One thing that annoys me to no end is fact that Christian humanitarian agencies often ignore the plight of the unborn. I care passionately about the poor, exploited and marginalized of the world but I cannot separate the unborn from that class of people. World Vision has a justice arm of their organization that holds the URL "seekjustice.org". Their slogan is "seeking justice for the world's poor and marginalized people". I've searched their site up and down and there is not a word about the unborn. This is supposedly a Christian organization. You can email to complain about this at seekjustice@worldvision.org. This is not the only organization that I've seen like this. I haven't found one organization that is both defending the unborn and helping the poor and oppressed that have survived to birth. I think that the way that the church is largely ignoring this holocaust is causing the unborn to continue to die and will result in God's judgment. Consider the following verse:
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot! So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth! Rev 3:15,16 NET
So to turn this more personal, I'm going to ask you what you are doing to help the unborn. If you just hold a pro-life position and do nothing to help the unborn then you are no better then a German during the Jewish holocaust that watched his neighbours being led away to concentration camps and did nothing but remain personally opposed to it.

If you don't do that, then you are virtually condemning those who are born to hell on earth. Be more concerned with that than what people are doing in their private lives.
