PROP 1: If too political to talk about, shame on you

| September 25, 2026 1:00 AM

I am writing to the members of churches who believe it is appropriate for the church to stay out of politics. Are you one of them? I am writing to leaders of churches who believe you shouldn’t talk about politics from the pulpit. Is that you? When the topic of Proposition 1 comes up, I’ve heard the excuse, “My pastor doesn’t do politics.” What?!

This initiative advocates abortion under the guise of healthcare and a mother’s health. Aborting a baby is antithetical to biblical standards. Idaho law already protects a mother whose life is at risk. If you, as a member of the clergy or a congregant, believe that the issue of abortion is too political to talk about, shame on you. Speaking up for the most vulnerable should be shouted from the mountaintops.
