"You May Choose to Look Away, But You Can Never Say again That You Did Not Know"

Those lines came from William Wilberforce on the floor of the British Parliament in the late 1700's after reading 3 hours worth of horror stories from the lives of slaves. Wilberforce made it his aim to show slavery for the moral evil and anti-gospel institution it was.

Tim Challies pointed out this article, "Planned Parenthood: Our Wilberforce Moment" by Josh Howerton. This is a must read article. It is forthright, clear on the issues, and moving. He writes

This is our William Wilberforce moment: the stories have been viscerally told and people may choose to look away, but nobody can ever say again that they did not know.
He goes on to give 10 short points about what is going on. It is not pleasant to think about this issue, but it is necessary. Especially for gospel people who believe every life is made in the image of God.
