3 weeks ago | centerforbaptistleadership.org | Ben Zeisloft

Southern Baptists broadly oppose abortion and want to see it ended. They don’t just want it to be “unthinkable” or “unnecessary,” they want it to be illegal.

Over one million abortions take place across America every single year, and the murder of preborn image-bearers of God has no stronger bulwark than emotional sabotage.

Op-Ed: Planned Parenthood Celebrates as Texas Pro-Life Group Opposes Bill to End Abortion

1 month ago | westernjournal.com | Ben Zeisloft

When Planned Parenthood starts celebrating the work of a “pro-life” group, that group should start asking whether they are actually “pro-life,” rather than supporting the work of death.
