We love people. Big people and little people. We give extra effort to loving the vulnerable and oppressed, which in our society often includes immigrants, the poor, children, and the elderly.
In efforts to love the unborn, the church has often championed use of law and punishment (most recently including the death penalty), thinking this to be the best route to reduce abortion. We believe this is deeply flawed, amplifying the issue when ex*****on is on the table and failing to meet the ethic of love by which all our actions should flow.
We encourage our Christian brothers and sisters to consider a different approach - reducing the need (both perceived and real) for abortion by advocating for policies and programs which increase education and reduce the burden on mothers.
In South Carolina, this means abandoning the standard of supporting the candidate intent on outlawing abortion. This means asking what the candidate supports to assist pregnant/new mothers and to reduce unintended pregnancies. These are the tangible actions that holistically support the entire family, our entire society, rather than merely increasing fines and death row.
In South Carolina, this means finally voting Lindsey Graham out of office, along with those like him who refuse to address this deeply meaningful need across our state and country.
