Pastor Michael Allen of Uptown Baptist Church in Chicago works with the police to help at-risk gang members. He's convinced that the violence in Chicago and other cities has a direct connection to abortion. Legalizing abortion, he tells OneNewsNow, has created a culture of death in American society.
"If we have legalized death in the womb where a woman can choose to kill her unborn baby, and then we turn around and [tell] these young men [to] put down the gun and stop killing each other on the streets – there's a double message there," says the pastor.
The young men caught up in the violence aren't foolish, he continues, explaining that they see their pregnant girlfriends go around the corner and have their babies killed without their consent.
