Mainline Denominations Among Endorsers of Sunday’s Pro-Abortion March
Some mainline denominations have opted to sponsor the abortion-centric “March for Women’s Lives.” The Episcopal Church USA, Presbyterian Church (USA), and the United Methodist Board of Church and Society along with other historically pro-choice organizations—the National Organization for Women, Planned Parenthood of America, and the American Civil Liberties Union—are prominent supporters of the event.
bq.. (AgapePress) – Sunday’s pro-abortion “March for Women’s Lives” may not generate the huge crowds its organizers and the mainstream media are predicting. Several pro-life groups are saying that’s because support for abortion is on the decline. Perhaps someone should share that information with several mainline denominations who are aligned with the abortion-rights movement.
What do the American Civil Liberties Union, the Episcopal Church USA, Planned Parenthood of America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the National Organization for Women, and the United Methodist Board of Church and Society all have in common? Answer: Each is either an organizer or an endorser of Sunday’s pro-abortion rights “March for Women’s Lives” in Washington, DC.
Diane Knippers of the Institute on Religion and Democracy calls it a “scandal” that officials of mainline churches like ECUSA, PC (USA), and the United Methodist Church have allowed their denominations’ names to be attached to a march that supports “government-funded abortion on demand, with no restrictions, including partial-birth abortion.”
Knippers contends it is the denominational leaders—not the people in the pews—who are guilty of aligning those denominations with what she describes as a “dubious cause.”
