Getting Wise to the Lies

In a BreakPoint commentary on the Prison Fellowship Ministries web site, Chuck Colson explores the reasons why so many young women today are choosing life instead of abortion.

Alexander Sanger, chairman of International Planned Parenthood, complains that the numbers are “unbelievably shocking.” And he warns: “It’s not just the numbers that are down . . . It’s the enthusiasm.” When Sanger visits colleges, he finds that many no longer have an abortion rights group. But, as he told Glamour magazine, he “has yet to visit one that doesn’t have a strong, vocal faction of pro-life women.”

Colson states that young women are finally hearing the truth about abortion, that it kills a living baby, and that it's not the safe surgery abortion advocates claim. He compassionately points out the numbers of women who have been hurt by abortion, and encourages us to keep helping women in crisis pregnancies through groups like Care Net and the Nurturing Network.
