What is happening in Evangelical land? They are responding to the leaked draft of Samuel Alito’s Roe v. Wade majority decision.
Read the press release from the National Association of Evangelicals.
Christianity Today reports here.
And a bunch of other stuff:
JUST IN: In my one-one-interview at Mar-a-Lago with President Trump, he discusses the apparent Roe v. Wade reversal: "Some people maybe say it's my fault and some people say thank you very much." Also says, "the leak was a terrible thing." https://t.co/HeTfYXdYoQ @CBNNews pic.twitter.com/zFjzzhMHmX

I wish Democrats did more to protect life before birth…
— Shane Claiborne (@ShaneClaiborne) August 17, 2020
And I wish Republicans did more to protect life after birth.
And if my conservative friends were as passionate about life after birth as they are about life before birth, we could also save a lot of lives. https://t.co/QJl4MSmOcK

I wish we had a party that is consistently pro-life…
— Shane Claiborne (@ShaneClaiborne) February 8, 2020
On abortion
On gun violence
On the death penalty
On the environment
On militarism…
Because every human being is made in the image of God. And life doesn’t begin at conception and end at birth.
For every 1 planned parenthood slaughter house, there are 20 pro-life pregnancy centers caring for women.
— Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) May 4, 2022
Conservatives are by far the biggest donors to these pregnancy centers.
Christian are twice as likely to adopt as the general population.
Does this ruin the narrative?
One of the most demonic movements in history. How can people be so blind? https://t.co/0mpqZjT3Pe

Now, they have become so calloused and “woke” that they vehemently defend the right to murder babies in the womb.

My solace, however, is that God still used their prayers and justice WILL ROLL DOWN!! #ReverseTheCurse
When demons manifest in people they aren’t subtle… https://t.co/F3D5JEt0MS

A woman, a black man and the most diverse Supreme Court in history is going to overturn an unconstitutional law decided by seven white men in 1973!
— Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) May 3, 2022
Shouldn’t the diversity police be cheering this on?!#EndRoe #ReverseTheCurse
The demons INSIDE of people are shrieking too!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!! https://t.co/LML2yvbg1d

Abortion is a human dignity issue, but that issue doesn’t end at birth.
— Justin Giboney (@JustinEGiboney) May 3, 2022
Respectfully, no, Mr. Governor. The character of a people is shown by their commitment to protect the most vulnerable, & no ‘right’ includes the right to extinguish the life of another. Protect our youngest women, too. Lead us. Now is a time for conviction, courage, & compassion. https://t.co/20eWvh2RrF

An Alito leak FAQ. Who could have leaked? Why? What does the leak mean for the ultimate outcome? Is Alito's reasoning solid? What are the political ramifications? Your questions answered here: https://t.co/Rpo6JMFbzD

Michael Wear offers some “quick thoughts” on the Alito draft opinion.
Mohler is referenced in White House briefing:
It’s not every day the White House responds to The Briefing. I appreciate this brave reporter and I stand by my criticism of President Biden’s radical support for abortion. https://t.co/NgCkAeFsbI
— Albert Mohler (@albertmohler) May 4, 2022
Denny Burk wrote a piece at Kentucky Today. More Burk:
No, the point is whether it ought to be legal to destroy SOMEONE ELSE’S body. https://t.co/ErZmJrTkOg
— Denny Burk (@DennyBurk) May 3, 2022
Today would be a great day, regardless of what the Supreme Court does or how you feel about it, to think about what it could look like for you and your community, church, and family to support vulnerable children and parents.

One great example:https://t.co/MnehW10zIj
“Roe” is collapsing and millions of lives will be saved because of the millions of evangelicals who voted in 2016 for a President who kept his word. https://t.co/BAuVheRLdI

The pro-life movement is not going anywhere, it’s just getting started. Now is not the time to back down, but to double down. @RHelfenbein #prolife #life #promurder #infanticide #abortion #scotus #supremecourt pic.twitter.com/h5TeIjoUzM

Blast from the past:
I hope this is true but it is disgusting one of the leftist Justices leaked it hoping to intimidate the majority. The left cares about destroying innocent pre born babies more than anything else. #RoeVWade #Abortion #ProLife #TheLeft #SupremeCourt https://t.co/1n3jnMK4sD
— Gary L Bauer (@GaryLBauer) May 3, 2022
It all comes down to what you believe about the organism growing inside the mother. Is it a life or not? If it is just growing tissue then your “choice” makes sense. If it’s a life then it’s obviously not OK to choose to end it. What does your Bible tell you it is? Psalm 139:16 https://t.co/E7dCk6NMmL
— Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) May 3, 2022
If this is the opinion of the Court, it will be one of the greatest opinions in Supreme Court history. It will save millions of lives
— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) May 3, 2022
Abortion can only be considered a form of justice by completely removing the baby from consideration. It isn’t justice, it’s a tradegy that ends a life.
— The AND Campaign (@AndCampaign) May 3, 2022
But other justice issues are at play. It’s time to redouble our efforts in support of vulnerable women with sound policy.
Karen Swallow Prior at Religion News Service. And her response to the critics:

Over 63 million abortions have occurred in the US since Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 /Why it much be overturned! https://t.co/PiwGLWKHTo
— Daniel Akin (@DannyAkin) May 4, 2022
Here is one of Karen’s critics.
Stetzer also defends Prior:
Karen & I were at the same pro-life protest in Buffalo 30. YEARS. AGO.
— Ed Stetzer (@edstetzer) May 4, 2022
We've both been deeply concerned abt the unborn & engaged in pro-life causes for decades.
She was savaged (trended on Twitter!) for her @NYTimes pro-life editorial!https://t.co/fJy3Hlyqjr
But here we are. https://t.co/2hB0siq13D
“One hundred years from now, people will look back in horror at how we treated the unborn for fifty years under Roe…
— Ed Stetzer (@edstetzer) May 4, 2022
Yet, overturning Roe will not be the end of the pro-life movement; it should be the beginning of a more robust, expanded pro-life movement and ministry." https://t.co/AOMXbIfxL0
Biblical description of those fighting to keep abortion:
— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) May 4, 2022
“THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN TOMB… THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD, DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS, AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN. THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES.” (Rom 3)
Make sure you remember all the Christians who said it’s a legitimate moral choice to vote Democrat because Republicans never do anything to end abortion. Some were being played, many were playing you!

As executive director of a conspicuous evangelical organization with many vocal critics on the left—most of whom are heavy Twitter users—it has been fascinating to see how uniformly these critics are handling the Dobbs/Roe leak, with most choosing radio silence on the issue. Why?
— Colin Smothers (@colinsmo) May 4, 2022
Pray that #SCOTUS justices will not cave on their preliminary vote to overturn Roe v Wade. Justice Alito summed it up well: “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.” I urge churches & Christians across the US to pray. The battle defending life isn’t over.https://t.co/eLzQ4bHVVl

"This is federalism. Send it to the states."@MarshaBlackburn and @tperkins discuss the bombshell leak of the Supreme Court Majority Opinion draft in the Dobbs case.

Join me in praying for the Supreme Court justices' safety and courage, for Justice Alito's powerful rebuke of Roe to stand, and for the beginning of a new chapter in the fight to protect the unborn in states across the nation. https://t.co/l8RM3udMpS
— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) May 3, 2022
The leak of a draft SCOTUS opinion has no modern precedent. It is an assault on our democratic institutions that began w/ the “borking” of Robert Bork in 1987. The purpose of the leak is to threaten Justices so they will substitute the demand of the mob for the rule of the law.
— Ralph Reed (@ralphreed) May 3, 2022
This long, dark night may soon end. The unconscionable injustice of extreme abortion policies — aligning the U.S. only with North Korea and China — will be over. Praise God. We must now put the same energy into our mercy as we have our activism.
— Samuel Rodriguez (@nhclc) May 3, 2022
Because of Donald J. Trump, Roe v. Wade will be overturned.
— Madison Cawthorn (@CawthornforNC) May 3, 2022
Just so we’re clear: there’s no such thing as a “safe abortion”
— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) May 5, 2022
While the Court is at it, they should overturn their 60-year-old ruling in Engel v. Vitale and return School Prayer back to states and parents.
— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) May 4, 2022
What better way to combat the sinister presence of trans ideology & CRT in classrooms?
Organize. Seize the momentum. Take more ground.
Watch how many Democrats show up to protest the Supreme Court saving millions of innocent lives and tell me this isn’t a spiritual battle.
