Some well-intended pro-lifers say we shouldn’t preach to the choir on abortion, that is, reach out to the Christian community. But according to a new Pew Research Center report, the so-called choir is largely in the dark when it comes to abortion. During an 8-week period, Pew researched 50,000 online sermons from 6,000 churches. Sadly, only 4% discussed abortion even once, and when they did it was barely mentioned. One-in-five congregations in evangelical Protestant, historically black Protestant, and Catholic churches heard a pro-life message. It was only one-in-ten for mainline Protestant congregations. Smaller congregations were more likely to hear abortion tackled. Thankfully, when it’s addressed, it was almost unanimously for life.
