ABORTION HOUSE DIVIDED?

In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus tells a group of slanderous opponents, “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand” (Mark 3:25, NIV). This passage may often come to mind as a warning against division among fellow Christians, but today I am saying “Amen… may it be so!”
Last month the New York Times ran an article titled, “How a Divided Left Is Losing the Battle on Abortion.” As you can imagine, the Times piece reads in many ways as a lament and does not delve into what a base and bloody “procedure” abortion is. Still, I say, “Amen!” There are few more deadly, dark, and powerful fortresses of evil in our society. Let it fall!
The crux of the article is that the erosion of abortion “rights” are not simply due to what the writers seem to think of as sneaky political maneuvering of the far right. They point also to an abortion movement that became too comfortable with favor from executives like the Obama Administration and drifted into divided purpose and strategy.
The article points to a rift between Planned Parenthood, the behemoth of the abortion industry, and (what are portrayed as) struggling independent abortionists who do much of the dirty work in many communities with apparently little of the money. Planned Parenthood’s extreme disregard for human life and dignity, as well its focus on money, power, and politics, are well known to pro-life advocates. However, it is interesting to see smaller abortion groups similarly point out the sins of what one of them calls “the big pink elephant in the room.” This debate about power versus patients is rocking the pro-abortion alliance – a battle that surfaced in the messy firing of Planned Parenthood’s leader Leana Wen in July. Wen, who was in her post less than a year, apparently wasn’t sufficiently politically motivated like former president Cecile Richards. It shouldn’t be missed though that the Times journalists mention that the independent abortionists are for-profit businesses.
Is there a “good guy” in this dispute? No. Let us pray that forces of greed, pride, and division continue to bring down this house of darkness that has plagued our nation. May its strength not resurge.
Sign up for a week of prayer points from national prolife leaders, starting January 19, 2020, Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.
Let us also pray for light to shine within the walls of darkness. We shouldn’t forget the testimony of Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood clinic director whose eyes were opened to the evil of abortion and has now become an invaluable pro-life voice as this year’s Unplanned movie attests (watch this spring’s IFA First Friday Prayer with Abby here.)
On that note, I was struck by a quote in the article from one abortion activist who is attempting to compete with true patient-serving pro-life pregnancy care centers. “If all we do as an organization is pay for abortions for low-income people, we are eugenicists,” she said. I’m not saying this woman has already turned to the light, but perhaps there is ray of hope that truth is shaking dungeons of lies and self-deception? Let us pray for such shaking in the spiritual realm that will bear fruit for a culture of life in the natural.
The March for Life is next week. We are asking you to intercede over this powerful national event, a demonstration in the nation’s capital that will display ever increasing strength and unity around the vision of a pro-life America.

Father, may the hearts of the fathers be turned back to their children. May praises be the increasingly prevalent sound from Your people as they turn to see Your goodness and power for life.
May those bringing the gospel to the pregnant women be filled with Your Spirit to touch their hearts. You’re the GOD of hope. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done.
May the mouths of the lions be silenced, in Jesus’ mighty name, be glorified, amen.
Father God, I’m praying that millions upon millions of people will bring their focused prayers of ending abortion to the foot of the cross. I pray that the walls of Planned Parenthood come crumbling down and their workers walk toward life (Jesus) and away from death. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Amen!
Father of life we come before you and we cry out against abortion. We thank you for Abby Johnson, Jeanne Mancini, LilaRose, and all the pro-life movements who are on the frontlines fighting for the preborn. We pray and contend for the ending of abortion. Father I pray unify the body of Christ, but bring division among the abortion industry. Let there be no agreement in the enemy’s camp. Lord bring an awakening to the world,let every eye see abortion for what it truly is…shedding innocent blood. Roe V. Wade was passed due to lies, it all began with a lie. It has continued to grow with the lies of “women’s health.” This is also another massive lie of the industry. Father we pray that the truth would be uncovered. Let your truth dispel all the lies. Let your light shine,piercing the darkness. Father we pray even for the salvation of those who perform abortions, that we would see an increase of them walking away from abortion altogether. Let us see more and more “Abby Johnson’s” who know the truth firsthand and will share with the world.
Father we come to you as the giver of life, the God of all flesh, finish what you started Lord. I do not just pray Father, I believe we will see Roe V Wade overturned. In Jesus name, Amen.
I have been praying for many months for God to sow division and discord in the Democratic party and in the ranks of abortionists, whom they support, and this article is an encouragement that my prayers are in the process of being answered.
Am reminded of Solomon’s decision when two women claimed to be the mother of the child and he ordered the child to be given to the woman who was willing to give the baby over to the other woman rather than see her son killed. As with the woman in Solomon’s time, we pray Father GOD, that YOU would give YOUR victory to the people, men and women alike, who are pleading to YOU for baby’s lives. We cry for these precious little babies, LORD. We weep for the loss of these beautiful children, and we pray for those women who are being tempted to have an abortion that somehow they would encounter YOU before they agree to the murder of their child. I thank YOU GOD for the little baby my daughter and her husband were able to adopt because the birth mother chose LIFE for her son; he has become the source of great joy and happiness for us all.
Amen, we have adopted babies in our family also. A treasure. Bless the moms that choose life . Honor God.
After Roe Wade falls, May we rise to the challenge of caring for the women who would have aborted, and their babies that need good mommies. God, even now, please rise up compassionate preg centers and parenting help to restore families, strengthen marriage, and bring Biblical morality to our land. May marriage be held in honor!
We pray against all manner of sexual sins that have wounded and shamed so many. Bring us to repentance Father God. Turn the heart of our nation back to you. We repent on behalf of our nation for our sexual immorality and the resultant blood shed by abortion.
Amen and Amen!!! How it must grieve the heart of GOD to see the lust for money and power cause the torturous death of millions of babies. So many lives mercilessly snuffed out before they could experience life and fulfill their GOD given destinies.
PaPa we stand with YOU against the enemy of Life and declare this stronghold of death be destroyed in JESUS NAME!!!
Father, we pray in Jesus’s name for child sacrifice to be struck down in the United States, & all over the world. Open eyes & hearts. Forgive us for our complacency. Help the Church to arise against this atrocity, this blood in our hands as a nation. Have mercy on our land.
Precious heavenly Father,
We know how important life is to you. You knit us together in our mothers wombs with plans and purposes you desire to fulfill. We repent of our sins and ask that you cleanse this nation from this curse murder in the womb and out has brought to this nation. In Ezekiel 36;25 your Word says I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Holy Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statues and to carefully observe My ordinances. As you remove the strongholds of fear and deception that many use to keep this curse alive in this nation may you also lift the veil from our eyes, and give us ears to hear what your Word truly says about filthy lucre and the murdering of the innocent. We cant stop children killing each other till we address this issue, and be the example for our children and our children’s children how important life is to God and how displeasing it is for us to decide when to end it as if we know more then He does.Please move quickly on the hearts of those that make excuses for the very small percentage of times there is a medical reason. Expose these tests that put fear in families hearts of different birth abnormalities that aren’t even there. For those Lord that have chosen this I pray that they would realize theres always forgiveness and peace through the Blood of the Lamb that was shed for all sins. Your Love covers a multitude of sins. In Yeshuas name Amen
Even after Leana Wen was removed from power, she still hasn’t changed her tune. Both Wen and Cecil Richards deserve to have their names remain on my wall of shame on Facebook and remain shamed until there is proof their sins have been absolved by a Priest.
Only GOD can absolve sin!
Amen. Thank You, Lord, for working and moving and answering prayers! This is a giant battle, and You are the only One who can win it.
Lord, overturning Roe v. Wade is needed, but it isn’t enough. As those who oppose themselves say, even if Roe were overturned, there would still be the fertilized eggs routinely destroyed in fertility clinics. There would be pregnant girls and women being held in unhealthy environments. There would be new mothers who need training in how to live godly lives and raise healthy, godly children.
Lord, this is a much bigger battle than any of us can see, but You are able to do exceeding abundantly above all we could ask or think. Please save the lives of these babies and the lives of their mothers. Change the hearts of all our people, so we see Your goodness and believe in what You can do, and we no longer resort to politics as our salvation. Give us each boldness, courage and obedience to obey Your leading by the moment.
Please send another Great Awakening. Thank You, thank You, thank You for Jesus and the complete victory You won for us in Your death, burial and resurrection. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Amen!!
I agree with you, Brenda, in Jesus’s Name.
Praises Be To Our Faithful God Almighty ! He has heard our cry for the babies as We have heard HIS cry! Thank you Lord Jesus and let us not give up the fight. Battle on dear warriors for the right and truth ! Amen
I am in agreement with you Brenda b.
I stand in agreement with this prayer!
God’s will be done!
Amen. May God’s will be done and the evil of abortion and murder of our children fall.
Father mooooove mightily as only You can to shake down these thick walls of darkness that seemed impenetrable, yet what are they compared to YOU? Father bring down those walls and strongholds just as You did with the Wall of Jericho. Bring them a’tumblin’ down, and open hearts and minds to what is righteous and to shirk those dark deeds done in darkness that sheds innocent blood, which are one of the seven abominations, in particular, that You abhor, and that is the shedding of innocent blood. Bring YOUR righteousness and justice in with this new year. You reign! We sing Your praises! IN the name of Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of You, the living God, the God of the living, amen!!!
AMEN! I am in agreement Brenda B. with you in prayer.
