- Prolife
Isn’t it true that at the time it was passed, most evangelicals were silent in response to Roe v. Wade? So doesn’t that give doubt to their sincerity in opposing abortion now?
Yes. In the three decades I’ve been involved in the prolife movement, I have never once heard someone make the claim that evangelicals mobilized in direct response to Roe v. Wade. On the contrary, many of us have publicly bemoaned the fact that we did NOT do so. We were several years late coming out of the gates.
The first time 7-year-old Emily Bausch met Norma McCorvey, she had no idea she had come face to face with an icon of the pro-abortion movement—”Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade. To Emily, “Miss Norma” was just another person who needed Jesus.
