More About the Women's March and the ELCA's Participation

1/23/2017

“On Saturday, thousands of women dressed up in vagina costumes and descended upon DC to demand, among other things, free birth control and abortion. They called this the "Women's March," but I think that name is a terrible insult to women. The women closest to me in my life would rather die than put on a vagina hat and march through Washington in support of the mass slaughter of children.” – Matt Walsh (read here) 

And that's not all. Check out this article about one of the organizers of the gathering, Women’s March Organizer is a vicious Jew-hater with ties to Islamic Terror
(see here) 


The ELCA had a strong presence at the Women's March.

What kind of "Christian" denomination or person would take part in this kind of event? It was a pro-abortion demonstration that also embraced such things as LGBTQ rights, BlackLivesMatter, illegal immigration rights, Palestine and Muslims. And the glue that held it all together was anger against President Trump.  

​As I reported last week Elizabeth Eaton, Presiding Bishop of the ELCA, was in Washington, D.C. last weekend and was scheduled to take part in some Women's March activity (see here). And of course there were many social media posts by ELCA pastors and members voicing and displaying their support for the march. Here are a few of them.

Most of you know the ELCA's favorite pastor and best-selling author Nadia Bolz-Weber. These two posts by Bolz-Weber show you the state of the ELCA.

ELCA Pastor Kathryn Irwin of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Nutley, New Jersey writes on her Facebook page, 
"Today I marched and rallied in Trenton, alongside a staggering number of New Jerseyans, and in concert with folks around the country and the world." (see here)

Pastor Irwin also shared some pictures of the signs they made for the Women's March:

For many of you, this is your denomination gladly partaking in this vile, hateful and evil demonstration.

At least they are marching under the banners of refugees, rainbows, and R-rated language, not under the cross, so that people will not mistake them for Christians. But I am sorry that a very few of them are still dragging Jesus' good Name into their folly. I don't think that will last long, because their agenda seems to be ABC -- Anything But Christ.

Perhaps like many of you, I had some reservations about voting for Trump. But now it makes me feel much better to know that I voted against people like these agit-prop fanatics.

Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.....Any HUMAN that wears a "PUSSY HAT" and REPRESENTS ANY CHRISTIAN, let alone a "LUTHERAN" should be TOTALLY ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES! Any Christian that SUPPORTS UPHOLDING ANY of the policies that President Trump is attempting to change with regards to abortion, illegal immigration, gay marriage, and lawful behavior....is NO CHRISTIAN! May GOD have MERCY on their SOULS....and may God give them renewed discernment in keeping with His Scripture!

The Women's March was monolithically pro-abortion. No wonder the abortion-funding ELCA loved it.

Conspicuously absent from the march: the 29 million girl babies whose lives have been snuffed out in the womb since 1973. If the Women's March attendees had functioning consciences, they'd ponder the more than 1,500 female babies destroyed per day whose tiny feet will never get the chance to march.

"Yes, the Women’s March Was Absolutely Pro-Abortion" -- https://churchpop.com/2017/01/22/was-the-womens-march-really-neutral-on-abortion/

". . . one thing is clear: the organizers of the march were explicit that the march was pro-abortion and the event itself celebrated abortion.

"The purpose of the Women’s March was not hidden or vague; the event’s website has a page explaining the purpose of the event. While several issues are listed, the promotion of abortion is clearly stated. Under the title “Reproductive Rights,” it reads:

“We believe in Reproductive Freedom. We do not accept any federal, state or local rollbacks, cuts or restrictions on our ability to access quality reproductive healthcare services, birth control, HIV/AIDS care and prevention, or medically accurate sexuality education. This means open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people, regardless of income, location or education.”

I am struck by the posters that say "resist hate" and the like.

How can you hate anyone more than if you kill them?
