Christians need to speak to other Christians about their involvement in and support of crimes against the unborn

Mennonite Germans worshiping with English Quakers in Philadelphia were the first Americans to speak out against the practice of slavery in 1688, and particularly were against their fellow Christians engaging in the "traffic of humans."  They recalled the days when the Turks (Muslims) were capturing Europeans on ships and selling them as slaves.

Amen to that! The world will never "get" why abortion is so terrible, but our fellow church members must be convinced of the sin of abortion, before anything can be done.

Thanks, Dan. If we can't convince the church, we won't have much luck with the world.
