We are not like most people in our culture today, who are far too concerned with their own personal peace and comfort to even discuss abortion in the public square. We refuse to calmly and quietly agree to disagree on this issue. But we are dead set on ending our culture’s mutual assured silence about abortion and arousing all those who are “pro-life” yet apathetic about the cause of abolition. Identifying oneself as aligned with a controversial opinion on a controversial topic is viewed by some people as unhelpful or too radical. For, we are against the world, for the world and though we live in the world, we do not orient our lives around its principles. We desire to shine as lights in this present darkness and make ourselves visible in the word as we live in it, but not of it. But we are not concerned with fitting in, but sticking out. We fully realize that our views are not going to be popular with everyone, and we embrace the fact that they will be rejected and scorned by those who reject a Christ-centered view of reality. As the abolitionists of earlier times stood up and declared themselves emphatically opposed to the blindly overlooked and sometimes willfully ignored evil that undergirded much of the self-proclaimed superiority of their whitewashed society, we also desire to stand up and be clearly counted in opposition to the legally sanctioned practice of exterminating developing human beings in the name of women’s right and in the furtherance of our culture’s continued sexual objectification of women.
