Luther Seminary's 'Reproductive Freedom' Article Warns Prolife Responses Will Be Deleted

5/13/2022

4 Comments

 
The Luther Seminary student newspaper published a proabortion article highlighting a letter which instructs "Faith Communities in Working for Reproductive Freedom." (read here)

Luther Seminary is a institution that trains and teaches people who are seeking to become pastors in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. 

On the Luther Seminary "announcements" page is an announcement about the reproductive freedom article and the corresponding letter (screenshot below). That announcement contains this statement:

"​Special Reminder: Your classmate’s bodies are not topics of theological debate. The comment section of this post will be a place to share your learning. It is not a place to express anti-abortion sentiment. Any comment that breaks this boundary will be deleted."

Prolife comments are not allowed. 

In the letter that Luther Seminary's student newspaper is promoting is this statement:

"it is important to recognize that the opposition to abortion access has always been about a lot more than abortion. It is about enforcing racism and white supremacy, patriarchy, and ruling class power." 

You can read the letter here.

​Rev. Anna M Madsen describes herself on her Twitter page as "An ELCA Rev Dr...as a Christian I resist Trump." Here is her tweet about abortion and Planned Parenthood.

@realDonaldTrump @MikePenceVP as an ELCA pastor & public theologian I support abortion rights and @PPact precisely to preserve lives.

Pure Evil

12/18/2013

1 Comment

 
As the The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod invites members "to join two marches this month to show their support for the sanctity of life" (see here) you hear and see nothing promoting the protection of unborn children coming from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  In fact, the ELCA supports the killing of unborn babies. Evil has taken over this denomination.

How anyone who is pro-life, who believes children in the womb should not be burned to death and ripped apart limb from limb by abortionists
remains in this denomination is beyond me.

March For Life

1/16/2013

1 Comment

 
I highly doubt any of the 66 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America bishops will "March for Life" or promote the cause in their synods.  The ELCA's support for abortion (see here) and lack of support for any pro-life causes should be proof enough that it is not a denomination to be part of.

Planned Parenthood welcomed at California Lutheran University

12/4/2012

Below is part of an email sent by Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America:
. . . .But there is still work to be done and lots of it if we are going to end all abortions in our lifetime. Right now, the biggest challenge our team is having is not with liberal, public universities but Christian, private colleges!

Just last week our West Coast Regional Coordinator, Casey Vroman, went to one school, California Lutheran University, and was told that a pro-life group would not be "accepted" at the school because they were "inclusive." Ironic isn't it - an "inclusive" school doesn't include pro-life beliefs. The school official told Casey that Planned Parenthood is frequently welcomed on the Christian campus and that a chastity program isn't needed but free condoms are put everywhere on campus, including the cafeteria!!

Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion Goliath, is welcomed with open arms at this Christian school but your Students for Life isn't!

Casey won't be giving up. She is going to focus a lot of her time in the coming months to find a few pro-life student leaders at the school who can work from within to get a pro-life group started in the upcoming spring semester.

But sadly, this school is not alone. Casey is struggling with another school right now, Westmont in California, who is giving the pro-life student group a hard time, and I have been working with another student in Michigan this fall who can't get her pro-life group "approved" at her Christian campus!

In Opposition to God - The ELCA's Pro Abortion Position

1/26/2012

0 Comments

 
_It is unacceptable that the ELCA, a denomination calling itself “Christian,” supports and pays for abortions.  (see here)  It is a policy and action that is in total opposition to our Heavenly Father.

Christ-followers need to speak out for life and work with pro-life organizations to stop the genocide of the unborn. 

_
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalm 139:13-16

ELCA Hospital and Abortion

1/12/2011

Here is a quote from an article by Robert Morrision posted by the Family Research Council.

"ELCA co-owns a Chicago hospital called Christ. It was there that nurse Jill Stanek discovered little victims of live-birth abortions who had been placed in the broom closet in cold metal pans-there to gasp out their young lives in the darkness. Jill held these suffering children as they died, praying for them and singing to them. For her pains, Jill was fired by the administrators of this hospital." (read here)

For more information about the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's true position on abortion visit Exposing the ELCA on Abortion.

Here is a video of Jill Stanek giving her story about what is happening at this ELCA/UCC hospital -

    "Then he (Joshua) took a large stone and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of the LORD.

    'See!' he said to all the people. 'This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.'
    Joshua 24:26-27
