SOHLS / week

Sanctity of Human Life Sunday / Week is observed from the Sunday to Sunday in January when the 22nd falls, which is the anniversary of the 1973 decisions known as "Roe v. Wade" & "Doe v. Bolton"

Interestingly, as I understand it, both the "Roe" and "Doe" of each case has now changed their position and are now pro-life.

I'm sure many -- probably most -- on the TFP forums would consider themselves "pro choice." However, perhaps there would be some who would be interested in exploring the "pro life" perspective of this particular issue.

If so, here is one place you can visit online ~ A website with resources for those involved in pregnancy center ministries.

For the record, I currently serve on the advisory board of a local PCC.

I would hope -- as many have expressed -- that "tolerance" means each person is allowed to hold and express their views with respect, even if it is respectful disagreement.

I am not presenting this information to in any way or sense "debate" the issue. I often think those who engage in debates online are not really interested in an honest exchange of ideas, but rather are simply setting out to argue their agenda, "regardless."

I'm certainly under no rose colored notions that anyone here who has already made up their mind will change it. My hope is that, if we are going to disagree, let's do so civily, and without exhibiting a "cement mentality" -- a mind that's all mixed up and permanently set, no matter the facts or reasons brought to it.

[And I say that in recognition of some Christians I know... Not so much on this issue, but others.]

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ~ Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour
