Pro-choice pastor: God loves women who have abortions
As faith leaders, we all feel literally called — and supported by spirit on a daily basis — to model something different in the face of this overwhelming message to people that they’re not enough, that they’re not loved, and that in fact they’re hated…. Our message is that you are loved, loved, loved.
God loves women who have abortions.
~ President and CEO of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Rights, Reverend Harry Knox, explaining the rationale behind why his colleagues became involved with the pro-choice movement, Think Progress, December 16

“overwhelming message to people that they’re not enough, that they’re not loved, and that in fact they’re hated…”
Oh the irony.
“we all feel literally called — and supported by spirit on a daily basis”
Must be nice.
I feel literally called and supported by the Hershey Company to eat chocolate hourly. I wish my feelings would go away.
I hope Reverend Knox’s has faith that goes a bit deeper when the feelings fade and the reality of what he really is supporting hits him like a 747 aircraft.

When someone you love is about to commit an unspeakably wrong act, do you help them see the truth, or do you take the easy route and do nothing?
As I was reading, I thought the quote was talking about the unborn, those vile, hated fetuses, but sadly not. No room at the inn for them. That we are willing to sacrifice our own children when God was willing to sacrifice his life for us says everything about the times we live in.

“God loves women who have abortions.”
True. God also loves women who don’t have abortions. He also loves those killed during abortion. He loves everyone. Not a new message, Rev Knox… you’re not modeling anything different.

This is so tragic.
This dude is as lost as a goose in the fog.
And sadly, there is absolutely nothing reverential about him.
He characterizes himself as a “faith leader” when in reality he is a blind leader of the blind, a wolf in shepherd’s clothing.
“I hope Reverend Knox’s has faith that goes a bit deeper when the feelings fade and the reality of what he really is supporting hits him like a 747 aircraft.”
Sadly, unless he repents, the reality of his complicity supporting and promoting the genocide of children won’t hit him until he’s dead. How shocked he will be to find himself helpless to fend off the demons that are dragging his soul to the regions of the damned.
Lord have mercy.

God loves everyone, that’s a fact. But just because you love someone doesn’t mean you love everything they do. Love the sinner not the sin. And true love is showing them the right path not blindly accepting everything they do.

God loves women who have abortions.
God loves the children who are killed by abortions.
God loves the abortionists who kill the children.
God loves the preachers who confuse women as they discern right from wrong.
Abortion creates a tragic mess that tempts God’s anger and justice, which are every bit as fierce as God’s love and forgiveness.
The answer, dear preacher, is to repent of the terrible mistake that abortion always is — and to beg forgiveness. It is the duty of preachers to help men and women to see this.

I’m guessing that there might be a little bit of $$$ tied to Reverend Knox’s feelings as well. If he started speaking up for the right of his preborn brothers and sisters to live, he might find his income would decrease. Money may well be the “spirit” that wants to keep him in the dark.
God loves you too Mr. Knox. Please stop enabling others to hurt the women and kill the children that God also loves.
You state that many of your colleagues decided to get involved with RCRC after witnessing “a complete lack of compassion” in today’s conversations about abortion among people of faith.
Yes, let’s have a dialogue, Mr. Knox.
What words of compassion do you have for abortion survivors? What words of compassion do you have for the children whose moms were pressured/coerced/threatened/beat up by others who wanted their mom to kill them? What words of compassion do you give to parents who chose Life in spite of difficult circumstances? What words of compassion do you have for children who have been told that they should have been aborted? What words of compassion do you give to the families and friends of a woman who died as a result of legal abortion? What words of compassion do you have for the child who medical professionals recommended be aborted for various reasons? What words of compassion do you give to parents when they realize aborting their child was the biggest mistake they ever made?
Come here and have a conversation with us. We’re friendly.

Mind you… God DOES indeed LOVE women who have had abortions. NOT b-e-c-a-u-s-e they have abortions; but in spite of the fact that they have murdered their babies– whom he also loves. He also expects women to love their babies as much as HE DOES. To love their babies so much– that they refrain from murdering their babies. How sad & shameful that Harry Knox is unwilling to give women– and men– the WHOLE COUNSEL of God. > EPILOG: By presenting only partial Truth, Harry Knox is bearing False Witness ABOUT the LORD… and TO the women.

Undoubtedly, we’re all eagerly anticipating the “Reverend” Harry Knox’s ongoing series of inspiring “God Loves” theses & sermons, including: “God Loves Nazis Who Have Holocausts– Especially Hitler” -and- “God Loves Jihadi Terrorists Who Fly Jetliners into Skyscrapers” -and- “God Loves Heretical Pastors Who Have Apostate Theology.”

God loves women who have had abortions.
He loved them enough to die for them and He loves them enough to long for them to repent of the sin of abortion and all of the sin that led up to that decision. He loves them enough to set them free from the spiritual bondage that abortion brings. He loves them enough to offer them grace and mercy and forgiveness when they are broken over what they have done. He loves us enough to never leave us where we are.
I will forever be grateful to God for rescuing me from the darkness after my abortion. Thank you Lord!!
