“For many white evangelicals who led the pro-life movement, the end of Roe v. Wade marks a long-awaited and celebrated outcome. But for Black Christians whose political views on life extend beyond a single-issue fight, the sentiment is more mixed.”
So writes Amethyst Holmes as she reflects on the recent overturn. Her perspective points to an important truth: when a momentous event occurs, there are going to be many nuances to people’s responses.
In an effort to share wisdom and insight, and to invite each of us to consider what it looks like to consciously advocate for life in a changing world, we’ve rounded up several Christianity Today articles on the overturn, the pro-life movement, and what it looks like to participate in creating a culture of life. We hope they help you think Christianly and love well.
