Pastor John and Pastor Jason do not handle the issue of abortion in a trite way. They bring deadly seriousness to it, appropriate to how we should consider this murderous practice.
Yet, a happy, deep ‘yes’ welled up within me as Pastor Jason reached into his pocket, much as Pastor John had done four years before. You’ll see what I mean in this 3 1/2 minute video:
Symbols have power in our lives, and that little reminder of an unborn baby has had a huge impact on my pastors, and they have a huge impact on me.
So I wonder, if a little model can have that kind of impact, what sort of impact does a real child have on my leaders at my home church?
Actually I don’t wonder about it at all. I know the love and regard my pastors have for my son. I know my son has had an impact on how they think about the little ones who come who are different because of disability.
And I know they won’t even hesitate when asked if their pro-life stand includes unborn babies with disabilities and the ones who will die – in fact, they will up the ante significantly by proclaiming, ‘yes, they are GIFTS!’
May all pastors everywhere say the same about the little image-bearers with disabilities in their churches!
The Works of God 
AMEN, John! Tragically, they don’t–that’s why we are at Bethlehem. I praise God for the leaders there who boldly proclaim that ALL unborn children are precious, miraculous image-bearers.
