Cold-Hearted And Unreasonable? : Moral Outcry

Cold-Hearted And Unreasonable?

By Ian Kelly • November 13, 2009 03:03 PM

I'm stumped. It wasn't but a week ago that people who opposed health care legislation, because of abortion funding, were being called ignorant, cold-hearted and unreasonable.

The attacks basically had the same tone to them. We were unreasonable because we could not set aside our difference of opinion on abortion and think of the greater good. We were told to consider not only abortion but the millions of uninsured people who are struggling without health care. We were the bad guys. How dare we oppose such legislation. Of course, that was when everything was going according to plan.

Now, however, abortion funding has been prohibited and guess what's going on?! (Yeah, I think you know where I'm going here.) The same people that told the pro-life community to put aside differences and not oppose health care legislation are now the ones OPPOSING health care legislation!

Tax-payer funded abortion got the boot and so now the millions who are struggling without health care have been kicked to the curb, apparently.

Honestly, the pro-abortion community is doing the same thing that the pro-life community did in opposing health care.

I'm not saying Planned Parenthood needs to apologize or admit some kind of wrong... All I'm saying is the pro-abortion folk need to stop being so fickle! It's ridiculous that we were told to look past the abortion issue, for the sake of the greater good, yet now that the tables are turned, Planned Parenthood refuses to support HR 3962. Figures.

Christina Martin is the director of Bound4Life Atlanta and an intercessory missionary at the International House of Prayer Atlanta. For the past 4 years Christina has given herself to the occupation of intercession. It’s her full time job to stand before heaven and earth, God and man, asking for mercy and crying out for truth. She prays, God hears, He moves, She is happy.

Christina is committed to fighting for the unborn. She feels for them because she herself had an appointment to die. Literally. 28 years ago her mother was sitting in a hospital room, waiting for the abortion doctor to call her into his office. An elderly black janitor saw her mom crying and asked her one question “Do you want to have this baby”? Her mom said yes, and the rest was history. She walked out of that clinic with hope in her heart and Christina still safely in her womb.

While in D.C God gave Christina a burden for the African-American community. She was shocked to find out how her race has been targeted by Planned Parenthood from the start of their organization. Christina is convinced she will see Roe v. Wade overturned and abortion end in her lifetime.

Kaitlin captures the voice of a young generation desperately trying to reconcile Biblical truths with practical application in culture.
