Hey, at least ECUSA isn't the only one. . .welcome the Presbyterian Church (USA) into the pro-abortion side

From PowerBlog! [boldface mine]:

"March for Life" or "March for Women’s Lives"?

With the tremendous support over the years for the March for Life efforts, it is no coincidence that the organizers of the counterpart march, which promotes abortion, wanted a similar sounding name to play off of this success. The misnamed “March for Women’s Lives” does just that.

For those of us who are members in the Presbyterian Church (USA) - the PC (USA) has sponsored, promoted and officially participated in one of these marches, but has not sponsored, promoted, officially participated, or even referenced the other. Can you guess which one?

Did the PC (USA) support or oppose legislation to ban partial birth abortions? What about support or opposition regarding parental consent legislation or the Unborn Victims of Violence Act?

Unfortunately, the PC (USA)’s lobbying efforts on each one of these issues matches the lobbying efforts of Planned Parenthood.

In more moves than a contortionist can muster, our denomination tries to accommodate all positions on abortion. However, the lobbying efforts of PC (USA) have been exclusively pro-choice.

This Saturday, the Beaver-Butler Presbytery will be considering an overture which will require the PC (USA) to either equally promote both sides of this issue, or promote neither side at all. . .
