely slander them...yet what example does that set? i believe it is our role to create an environment for expecting mothers who see no other option to abort to live (and have their child) without financial burden with safety nets of a loving community that would sacrifice their comfortable lives to save lives. not just make people feel like shit.
