Amidst a year that has been ravaged by a pandemic, we’ve seen death, grief, and fear manifest in unprecedented ways. We’ve watched a historic rise in unemployment and suicide rates unfold before our very eyes; businesses have crumbled, and churches have struggled to maintain connection during a time plagued by isolation and uncertainty.
And yet, amidst the rumble of panic that has shaken all we once considered “normal,” there is still another fight for life we can’t afford to ignore.
Abortion, in a sense, is an ongoing “pandemic” that has claimed more lives than any other on record. Yet it’s so often glossed over, as outright murder has been semantically twisted as “women’s rights,” and the horror of taking a life has been normalized as mere “choice.”
Today, more than ever, the Christian community must rally together to fight for all things “pro-life”—especially the unborn, as their own voices cannot yet be heard.
In an effort to do just that, Focus on the Family has launched the “See Life” 2020 campaign, encouraging churches and individuals alike to join the movement to end abortion.
“Abortion has devastated the hearts and homes of women, men and families — and ended the lives of tens of millions of preborn babies, all of whom were made in the image of God,” the organization writes on the campaign’s website. “We cannot let this continue. We are compelled to help the world see life clearly, to stand and speak up on behalf of preborn human life, to provide care for women and men facing unexpected pregnancies, and to call for an end to abortion.”
