Executive Director’s Note: The story by the title above is linked to LifeNews.com. It is demonstrative of the way much of the clergy and laity today advocate and work on the side of evil, while also claiming they are Christians.

Jesus warned, “By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?” (Matt. 7:16). Does the Judge of all the Earth, who claims He hates the shedding of innocent blood also condone it?
A culture that encourages every kind of promiscuous relationship for sheer pleasure, but then covers the consequences via abortions in the millions, is nothing less than bestial. And worse still is the minister of God that would aid and assist it – no matter how sweet the smile – no matter how seemingly gracious the demeanor – no matter how supposedly compassionate – no matter how earnest their sincerity.
