In response to President Obama's recent announcement about an "accommodation" to a previous mandate that health plans must cover all forms of birth control, the Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod (LCMS), says the church remains "deeply concerned." The LCMS strongly objects to birth control that can work post-conception to cause the death of a developing child.

  • Thank you, Pastor Harrison, for such a clear statement.

  • Rev. Harrison, who knows but that you have come to this position for such a time as this? (Esther 4:14) Thank you for your strong stance on this issue!! Blessings to you!

  • The battle is the Lords. Carry on Christian Soldier!

  • what kind of birth control kills already conceived children? was obama trying to force the Catholic church to pay for abortions?

  • Thank you for this presentation. It is critical for President Harrison to speak out clearly, directly and often. I am sending this to my pastor in Sherwood, Oregon, my friends, and all the members of our Bible Study.

  • Pastor Harrison thank you for clear statement for life.
