A response to the Donald Miller Backlash
http://burnsidewriterscollective.blogspot.com/2008/09/interview-with-donald-miller.html
I am my mothers third son but her only child. She had two abortions before me. God has, over the last 24 years brought her to a place of freedom and healing. And now she speaks in churches and gatherings all over, sharing her testimony and counseling to post abortive women and families. 24 years it took her to overcome the emotional wounds left by her actions, 24 years many facets of her life were altered, social interactions, ministry, her walk with God all hindered.
Bryan Catherman said,"So ultimately, if Christians wish to see Roe overturned, we need to press on our elected politicians more. We need not to "overturn" Roe v. Wade, but instead find a way to give a voice to the unborn. We can no longer afford to simply be okay with the misguided judicial appointment rhetoric." which was part of a very well written response regarding the actual legal process that would need to occur for RVW to be overturned.
At the end of the day I am very much pro-life, I am also an unvoiced libertarian. I do believe in the holistic sanctity of the entire life. I do believe no one issue can determine my political choices. I do believe that the government SHOULD NOT BE the primary conduit for anti-abortive action to flow. The legislative probability of an overturn is low.
It is my opinion, that it is the family that is the church's responsibility to be a loving arm in the community, to prove themselves an aid to pregnant and post abortive women. To be the fulcrum on which true change occurs. One life, one woman, one baby at time. The greatest commandment Love God, love others. Change can happen but it is us as the embodiment of Jesus who will usher that change.

I love Don's work, but I've always known his views on politics varied from my own.
It's ok - Jesus still likes him.
