Activists Start Christians for Abortion Organization, Say “Pro-Lifers Not in Line With the Bible”

Angered by the 40 Days for Life pro-life campaigns in England, a group of abortion activists who call themselves Christians recently formed a counter-campaign.

The UK blog Abortion Rights reports the new group Christians for Choice formed in direct response to the pro-life 40 Days for Life campaigns. The pro-abortion group said it is made up of abortion supporters from various Christian denominations.

Edem Barbara Ntumy, one of the group founders, said she doesn’t think her faith and support of abortion are “diametrically opposed.”

“The rhetoric of Christian anti-choice groups has drowned out the voices of pro-choice Christians,” Ntumy said. “It is vital that other Christian positions on abortion are heard. Whilst I recognise those of Christian faiths have a diverse range of opinions on abortion, it is important to be able to have uncomfortable conversations and debates within our community.”

Other abortion activists also have attempted to justify their involvement in the abortion industry by talking about their religious beliefs. Mississippi abortionist Willie Parker calls himself a Christian and his abortion practice “a ministry.” Young abortionist-in-training Carolyn Payne says her faith influenced her to pursue a job in the abortion industry. And Methodist minister Emma Akpan says she volunteers for Planned Parenthood because she is a Christian. Conveniently, none of them mention that abortion kills innocent, unborn human beings – a violation of the Christian commandment “Thou shalt not kill.”
