About Presbyterians Pro-Life While most other pro-life groups focus on legislation and the political debate, Presbyterians Pro-Life is different. Our focus is on the Church. The central truths we hold as Christians should determine how we understand life-issues and how we minister to those who face pregnancies under difficult circumstances and those who have experienced abortion. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) currently has a policy on abortion which states that Presbyterians hold a variety of viewpoints about abortion and that there is disagreement among Presbyterians about when a human life begins. Like most mainline Protestant denominations, our denomination actively engages in abortion rights advocacy and is a member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Presbyterians Pro-Life (PPL) is not a part of the structure of our denomination. Instead, PPL is an independent, nonprofit corporation made up of members and pastors of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and is a voice for renewal in our denomination. With the Christian Church throughout history, we believe that God, who made us in His own image, has forbidden us to shed innocent blood. PPL is committed to strengthening the bonds of family love and nurture, and to protecting innocent life. PPL offers a variety of written resources to the broader Christian community to help Christians approach matters of life and sexuality from the perspective of biblical faith. The text of many of these resources is available at this Web site.
