Ultra-conservative Southern Baptists issue a report about their “concerns.”

The Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University clarifies things for us:

Calling us anti-abortion instead of pro-life isn’t the dig the left seems to think it is.

Being anti-abortion is what makes us pro-life. Unlike the pro-abortion crowd, we don’t want children poisoned and dismembered in the womb. So yes, we are proudly anti-abortion.

— Standing for Freedom Center (@freedomcenterlu) January 22, 2023

Charlie Kirk taunts:

Come and take it https://t.co/rVBVZIlQ14 pic.twitter.com/2QMLFkZQnp

— Turning Point USA (@TPUSA) January 20, 2023

Charlie on “one world government” and Alex Jones:

No one wants to admit it but all the talk about a “one world government” has been communicated daily by Alex Jones for 25 years. Credit where it's due.

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) January 20, 2023

Samuel Rodriguez on the March for Life:

The pro-life movement cleared a major hurdle with the overturn of Roe. Today’s March for Life is a celebration. But it’s also a clarion call to those in power: We cannot stop until abortion is unthinkable and mothers and their children are cared for and protected.

— Samuel Rodriguez (@nhclc) January 20, 2023

Gary Bauer on the March for Life.

Tony Perkins defends Tony Dungy:

This is "extreme?" The media may label @TonyDungy an extremist for speaking at 2023 @March_for_Life, but the Dems' party platform & voting record define extremism:
-No medical care for infants born alive after abortion
-Taxpayer-funded abortions
-Abortion on demand until birth https://t.co/eoBvux0Mir

— Tony Perkins (@tperkins) January 20, 2023

Jack Graham too:

Let me add my huge respect and gratitude to God for @TonyDungy The fools (see the Book of Proverbs ) that want him fired at NBC will fail. Character will prevail https://t.co/EZ5rWm6fSR

— Jack Graham (@jackngraham) January 21, 2023

Dungy apologizes:

This past week I posted a tweet that I subsequently deleted. I issued an apology but not everyone saw it. So I am reposting my apology here. As a Christian I want to be a force for love to everyone. A force for healing and reconciliation-not for animosity. pic.twitter.com/esew5wjUyD

Tony Perkins and Owen Strachan on the “pastor story hour”:

A Dispatch from Pastor Story Hour@ostrachan highlights the pastor story hour he hosted and discusses the spread of these events across the country.

Mike Pence’s book tour comes to John Hagee’s church.

It’s all about voting:

So, while your other pro-life efforts are valuable (volunteering, persuading, etc), if you’re not voting for anti-abortion candidates (who, 99% of the time, are Rs), you are an obstacle in the fight to legally protect the right of preborn babies to not be poisoned or dismembered.

Colorado Christian students at the March for Life:

Colorado Christian University students have descended on Washington DC and we are here for the national March For Life. @March_for_Life @CentennialCCU @my_ccu @CCUAlumni  #WhyWeMarch @CentennialCCU pic.twitter.com/O2zVdeRSB0

James Dobson: Still more work to do:

Even though Roe v. Wade was overturned last summer, we still have much work to do. The speakers at the March for Life on January 20, 2023 will set the tone and direction for the pro-life movement going forward. View the livestream on our website and Facebook page. pic.twitter.com/DIo2ZU33pM

Franklin was at the March for Life:

Thousands of anti-abortion rights activists gathered on Friday for the first “March for Life” rally since the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade. For many Republicans, including possible presidential candidates, this moment is a crossroads on abortion policy. pic.twitter.com/AKvAPG9kWp

Getting ready for suffering:

In particular, he has made us ready to endure suffering and to love those who hate us. Which means no matter how much they hate us, we must not respond in kind.

"But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you…"

-Matthew 5:44
