Pro-life Christian musician Danny Gokey urges his followers to "fight for those who have no voice." He also has a message for ladies who have had abortions: there's hope for them, too.
"I am pro-baby and pro-mama, 100% of the way," Gokey said in a video released on Saturday by pro-life organization Live Action. "If you're watching this and you've had an abortion, know this: that you are loved, you are accepted and you have a place at the table - and Jesus' blood can wash away that wound and scar."
Faithwire noted Gokey's statement where he said that abortion in the United States totals 2,363 newborns daily, and this equates to more than 860,000 per year. Thus, it's the singer's hope that his message would inspire others to speak up for the rights of unborn children.
"I believe that, with God's help, that we can fight for life, and fight for freedom for these babies," he stated.
Gokey also urged people to visit 2363.org, a Live Action campaign aimed at informing the public about the legality of abortion in the United States.
"Share with people they can choose life, how God is for them - not only for the baby, but God is for them," Gokey continued. "And that God can take care of all the fears that they might have."
