31st Memorial of Roe v. Wade Press Conference

31st Memorial of Roe v. Wade
Press Conference

Local pastors, business leaders, crisis pregnancy center directors, and Christians will join Operation Rescue ( America 's largest pro-life activist group) for a press conference and a memorial service mourning 31 years of unabated child-killing. Their purpose: to end child-killing in the city of Charlotte by bringing the theology of the church house into the streets – right to the doors of the three local abortion mills in this city!

It has been 31 years since that day of infamy, January 22, 1973, when our Supreme Court unleashed the floodgates of hell and murder upon this nation. For 31 years we, the Church of Jesus Christ, have learned all too well to passively and peacefully coexist with an enemy that rips apart our children. We have watched him do it and we know it is wrong, but our response has been, “It's not our ministry." NO MORE!

NO MORE, will we passively sit by while little children die. NO MORE, will we wait for the President, the Congress, the Supreme Court, or the Republican Party to save the lives of unborn children. NO MORE, will we peacefully coexist with child-killing in the city of Charlotte!

WE ARE AT WAR!

“Abortion will come to an end in Charlotte , when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind it will come to an end – not one second sooner,” said Rev Flip Benham, National Director of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America. “The responsibility for ending abortion in the city of Charlotte and in America rests squarely upon the shoulders of the Church of Jesus Christ.”
