The legislature has formally retracted the proposed expansion of these policies. We have succeeded in our objective to protect these lives and will remain vigilant as we monitor future policy shifts.

“But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.'” Isaiah 43:1 ESV
We watched, stunned and appalled, the joyful reaction to the New York legislature and Governor granting the expansion of rights to take an unborn child’s life up until the moment of birth. We have watched silently in previous years as Alaska, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont legislatures have done the same. We continue to watch politicians in Virginia, Illinois, and other state legislatures throughout the country advocate and applaud death as a solution to difficulty, disguising it as “health care” and “reproductive rights” while abandoning the real needs of our neighbors.
But “life” is not a political issue. It is a gift from God.
Psalm 146:3-6:
Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever;
We, as servants of Christ and in love to our neighbors, are compelled to speak these truths:
- We proclaim that Almighty God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – creates, redeems, and calls every member of the human race as His treasure forever; that Jesus Christ died to forgive sins and rose to defeat death; and that nobody’s age, appearance, experience, ability, or history can improve or impair this sanctity of life.
- We will courageously and compassionately proclaim God’s Law regarding life.
- We reject as evil the wanton taking of human life at any age, stage, or level of ability.
- We refuse to settle for killing as a remedy for anyone’s suffering.
- We will proclaim God’s grace and forgiveness to those who have committed sins against life.
- We will welcome and walk alongside our neighbor in their sufferings and difficulties.
- We will support in every possible way those who minister to people in difficult life situations.
May God in His grace, omniscience, and omnipotence grant us the wisdom, strength, and ability so to do.

As a Lutheran Pastor (LCMS) I very much appreciate LFL and all its efforts to encourage pastors to stand among their flock and boldly proclaim the sanctity of every human life. Thanks for your support! May God continue to bless this special ministry.
My prayer is that our people would become angry enough to be active in the pro-life movement How sad that we in America have murdered over 60 million babies! If the followers of Christ had been active we would never have gotten to that number. Praise God for Lutherans For Life and their ministry.
God creates, redeems, and calls every human life as His own precious treasure forever. Every person's infinite and eternal value comes from this and not from age, appearance, or ability.
My life's work as a Public Health Veterinarian and human health researcher, makes me abhor the political culture of death in our country and the world. As a Christian, it is my duty and also my response to God's love to help fight for the lives of those vulnerable individuals of all ages.
I stand in opposition to abortion, but I also stand in opposition to all assaults on life in whatever form they may take. I believe, as Joseph Cardinal Bernardin taught, in a consistent ethic of life.
God is good
Abortion is Not healthcare, it's cold blooded Murder

Watched jubilant reaction of Governor Cuomo and legislature like it was something out of a future Twilight Zone episode. A celebration of the killing of babies in the womb. Just unbelievable!
