CHRISTIANS AND THE REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE MOVEMENT
I received an email this week from a seminary encouraging me to join their Reproductive Justice Movement. They weren’t encouraging me to follow Jesus. To pray. To seek God. Each of their emails has encouraged me to follow after “social justice” narratives rather than biblical narratives. They have completely abandoned their original purpose for a “woke” agenda. And they are not alone.
Exactly what is “reproductive justice?”
According to “The Public Health Post,” It is centered around the “legal right to access reproductive health care services like abortion and birth control.” They believe the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade represented “a watershed moment” that cemented a woman’s right to choose whether to have an abortion or not.
Biden’s administration has certainly wasted no time in advancing a liberal, no restrictions, pro-death agenda against unborn children by increasing funding, access to, and availability of abortion. They believe this is “reproductive justice.”
Pelosi is now pressing to “codify” the law, which means to pass federal laws that would have the same effect as Roe v. Wade, so that even if it was overturned, abortion would still be legal and available. They want to ensure that abortion services would be free from “medically unnecessary restrictions” that “interfere” with a patient’s individual choice or the provider-patient relationship.
Obviously the “patient” is not the baby.
The pro-choice movement often uses the slogan, “My body, my choice.” Based on that statement/logic, they can do whatever they want with THEIR body. But then the baby should also have “my body/my choice” rights. And no doubt their choice would be to live. That is why in a suction abortion, medical professionals have stated it appears the baby is doing everything in its power, in the small confines of the womb, to escape the deadly suction which will end its life.
As with many Left-leaning strategies, reproductive justice is strategically named to create the image of a righteous cause to mask the true agenda. Yet no matter how you try to reframe it, abortion is evil. This is what is now termed “reproductive justice.”
The definition of “justice” is: the quality of being just, impartial, or fair, the principle or ideal of just dealing or right action, righteousness.”
Let’s go a step further, the word “righteousness” is defined as: acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin, morally right or justifiable.
It is rather easy to see that “reproductive justice” is not based on a righteous or moral law. Abortion doesn’t free from guilt, it creates guilt. Most women who have had abortions will tell you that guilt is something that haunts them. According to psychologist Trudy Johnson, who writes from a pro-choice perspective, “The majority of the women I’ve worked with have never told a single person about their abortion. This oftentimes even includes the father of the baby, which can sometimes actually be the husband. It has been my experience in my private practice that it takes at least nine hours of therapy before a woman will admit a past abortion. The average time frame I see for women finally being able to process the emotions and grief around their choice is at least fifteen years after the fact.”
As the Biden administration pushes to make abortion free and easily accessible, let us remember there are two victims in the scenario; obviously, the baby whose life is abruptly ended, but also the mother who is encouraged to kill her child by those who care nothing about the true physical or emotional health of either “patient.” After the deed is done, the women are left to struggle with the horror and reality of what cannot be undone.
May the “woke” recognize that there is no justice in “reproductive justice,” only death and emotional fallout for years to come.
Lord, lift the deception of this “reproductive justice movement” so the truth of what they actually stand for will be revealed clearly. We pray for those involved who fight for the right to kill a child and believe their cause is just. Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do. Lord, we pray that the legality of abortion will be reversed. But more than that we pray that You would bring revival for sin to be recognized for what it is.
We pray for mothers, that they would again have a mother’s heart and for fathers that they would have father’s heart. For if that is true, they would never seek to kill their children, but would seek to protect them. You said You would turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. May that day come.
Lord, deception, pride, and selfishness continue to cover our land. Remove this blight and forgive us. We ask You to remove from power those who try to inflict these laws upon us. Lord, we pray for a miracle.

Thank you for this piece! The Lord is with you. Gracious Heavenly Father, Forgive this land for its grave sin against You. It is child sacrifice for convenience sake. I pray a strong conviction on people who are complacent on this issue. I lift up those who are lost and confused. Open their eyes to truth. Change the hearts of many to love our offspring. Help them to think of what might have been if only a chance was given. You will not remain patient nor silent with us much longer. You have been long suffering since 1973. There is no true justice when we kill Your babies. Thank you for the many who worked so hard today as I watched live stream the virtual March for Life. Thank you for their commitment. I also thank You for the small group who later went to the Supreme Court to have their voices heard, peacefully. Multiply this movement, dear Lord. I pray for women/girls who are planning on having an abortion in the coming days. Help them to change their minds, Lord and save their babies. To see truth and have the conviction in their heart’s to do the right thing. Bless and provide for all the Pregnancy Distress Centers who are eager to help. We pray in our Savior, Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Any land which legitimizes the murder of its most innocent surely cannot see God’s blessings continue… we repent for the grievous wrongs of our country.
Lord, May those who want to justify the death of the unborn, see the truth and be changed to defend the innocents .
Amen
Lord, I pray for our leaders to hear our prayers to protect the unborn and be convicted of their plans to continue to kill the innocent unborn, of their “right” to live! I pray for salvation for these leaders and all who are involved with them, to know you, Lord and your love for ALL, even the unborn!!! In Jesus name, Amen!💖🙏🙏🙏
AMEN! Abortion is an evil in our country. God is displeased and we must continue to pray it is outlawed. Judgement is what we reap both personally (those who abort their baby) and our country that allow and makes law to uphold such a barbaric and heathen practice. God, have mercy on women and the men who give concent to abortion. Then, on our nation for it’s part in legalizing murder.
I think there are three victims as we consider the fathers who don’t seem to have much say in these situations.
I would also ask for prayer that the Lord would increase the number of pregnancy care centers across our nation…a form of “righteousness” that “springs up”. And that He would continue to protect and bless the many such centers that already exist to serve women and men facing pregnancy decisions with ultrasound services and truthful information about abortion and it’s risks…all provided with the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. We pray for laws to be changed, but even if the law were to be reversed, there will still be women and men facing unexpected pregnancies who need to be loved, cared for and supported. Pray that God pours out abundant resources to sustain such centers so that their services may continue to be accessible to the women and men who need them most. Pray that individuals will be called to give…of their finances and their time…to express their faith through love in actionmany centers are continually in need of volunteers to help carry out their services. Pray that the Holy Spirit would lead those vulnerable to abortion to such centers that they might encounter the truth of the Gospel that brings heart-transformation.
Check out the pastor/senator Warnock?? from Georgia where they stole yet the run-off election Jan 5th.
He is pro-choice. And will stand in congress in support of the right to choose.
He is a charlatan pastor because he knew the whole election was a fraud, yet he went along.
To add insult to injury he had so named gospel artist “lacrae” supporting him.
A reply to his Twitter claiming to be a pro choice Pastor – well God is pro life so she wondered who he worshiped in his church. I agree- a demon in pastoral clothing in my opinion.
Justice needs no modifiers. Put certain words before it and render it meaningless. Reframing is better called polishing a turd. God give us honest hearts and straightforward language. Give us a love for life and for our children. Judge us with righteous judgement and remove every wicked and deceptive thing. This is the request of your bride, fill is with a love for you and an intolerance for foolish even. Restore what has been stolen.
Father God, how precious in your sight are the babes and children of the world, the hope of the future and the hope of mankind. I pray every baby sown in the womb is protected and treasured by the mother who carries this precious cargo. May every baby be considered as Your handiwork. In Jesus’ name.
I recently watched a movie on Netflix about a prominent singer who had quite an impact on the ERA movement of the late 70s early 80s. I was a young nurse at that time and pretty ignorant of what the movement stood for. When I watched the movie I was convicted and saddened as I realized how many Christian woman didn’t take a stand for life of the unborn and wellness for their mothers at that time. It was about “MY rights”. I had to repent. I wonder how many other women who were active in the ERA at that time, but also professing Christ-followers might need to repent as well. No doubt we opened the door for what we are seeing as a tragic situation in this hour. Could it be that we valued having the availability of a pill to determine our own reproductive ‘rights’, over the value of God’s word and the power of the Holy Spirit to stay within His biblical guidelines? On my knees…
Appreciate your humble confession.
Dear Heavenly Father God, the Lord of all creation, we
give you all thanks and praise that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. You knew each of us before you formed us in our mother’s womb. You know the plans that you have for us. One of hope, blessings and a future. May Satan’s smoke screen of lies be blown away from our nation and that our vision will be crystal clear. May our nation’s covenant with death be broken and that we will choose life. There is no liberty and pursuit of happiness without life.
We pray for our local pastors, youth leader, older men and women to support life, parents, and biblical families.
We pray for conversion of hearts 💕 for all those who support the abortion industry and for all those considering an abortion.
We pray for healing for those who have experienced the pain and loss caused by abortion.
We pray that those facing an unplanned or crisis pregnancy would choose life for their child.
We pray for grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, fathers and siblings who are affected by the loss.
Father God you tell us in your word that children are a blessing and an inheritance from you. Please forgive us as a nation for not valuing but rejecting these most precious gifts.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Some prayer points were taken from Life Chain Central Indiana.
Saw Senator Lankford’s wonderful speech in senate about the abortion issue. He had pictures from the womb of pre born children and asked all as he pointed at the faces,10 fingers & 10 toes and asked repeatedly is that a baby???
May God be with all the mother’s that opted to kill their child for selfish reasons and also, for those who thought there was no other way out. We know, Lord, that we are all precious in your sight and if we sincerely ask for your forgiveness, you are faithful and just to forgive us.
Lord there is so much deception, pride and selfishness in today’s society. People are more sinful than I ever remember.
God I understand that You are angry over abortion. I hope someday soon people will be more compassionate and respectful of life. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Wonderful Article Karen!!!
Watching Andrew Womack last week, there is a movement afoot Nationwide to pass Janet Porter’s “Heartbeat Bill” in every state. Missouri is to be highly commended for what they have done. However, as watchmen/intercessors, we need to be vigilant – 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”
The facility in Illinois is a PLANNED-PARENTHOOD MEGA ABORTION MILL built to not only handle Missouri abortions, but also bus women in from States in the South who passed legislation prohibiting/limiting abortion!!!
IFA needs to reach out to Christian TV stations, Catholic Networks, etc. and offer the link to IFA’s wonderful “Contact the Politicians” App to expand the active participation in fighting this battle over the lives of the innocent. All messages need to include scriptures such as:
“My prayer for President Biden is that Ephesians 1:17,18 become dynamos: “1:17 May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perception, to bring you to full knowledge of him.
1:18 May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his call holds for you, what rich glories he has promised the saints will inherit”
President Biden must recognize the evil of abortion.
Lord Jesus Christ, You took our human nature upon Yourself. You shared our life and death, our childhood and adulthood.
You also shared our time in the womb. While still God, while worshipped and adored by the angels, while Almighty and filling every part of the universe, You dwelt for nine months in the womb of Mary. You were our Redeemer in the womb, our God who has a preborn child.
Lord Jesus, we ask You to bless and protect the children who today are in their mothers’ womb. Save them from the danger of abortion. Help all people to recognize in the preborn child a brother, a sister, saved by You, our Redeemer in the womb.
In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”
This will be a witness to whomever(staff member?) receives the message even if it doesn’t get to the politician themselves…
Liberty Lament
Can you see me as I stand tall,
My eyes overlooking all.
A woman representing liberty,
Yet so many children never free.
Long ago a gift from France,
I see child who will never dance.
A freedom torch I raise high,
While American children continue to die.
It is suppose to represent light,
Yet darkness far from out of sight.
“Land of the free,
Home of the brave”,
How can it be,
Millions of children we never save.
Life, liberty and justice for all,
The American lie, how far can we fall.
No equal protection under the law,
As unborn children get a bad draw.
Beyond the darkest shade of black,
America’s best, stabbed in the back.
The crack widens in the Liberty Bell,
Can you hear the applause from hell?
The American Lie
I looked at the U.S. Supreme Court,
Thinking about the children we abort.
The lie on the building is all I saw,
“Equal Justice Under Law”.
Blood dripping from each word,
Tiny tears need to be heard.
America tries to hide her shame,
There is no one else to blame.
We deny them justice in a hurry,
No trial, judge or jury.
Our country imploding from within,
Innocent blood our national sin.
Tiny caskets from East to West,
Just may have killed America’s best.
Change the sign on the Supreme Court,
Before another child we abort.
A little truth would go a long way,
Let the children have their say.
“No right to life for the preborn,
Discriminated against, hearts torn.”
Oh my goodness. Could you send this to my e-mail address so I can print it off? It is [email protected]. This really says it all!
I decree that God will help us to pray and take the action that Jesus Christ our LOrd directs in coming against this abomination. The illegally spilt blood is crying out and I do trust our Lord and savior to bring justice and to direct us in this process. No king but Jesus Christ our LOrd. I ask for wisdom for the ekklesia or remnant to be sensitive to the LOrd’s direction. I pray over all church leaders to be obedient to what our LOrd and savior directs them to do even if it brings persecution. Lord please give us a bold spirit to obey you at all costs because you know what is best and you defend the most vulnerable and expect us to be faithful to your purposes.
Thank you God for your Love to all you created. Thank you Lord for turning the tide away from allowing this killings to continue and for each mother facing this choice to choose the blessing of children.
Bind the enemy. in Jesus’s name I a sad k you to hear and move. Amen B an Amen
Hope to write Congress. Sent Emails to Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week and Dr. & President Biden this week urging to reconsider government paying for abortions, because feels I am paying a hit man when pay taxes. By labeling human in womb “non-human”, many rationalize OK to kill baby. Similarly, Nazis thought they were purging gene pool of “less-human” Jews, following survival-of-the-fittest world view (a sort of religion) of Evolution hypothesis they took as true. Been enjoying seeing ultrasounds of friend’s baby who flees pain in womb. Praying for repentance. Want government not to further abortion. Margaret Sanger, like Phaoroh in Exodus 1, got scared of overpopulation and loss of power and being attacked, so came up with genocide method. Placement of Planned Parenthood buildings in black neighborhoods is form of genocide
If it was a Catholic seminary that was espousing the Reproductive Justice Movement, they should be closed immediately and those seminarians deprogrammed. This is a problem in the Catholic Church. I pray for all those who are faithful Catholics and Christians who believe that it is moral and just to vote for candidates who support and vote for abortion on demand till the moment of birth and beyond in the name of women’s health issues and reproductive justice . We need to be clear that they are euphemisms for taking a human life in the womb. May God have mercy on us and our nation.
I was shocked to recently discover the morning after pill is sold over-the-counter at places like Walmart. So shocking and heartbreaking.
Oh Lord my heart cries out for all the unborn babies their blood that plaques our land that cries out to you and my own heart.The Lives that could have been. May those that are considering this realize the repercussion last for all of eternity. Wipe this blight from our land open eyes to see what this really is …Murder.
Father God we pray that injustice will shut its mouth (Job 5:16) and Stobb hijacking vocabulary to justify wickedness.
And I just read an article about a Catholic nun and activist who vigorously supports Biden, Pelosi and their pro-abortion legislation; I’m quoting here from LifeNews.com:
“Sister Simone Campbell…speaking at an event hosted by the National Catholic Reporter, said Biden’s approach to the abortion issue is “very developed”…. Campbell refused to condemn abortion in an interview last year. She also prayed at the Democratic National Convention and worked with pro-abortion House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to support Biden’s presidential campaign…Campbell, the executive director of the Network Lobby for Catholic Social Justice, criticized pro-lifers who have a “political obsession” with the “criminalization of abortion.”
Liberals have lost their minds.
And, as a disclosure issue only, I myself, I’m ashamed to say, had an abortion forty years ago. I actually thought I was being “responsible” since I felt too immature to have a child and had no support network.
I never even realized what I’d done until the Holy Spirit convicted me when I was saved thirteen years ago. That’s how blind some of us can be.
And I cry about my abortion to this day. The psychologist in the article above said it takes 15 years to come to terms with the grief of having an abortion. She’s right, and I think some of us may never get there.
I wish someone had intervened with me years ago to prevent my abortion, so that is what I pray for for other women today. And I am so heartened by the Pregnancy Crisis Centers that have opened across our country in recent years. They would have SO made a difference for me, I believe, but there was nothing like that years ago. And I read that there are more Pregnancy Crisis Centers in our country currently than there are abortion clinics, so that is VERY encouraging! (Although Kamala Harris attacked them as the Attorney General of California, so I assume the Biden-Harris regime has them in their sights now.)
Thank you for your input and your ongoing fight to save others from what you experienced. We know God forgives but some women never forgive themselves. The Bible says that in the last days he will give the wicked over to a reprobate mind. That “sister” is there having completely abandoned the values she supposedly took as a nun and Catholic. They reveal they truly have no belief in God when but are Catholics or Christians in name only. Lord may their eyes be opened before its too late.
Thank you, Karen. The only thing that makes having had an abortion bearable at all is knowing the Lord has saved my beloved precious child in Heaven (“…leave the ninety-nine on the mountain and go in search of the one that is lost…” ~ Matt. 18:12)
And I know the Lord have forgiven me; the Holy Spirit let me know.
And forgiving myself is probably a luxury I don’t deserve.
But I too, pray that the deceived have their eyes opened.
And I very much enjoy your learned articles here at IFA, Karen. I’m also sending away for your book “Infected.”
Thank you again, Karen. God bless!
So very sorry that no one was there for you years ago to speak truth and provide support. Jesus is your healer, comforter, and complete Redeemer! Victory! He has turned your ancient mess into a message of hope and encouragement for others. Thank you for your prayers for Pregnancy Help Centers. I have been privileged to help found one – Charis- which means grace.
Harris is also the AG that has persecuted and prosecuted David Delaiden, the undercover reporter who exposed PP for selling baby body parts. Her soul, created by our loving Savior, has been sold to the devil. May she repent before it is too late.
Barbara, WOW! Thank you so much for Charis. I tell my husband that Pregnancy Help Centers are the best idea anyone has ever had. You have helped so many young women and their babies (and the families those babies will have when they grow up!) that we all owe you a debt of deepest gratitude.
Thank you also for your kind words. They do mean a lot to me.
And yes, Kamala Harris is beyond scary, and one can only hope she repents. I do fear she will continue to attack Pregnancy Crisis Centers as VP. These are such terrible, trying times.
But thank you again for your compassionate words; God bless!
An excellent book that looks at all the aspects of our culture and social justice is We Shall Not Be Silenced by Erwin Lutzer. As Christians we need to educate ourselves in the deception that has crept into our Churches. It’s worth the read and prayer.
This “Seminary” should be named and not be allowed anonymity.
Auburn Seminary
Which seminary? If you don’t know your enemy, how do you fight?
It was Auburn Seminary. But unfortunately many who now teach this narrative to unsuspecting students.
This breaks my heart!!
Lord Jesus, please open mothers’ and fathers’ eyes to the selfishness of their actions in the destruction of their families and children. Heal their hearts with Your great love and mercy. Forgive them for they know not what they do. I thank you, Lord, for giving me the courage and strength to choose life for my eight children when the world was teaching me otherwise! It was BBC a hard walk but a blessed one. Help me to teach the young women to love their babies and choose life for them. In Jesus name, amen!
May truth penetrate every heart that is deceived. We cry out for justice in our land!
Oh God, protect our babies and children.
In the mighty, precious Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Oh Lord, how long must we wait? Come in, Lord! Redeem & heal those who have had abortions. Open their mouths to cry out and prepare hearts to hear and repent.
