You Can Help Stop the American Holocaust
by T. C. Pinckney Vol. XIII, No. 3, March 2000
Since 1973 when the Supreme Court invented a new "right" it said was embodied in the Constitution some 37,000,000 unborn babies have been murdered. Currently, the rate is reported to be approximately 1,350,000 each year, 3,700 each hour, 61 each minute, more than one every second.
Have we forgotten that God says He hates the shedding of innocent blood (Proverbs 6:16-17)? Surely He will curse a land that continues in this great sin.
You and I cannot end the holocaust singlehandedly, but we can make our views known to our governmental officials and legislators clearly and repeatedly. Every candidate should hear from each of us. Politicians are all good at at least one thing, counting votes. Let every candidate at every level hear from you.
But there is another way you and your church can be directly involved in saving these precious, innocent lives. Actively support your nearest Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC). Did you know there are 26 evangelical CPCs in Virginia? Scattered all over the state. Most of them need help. Often they are short-handed. Almost always they are strapped for cash. Frequently need more clean, used or new baby clothes and other items to give to women who keep their babies. They need prayer support. If they had more people to help and more money, they could save more babies and minister to more women facing this horrible choice.
Following is a list of evangelical Virginia CPCs. Call the nearest one and ask how they are doing, what they need. Then contribute yourself and get your church interested in helping.
