Hey, folks who put up this billboard of big blue eyed baby grinning toothlessly at us with big bold words saying "GOD IS PROLIFE!" - you need to Stop. And. THINK. about what you are saying.

I get what you intend.

But it doesn't feel very good to hear that God apparently is prolife unless it's MY babies. That apparently, according to your published worldview, God wants my babies to die (otherwise, they'd live, wouldn't they? Seeing's how God is all for life! Woooo!).

You hurt people with those messages. You hurt me, whose child had just died. You hurt the woman who had no choice but termination or both she and her child were dead. You hurt the woman who had to make an awful decision to carry a baby who was sentenced to death at or before birth and told her baby's life in utero would be painful and slow march to death or to let it die quickly and painlessly.

And you haven't changed a single person's mind about abortion by telling them that God thinks they should do something different.

All you've done is further wound those of us who would give anything to have our children with us again.
