Why Bother to Fight Abortion?


by John Rabe
Truth in Action Ministries

In recent years, a destructive lie has gained traction among Christians who care about cultural issues. 

According to this lie, Christians have wasted their political efforts on behalf of the pro-life cause. In this line of reasoning, because Roe v. Wade has not been repealed, and because abortions continue to be legal, Christians have “lost” the pro-life war and have had no discernible effect on ameliorating the killing of the unborn in America. 


The reasons for this disinformation are various. Some comes from pastors who hold a spiritualized theology, which says any earthly “reform” efforts from Christians are doomed, since evangelism and “saving souls” is the only worthwhile work. Still more of it comes from left-leaning clergy who want to discourage Bible-believing Christians from further action. And some of it is simply due to ignorance about the impact pro-life activism has had.
