I recall a news report years ago quoting a pro-choice advocate saying something like "there are too many abortions". I think we can all agree on that. I'm not suggesting that is every advocates position. Recently in the Worthy US News section there was an article stating that abortions are at an all-time low since Roe v. Wade. That seems like an interesting talking point particularly around why we are seeing regular a decrease in the rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi brother, If attempting to reach out to the pro-choice community is causing more stress than is tolerable and you still feel the need to minister to them, do so with much prayer and consideration before you share the love of Christ with them. Should you currently find this impossible, step back and renew what you feel called to do in witnessing for Him. This group including the LGBT are two of the most difficult to minister to in the world as we know it. How you approach them will either open the door for you or cause it to slam into your face if you lack the necessary discernment. Pro-militants run rampantly here, so approach with all due caution. Realize what you're stepping into. These two worlds in particular are some of the most common and destructive land minds existing that we as Christians are familiar with. Use wisdom at all cost. God bless. Shalom, David/BeauJangles Edited December 5, 2020 by BeauJangles 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything I could try telling them? Or is it not worth bothering? It seems to me there are three groups of people. One group believes there should be no restrictions on abortions. A second would prohibit all abortions, except when the mother's life is endangered by the pregnancy. The third would be those who would only allow abortions when the mother's life is endangered by the pregnancy, and when the pregnancy is the result of a rape. I guess it depends on which group you belong to and which group you are speaking to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a similar point on a feminist thread once (by the way, I was later banned) and one said, 'You're free to believe in whatever God you like, but you don't have the right to tell women what to do with their bodies. So shove your God up your a#$.' Then another one replied to that member with a clapping emoji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
