Description

Identifying and overcoming the obstacles for clergy to help their church in preventing and repenting abortion

These ideas are drawn from a document prepared by the Respect Life Office of Saint Joseph's Church in Kansas City titled The Most Common Reasons Pastors Give for Not Preaching on Abortion

1. Personality or perception - Don't want to be seen as a typical pro-lifer
2. Don't want to be seen as confrontational
3. Don't want to focus on a single issue
4. It's futile, you can't stop people from having abortions
5. Don't want to be political or divisive
6. Don't want to offend women
7. Don't feel equipped--no training at seminary or elsewhere
8. There is no good reason. I simply haven't done it.
9. Sensitivity to those already wounded by abortion

Please share your thoughts and if there are other reasons
