What belongs under the "pro-life" label? Should abortion be the preeminent pro-life issue?

If all the people who said WE should be consistent were THEMSELVES consistent ... we could talk.

While we acknowledge the biblical pro-life ethic has many applications, Life Matters chooses to focus on abortion and euthanasia because these attacks on the sanctity of human life are so highly orchestrated.

How did Christianity spread like wildfire in the first century when it was "on the wrong side of history"? Tim Keller offers an encouraging explanation.

David's biography is an excellent lesson in what it means to follow the biblical pro-life ethic. With one glaring exception, he's a great example of someone who respects life and treats people as God intends.

Dr. William Toffler, MD, an Oregon physician, recognizes how important it is to listen for what is not being said. How well physicians listen and respond to their patients "has a profound effect... on their view of themselves and their inherent worth."

It's a big question this election year. An even bigger question is, are we ready to live in what may become an even more hostile environment? Will our convictions about life and God's word survive the onslaught? Are we prepared to vote with our actions?

Other than perhaps Kumbaya, it's difficult to find a hymn or gospel song strongly emphasizing brotherly care -- especially ones that so powerfully creates a picture for us of carrying one another on this long journey of life. Most of our hymns (very appropriately) sing to or about God, but isn't the second greatest commandment something to sing about as well?

When Life Matters Worldwide's President, Tom Lothamer, speaks in churches, he makes a point of sharing the forgiveness that can be found in Christ after an abortion. He doesn't know who's listening. Perhaps someone with a guilty conscience, or someone contemplating abortion.
