The “Stop Abortion” Signs

Is there more to pro-life than holding a sign?

by Ginger Kolbaba

This past Sunday afternoon as my husband and I were running errands, we passed a line of people holding signs along the side of the road.

The signs held such messages as: “Pray to end abortion”; “Lord, forgive our sins”; “Don’t kill unborn children.”

I agreed with every single sign. And I was impressed that every person holding a sign had a real sense of dignity and purpose. They all stood tall and silent. Each face carried deep conviction.

I applaud them for their commitment.

But my husband and I began to talk about that commitment.

“I wonder,” I mentioned after we drove past, “how many of those folks volunteer at pregnancy centers? How many have adopted unwanted children after abortion was stopped? How many help educate and train the women who didn’t have abortions on how to love and care for their babies? How many are involved in caring for foster care children?”

“In short,” my husband said, “how many are actually doing something pro-life?”

Don’t misunderstand, holding a sign is a respectable way to express our convictions. But are we truly living out our convictions when we hold signs? After all, anybody can hold a sign. We sacrifice an hour or so of our time and stand with our message printed on cardboard. Then we go home and continue with our lives as before.
