Quotable quotes
You think youre better than the Germans of that era? Youre not, adding: Whom do we say is not fully human today? I would say the same thing about the unborn. Apart from God we cannot see that they are persons.

February 2012

So those of us who know the unborn to be human beings are commanded by God to love those who do not yet see. Mere waiting and looking on is not Christian behavior. Christians are called to compassion and to action. Dietrich Bonhoeffer We need to know that apart from God we would be on the other side of that divide, fighting for what we believe is right.
