Our Mass Delusion: No Lives Matter
By Deborah Hollifield, PPL Executive Director
Presbyterians Protecting Life is a Christian organization with a Christian mission: “Compelled by the Gospel, PPL equips Presbyterians to champion human life at every stage.” What is unsaid in our mission statement, but which is true by extension, is that “every stage” includes every developmental point on the spectrum of life from conception to natural death, regardless of any particular attribute or ability possessed by any human life on that spectrum. We have published extensively on matters involving all methods of conception, contraception, circumstances of birth, varieties of adoption, birth anomalies, suicide and end-of-life issues. We have addressed matters of race surrounding the eugenic beliefs and methods of Planned Parenthood in communities of color, highlighting the disproportionately high number of black children eliminated by abortion, which is rightly deemed genocide. Whatever the topic, we have addressed it scientifically, ethically and theologically, particularly regarding the image of God borne by all human life.
