Imago Dei: Being Pro-Life in the 21st Century

January 22nd is the 42nd observance of the Supreme Court ruling, Roe v. Wade, which gave us abortion on demand for all nine months of a woman’s pregnancy. It is acknowledged by the leading abortion provider, Planned Parenthood (through their Guttmacher Institute) that over 57 million children have died. Is being anti-abortion all that the pro-life movement stands for? Obviously the answer is no. Public policy on the sanctity of life is being shaped by a host of new 21st century threats and we—the Church—must be like the men of Issachar who understand the times and know what God requires of us.
