“A recent shocking poll shows 32 million church-going Christians are planning to sit out this election, which will determine whether abortion extremism spreads across our nation,” said Students for Life of America (SFLA) Kristan Hawkins. “Now is not the time for the faithful to be complacent or uninformed about the power of the religious vote to prevent the intentional killing of children in the womb. Our goal with Standing With You’s Standing With Her Sunday is to equip pastors nationwide to discuss abortion with their congregation, which is a human rights atrocity that’s not merely a political issue, but a Biblical one.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (10-18-2024) – The Pro-Life Generation’s (PLG) Standing With You (SWY) initiative is launching Standing With Her Sunday to equip pastors and church leaders on how to navigate a divisive election season in which abortion is at the center of a national fight. The human rights atrocity of abortion becomes even more extreme in this election, considering that ballot initiatives setting up late-term abortion in states like Arizona, Florida, Missouri, and Nebraska could be a death sentence for preborn children who can live outside the womb.

“Sitting out a Presidential election because imperfect people are running is not the moral high ground,” said Hawkins. “Pastors and church leaders need to be empowered to take critical action, leaving behind abortion passivity and choosing to stand boldly for Life. This is why Standing With Her Sunday was created: not only to empower women to choose Life, but to equip church leaders.
The Pro-Life Generation (PLG) is no stranger to the difficulty and opposition of discussing abortion, especially during a contentious election season. Our Standing With You initiative is preparing pastors and church leaders everywhere to educate their congregation on the preborn lives at stake in our own backyard. Lives depend on them accepting this crucial challenge.”
