Title: The Methodist Church and Abortion
Topic: Methodist Church and Abortion
Discussed by Mark Tooley
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do
nothing. - Edmund Burke
I have interviewed Mark Tooley with the Institute on Religion and Democracy
many times over the past two decades. I have often wondered why he doesn’t
just give up – give up on the Methodist Denomination. Mark Tooley and others
with the Institute on Religion and Democracy did not give up and now
there is fantastic news!
The Methodist Church has been a supporter of the woman’s right to choose an
abortion since before Roe v. Wade. In fact, Mark explains that the Methodist
Church even created the “The Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights”
to counter the Catholic Church’s efforts to stop abortion. There have been other
organizations over the years which the Methodist Church has formed in support of
abortion, but that is all hopefully about to change now.
Listen in as Mark Tooley reveals the details of the recent vote at the United
Methodist General Conference concerning this issue. He also discusses the gay
marriage debate within the church and his opinion on the chances of a church
split in the future.
