Right-Wing Exposed

Unquestionably the issue that right-wing Evangelicals emphasize most is their pro-life agenda.  They have fought against abortion ever since Roe v. Wade became law, and it is their intent to overturn this, what they consider to be, bad law.

My question to Evangelical leaders is: “Are you truly pro-life?”  You are fighting to save the lives of the unborn across America, but what about the already born?  According to the “Feed My Starving Children” organization, more than five million children will die from starvation this year.  And, based on their figures, everyone of them could be fed two nutritious meals a day throughout the year for less than 600 million dollars.

Based on statistics from “The Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches” and “The National Center for Charitable Statistics”, the total annual donated income of Christian churches and ministries in America is about eighty billion dollars.  That means that if every Christian church and ministry set aside just one percent of their annual income to feed starving children, there would be enough money to feed all of them two meals a day throughout the year.

These are already born children who feel the pangs of hunger and who wither away before their parents’ eyes.  While the American Church is sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, can’t it allocate one percent of its massive annual income to save these children?

I am pro-life myself, and personally oppose abortion, but this is pure hypocrisy.  Our secular society would probably be more receptive to hear what Evangelicals have to say about the unborn, once they have established credibility by taking care of the already born.
