As Christians, we recognize that life is sacred and created by God. Our beliefs are deeply rooted in the biblical principle that every human being is made in the image of God and deserving of dignity and protection from the moment of conception. In light of this, the recent announcement by Planned Parenthood to offer free abortions and vasectomies near the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago raises deep concerns for many Christian conservatives.
Planned Parenthood's initiative, which coincides with the first two days of the DNC, feels more like a political statement than a healthcare effort. The timing and location—just blocks away from a major political event—appear to send a clear message about the increasing alignment of certain political groups with pro-abortion policies. This is deeply troubling to those of us who see the sanctity of life as a cornerstone of our moral values.
The mobile clinic offering free medication abortions and vasectomies is not merely a response to healthcare needs; it is a manifestation of the growing divide between secular society and those who hold traditional Christian values. While the DNC may not be directly offering these services, the proximity of this initiative suggests that abortion rights are becoming more than a policy issue—they are becoming a key feature of the Democratic Party’s identity.
It’s important to recognize that the Christian conservative viewpoint is not about controlling the lives of others, rather it is to preach the good news of the Gospel to them as well as upholding the belief that life is a gift from God. Our concern lies with the normalization of abortion and the consequences it has on society’s moral fabric. As political events like the DNC continue to highlight this issue, we must stand firm in our convictions, continue to pray for our leaders, and advocate for policies that reflect the value of life in all its stages. Protecting those that are the most vulnerable in our society.
This should also concerns those that support the newly founded "Christians for Kamala" as Harris has supported organizations like Planned Parenthood.
