How does one square pro-life and anti-welfare?
Liberals complain that abortion foes are pro-life only until the baby is born. But killing human beings to avoid poverty is a sickening argument.

It's amazing how many people are eager to use Jesus' commandment to take care of the poor with public welfare, but when it's time to talk about his command to spread the Gospel, it's separation of church and state!
Many people don't understand that Christ came to save people from sin (John 3:16), not poverty. Find out how welfare undermines His mission.
The Bible tells us over and over to give to the poor. But we need to ask ourselves, are we giving in a Christian way or have me made a mockery of charity?
There are three kinds of poor in the world: those who can't help themselves, those who are down on their luck, and those who won't help themselves. Since a Christian should be able to discern between the three and help accordingly, this post serves to provide a simple definition.
There’s a lot of discussion about helping the poor through government programs. We’re told, if you’re a Christian you will support helping the poor through welfare, and if you don’t, you aren’t a real Christian. While I understand the argument, it’s never sat well with me. I think that’s because it doesn’t take the discussion deep enough. It’s a surface argument, a jab, for one group of people to get another group of people to feel bad for their position.
