Yeah, yeah, yeah. Christians are against abortion. But are they against it enough to actually do anything? If they were passionately against abortion, what would it look like?

First of all, Canon City has about 20,000 people. That would mean there are probably more than 10,000 professing Christians (which is somewhat meaningless), and I’d guess about 2,000 that are actually saved. What would happen if those 2000 people spent 2 hours per month fighting abortion and preaching the gospel? That would not be too much to ask. In fact, it’s commanded in Scripture (not the 2 hours, but the caring for orphans). Abortion is murder, and children are being torn limb from limb, legally, in this country.

What would 4000 man-hours spent per month look like in Canon City? First of all, there are about 720 hours in a month. Let’s eliminate any type of work from 10 pm to 7 am, as there aren’t much people around at those times. That means there are about 450 working hours per month. That would mean there would be nine Christians laboring to end child sacrifice from 7 am to 10 pm every day.  That would be impressive. How much discussion would there be if there were always Christians out agitating the public?

Of course, the more likely scenario is that people would concentrate their efforts a little more. There might be times when there are more people out. You might hear Christians bringing up the topic wherever they go. Maybe we could picket pharmacies until they stop selling their abortion pills.

There are no abortion clinics here, but there is in Colorado Springs. There, there are enough Christians to block the doors of the abortion clinic so that no one could ever even approach the doors. I’ve been to the Planned Parenthood there, when my family were the only ones there.

We already have everything we need to end abortion. We have enough people and the God-given conscience of everyone else who know murder is wrong. This saying is right: Every abortion clinic should have a sign in front of it saying, “Open by permission of the church.”

Proverbs 24:11: Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.

James 1:27: Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
