I am pro-life. Pretty much all pro-life people I know agree the child should come to term....just by definition...That said, should we as His followers support unwed mothers such as taking them into our home and caring for them? Be willing to take one of those babies born? Be willing to give monthly a chunk of our income to those who are adopting?

Yes, we definitely should. One of the charges the pro-choice crowd makes against pro-lifers is that we only care about babies until they're born. That's obviously pretty unfair, but unfortunately, I don't think it's entirely baseless judging by our actions.Our church marked Sanctity of Life Sunday with a prayer for the unborn, a prayer for repentance, and all the things that pro-lifers should be doing. But they also highlighted our church's involvement with a local group here in Maryland that works to support mothers who choose life.Perhaps this is an area where we could apply the words of the Lord -- this we ought to have done, and not left the other undone.

Very good question.we hear a lot of 'stuff' thrown at the pro life community.The charges by the liberals have should make us think. It is very obvious at times, we sympathize with the 'unexpectyed pregnancy' BUT, If in your life, just once, YOU have felt you had no where to turn, you may understand what a bill board or just a flyer saying WE WILL HELP YOU, can mean, you may understand!Sympathy ain't all bad, but when a young girl is kicked out of her home and on the street, she needs more than sympathy.The question remains, is the Church world actually, really, honestly ready to take care of a an ignorant kid, a young prostitute or an older one for that matter. Sinners that should pay for their sins, by goodness, they shoulda knowd better. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I suppose there might be some so-called Christians somewhere who don’t care to help single mothers in need, but I’ve never met any personally. I know the churches I have been involved with over the course of my lifetime have often gone out of their way to help anyone they reasonably could. I know of Christian couples who have gladly offered to adopt an unwanted child, but the costs associated were far more than they reasonably could pay.

Historically, there is no group in human history that has done more to advance the cause of the marginalized, the sick, the orphan or the abanoned than the church. We can always do better. But, Christians as a whole have substantially impacted the cause for life in all stages. Compassion InternationalWorld VisionServing Orphans WorldwidePeople for Care and LearningFamilies and individualsMy parents regularly took people into our home. I know the same is likely true for many of us. This month, we are celebrating the journeys of some of our foster families at Pathway Church. We’ll also be communicating how to foster, how to adopt, or how to get involved in the Neat Profram, a local court-associated Big Brother/Big sister program here in Mobile. Of course, I’m also celebrating 44 churches in 15 states who have banded together to do BUY A TREE. CHANGE A LIFE. (www.buyatreechangealife.com). We have recently been able to give away over $2 million to help children globally and locally. If your church would like to be a part of that story you can fill out an INTEREST FORM at www.buyatreechangealife.com

You must forgive me for not knowing of churches that Truly support efforts to help the girls with unwanted pregnancies on a local basis, but the churches I have attended for any period of time have always taken an offering for Crisis Pregnancy Ministry.(etc) But that was once or twice a year. Nothing on a consistent basis. I understand there must be huge expense in adoptions, But I have never heard of churches raising money for families to adopt.I know very well we are sympathetic, I am, but I am just saying it is not something I have noticed being a high priority in local churches.

Just as snide.....I always thought that helped a whole lot! (NOT)That has always seemed so pathetic to me, yelling Murderer at a kid who is confused enough already. There must be a better way for Christians to do it. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Years ago Charlie Hugh Matthews introduced us to his sister in Gastonia, NC. She had dedicated her home to unwed mothers. We moved away and that slipped thru the cracks. We will remedy that when we get back. Since we went on the road we just lost contact and stopped contributing. Gotta fix that. I hope she is still operating there.
