God-centered resources from the ministry of John Piper

In this week's message, John Piper encourages us to know and feel the weight of abortion even if it means hearing words or seeing pictures that feel too graphic.

He says,

Sometimes you need raw words when that's all you've got, and sometimes you need raw footage if it's available. Because you just can't comprehend it. You just can't believe they're going to do this.

He mentions these two sites:

• Abort73.com
• Pictures of the development of an unborn child

And he suggests that you learn what these abortion procedures are:

• RU486
• Suction Aspiration
• Dilation and Curettage
• Hypertonic Saline Abortion
• Intact Dilation and Extraction

He also recommends calling your local crisis pregnancy center and seeing how you can volunteer.

Here are the two in the Minneapolis area that he mentions:

• Amnion Crisis Pregnancy Center, (952) 898-4357
• New Life Family Services

And if you aren't near Minneapolis, Lifecall offers a list of crisis pregnancy centers by state.

Update: Thanks to Alex for sending a link to some of the crisis pregnancy centers in Canada.
