Strategic Focus for Saturday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Protecting our Vulnerable Youth
“The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.”
Proverbs 11:3
Though Teen Vogue, a highly controversial publication, finally closed out its “print” edition, it is now a “digital-only” publication. Creating internet-based content for Snapchat, it has become known for its interactive digital covers, showing their featured “guests” in front of a mockup of the magazine’s original print cover design. The content is first “teased” to viewers on Snapchat Discover, in a series of videos designed to provide a sneak peak to its audience. On this platform, more than 60 % of users are under age 25…and it’s perfect “trolling” ground for those seeking to influence our youth!
Teen Vogue recently published content on Snapchat explaining to teenagers how to get abortions. Their social media series “How to Get an Abortion if You’re a Teen” is based on an article the print magazine published under the same title, in a column called Down to Find Out, by Nona Willis Aronowitz. She addressed teens’ questions about sex, dating, relationships, and all that’s in between. The social media’s audience – all young teenage girls – were offered “help” by this totally unredeemed woman who queried:
“Have a question for Nona? Send it to downtofindout@…
In her column, Aronowitz was “supposedly” answering the question of a 16-year-old girl who was afraid to tell her parents she wants to terminate her pregnancy because they are pro-life. She encourages underage teenagers to tell their parents about their desire to have abortions because “no matter what your parents’ abstract views are, they might behave far more tenderly when their own child needs access to abortion care.” But, she goes on to say, if that is not a “viable option”, the teens will be walked through the steps they need to take… to usurp their parents… in order to terminate a pregnancy.
We pray:
- That we will be able to discern the way in which words are used! Looking at the phrasing above, we see how the godless twist and skew phrases to lead teens where they want them to go. Help us to be able to speak the truth to them in love, so that will follow in the way that God intends them to go!
Here’s the “exchange” in the “advice” column: “How to Get an Abortion If You’re a Teen…it can be tricky.”
Q: “I’m 16, I’m pregnant, and I don’t want to be. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to get an abortion without my parents’ permission, but I’m really scared to tell them because they are both against abortion. What should I do?’
A: “When I was 15 years old, my boyfriend came back from the bathroom post-sex and informed me that the condom had ripped. Plan B was only available with a prescription back then, so I spent the whole next day calling clinics, most of which were closed on Sundays. I obsessed over a potential unplanned pregnancy to my best friend over the phone. I knew for sure I didn’t want a baby, and I was raised with very little shame around sex. So when my morning-after mission failed, you’d think my next step would have been to talk to my mom — after all, she’d fought for reproductive rights since the 1960s. And still I was terrified to turn to her for help. To my relief, my mother eventually helped me get Plan B without judging or admonishing me.
She goes on to “validate” the teen, building her up to believe she has the right to make this decision: “First of all, I’m here to tell you that you have nothing to be ashamed of. Accidents can happen…even to the most careful among us. And it’s only logical that if teens are mature enough to become parents, they are mature enough to decide whether or not they want to give birth. Having access to abortion should be your right, regardless of your parents’ beliefs.
Direction is given for how the young girl should proceed:
- “Your first step is knowing your state’s rules when it comes to parental consent (though there are ways to sidestep those rules depending on what state you’re in — more on that later).
- If you live in one of the handful of states in which a minor can get an abortion without parental involvement — and if you don’t want to tell your parents — you’re all set.
- But if the law does require that your parents are involved, it’s time for some soul-searching about how you think they’ll react when confronted directly with their pregnant child’s desire to not be.”
We pray:
- That our children will not seek counsel from those who do not love them, but rather, use them to forward their own social and political agendas.
- For our relationships with our sons and daughters, that they will be loving, strong and transparent!
- That we might have honest discussions with them about the gift that their sexuality is…a gift from God…one that is to be protected and preserved until marriage when they share it for the first time…with their spouse.
- That foundations laid, and all the teaching and training given over many years of loving them will cause them to run from such ungodly counsel and return to their homes where they will receive Your counsel!
Elizabeth Johnston, the author of the conservative Activist Mommy blog, rebuked Teen Vogue for advising young teen girls on how to get an abortion without their pro-life parents knowing about it. “Unborn children have no rights, but teenage children should have all right to bodily autonomy, including consent to dangerous, irreversible procedures like abortion without their parents’ involvement?”
She noted the fact that the teen…despite her parents’ views…turned to a secular magazine for advice on abortion …saying that “should be a major wake-up call to each of us.” “How is it that even though her parents believe abortion is wrong, those beliefs have not been imparted to her? This should be a sobering reminder not to let the world’s culture raise your children.” Regardless of how the 16-year-old girl found herself in her current predicament, her pregnancy “is the creation of a precious life forged by the very hands of God. That is nothing to be ashamed of, and one would hope that her pro-life parents would tell her exactly that if given the opportunity.”
We pray:
- For Christian parents to believe in God, obey His commands and honor Him in their own lives, and in their counsel to their children!
- That their children will see and hear them modeling righteousness, and they in turn will desire to follow God’s commands…not out of fear, but out of love!
- That those who have walked through situations like the one above will receive the guidance, love and healing that God desires, and that the Body of Christ will surround and support them in their decision to CHOOSE LIFE!

SPECIAL NOTICE! Psalm 133 in action! The 24/7 NSPC has been standing in solidarity with the Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) for the past two weeks, upholding prayer for our nation during the NIGHTWATCH (from 12 midnight to 6 AM.) Tonight, we conclude this assignment in which we joined together to visibly model the unity and partnership in prayer in the Body of Christ, and hand the baton off to the End Time Handmaidens and Servants, who will take their places on the wall! We are grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with CHPP in blessing our nation! To God be the Glory!
Note: We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call. Any time it is necessary, the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over this line and our 24/7 family!
