Pro-Lifers Mobilize to Oppose Planned Parenthood in Rogers

Recently Family Council reported that Planned Parenthood has worked to acquire a facility in Rogers that could be used to perform abortions.

It is unknown at this time when Planned Parenthood might start using the new facility.

Since then, pro-lifers in Northwest Arkansas have begun mobilizing to oppose Planned Parenthood and its pro-abortion agenda.

On Monday pro-lifers in Northwest Arkansas sent Family Council photographs of a mobile pregnancy resource unit parked next door to Planned Parenthood’s new facility.

The mobile unit offers free ultrasounds and other resources that help women choose options besides abortion.

Loving Choices Pregnancy Centers operates the mobile unit and reports on its website that the unit will be located near Planned Parenthood every Thursday.

Our team also has spoken with pro-lifers who are preparing to pray outside the new Planned Parenthood facility in the coming weeks.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider. The organization currently operates a chemical abortion facility in Little Rock. It previously operated an abortion facility in Northwest Arkansas until the summer of 2019.

The group’s political action committee has been active in recent legislative races.

Prior to 2015, Planned Parenthood received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the State of Arkansas via Medicaid.

And Planned Parenthood currently is working with the ACLU to block Arkansas from enforcing pro-life legislation that passed earlier this year.

If you would like to be part of the effort to oppose abortion in Northwest Arkansas, contact the Northwest Arkansas Respect Life Council at nwarespectlifecouncil@gmail.com.

Afghan Fathers Pass Persecuted Faith to Children

Christian Persecution, Current Events, ,
John Stonestreet, Radio Host and Director of the Colson Center

As a father, I often think about what a Christian heritage will mean for my children. I want it to be the source of their peace and strength in times of trouble. But what if I knew it would be the source of their persecution as well? 

On the Breakpoint Podcast this week, I spoke with Mindy Belz about the new dangers for Christians in Afghanistan. A couple years ago, a number of Christian leaders did something incredibly brave: they changed the official religious affiliation noted on their national identification cards. Because they knew that religious identity is passed down from fathers to children, their hope was that their descendents could be born with a Christian heritage for generations to come. 

It was a courageous move, even then. But now, as government records fall under Taliban control, these believers have been uniquely exposed to the threat of violence. Belz told me that she knows of Christians who have received letters from the Taliban stating “We know where you are, and we know what you’re doing.”

This cost of discipleship is not a light one, but the church in Afghanistan is demonstrating exactly what bearing the name of Christ is worth to them. May God strengthen his people in Afghanistan, and give us the same courageous heart.
