Should Christians Protest at Abortion Mills?

Yes and no. As I have argued here, there are some fine reasons why Christians should be a constant presence at their local abortion mill. It is true that different believers, even different churches have different callings. Trouble is, too often we “feel called” to that which is most comfortable, most respectable. If there are ten churches within a five mile radius of the local mill, and everyone of them supports Bible study programs for successful businessmen something is wrong. Just remember that both the priest and the Levite had some thriving ministries to get to back in Jerusalem as well. Our neighbor is the baby being led to the slaughter.

That said, and given the same principle of different gifts, and not wanting to start a war over competing strategies, I do think it important that in our own minds, when we go the mill that we not see ourselves as but protestors. A protestor is one who merely protests. It is tantamount to standing before the watching world and declaring “I object!” When I merely protest I want me, my neighbors, my friends, passers-by, and those inside the mill to know how I feel about what they are doing. The point of the protest is to make the bad guys feel bad and the good guys feel good. But the babies, and the souls of those who kill them, still die agonizing deaths.   Continue at R. C. Sproul Jr.
