How would you respond to people who say that it is a waste of time being involved with pro-life activism? They say that Christians should be focused on telling other people about how God saves people from their sins. They would also say that it does no good to convince someone that abortion is wrong if they are going to wind up in hell when they die. I have heard people say these things and I just wanted to know how you would respond to that?

Question about Pro-Life Activism
Collapse

-
People do two things regarding the laws:
They get an indication that something might be acceptable because it isn't illegal
or
They get avoid doing something which might be harmful because it is illegal
The activism can help steer people away from a casual decision to act in sin. So the ministry of pro-life activists may be a step in the right direction in saving a person from their sins.
The issue about 'hell' doesn't make sense in that we don't know whether (or when) a person will come to Christ. And many Christians, even when trying to evangelize, don't directly see many people come to the Lord. So, we always ought to spend our time as best as we can with the abilities that God has given us -- that can be in pro-life activities -- which also can be outreach for people's salvation.

We should do that in ADDITION to our other pursuits - it's not an either/or.
I have, personally, and as part of a group, convinced numerous women not to abort their babies, and some of these have actually accepted Christ as Savior, and will be raising their babies as Christians.
I must be about my Father's business.

Unless these people are involved in eating, sleeping, and otherwise 24/7 evangelism and nothing else, they have no room to speak, and I doubt they are."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

This is getting close to debate. Careful folks.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
