We, the undersigned Christians of Idaho, oppose Proposition 1. We confess one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We receive human life as His gift.
God the Son became man in the Virgin Mary’s womb. His Incarnation calls us to honor human life from its beginning. From conception, a child is one human being, body and soul, bearing God’s image. Even the smallest human body is the body of someone.
“This is my body, which is given for you,” says Christ. In the Holy Supper, He gives us Himself that we may live. The cry “My body, my choice” reverses that gift. The innocent preborn child is made the scapegoat, his or her death offered as the price of another’s freedom. The bloodshed of abortion is a demonic assault on human life made in God’s image. Here we see a false sacrament.
From her earliest centuries, the Church fed the poor and received strangers. Our churches and homes are open to women facing difficult pregnancies. We will give our time and what we have to care for them and their children. If you have had an abortion or encouraged one, you can come to the Church and find mercy. Christ calls us to repent and promises forgiveness to all who turn to Him.
Only Christ, through His Church, can heal our land. There, the Holy Spirit brings us into communion with the Father through the Son.
We oppose making the destruction of innocent preborn human life a protected right.
My mother was raped. I'm still here because she chose not to abort me. Save a Life!
