The Solution to Crime Is Christ

By Rod Anderson, CP Cartoonist Monday, January 18, 2016

One of America's greatest liabilities is crime, not only in the cost of property loss and damage but the lives impacted by lawless acts. The best solution for America's crime problem can be seen when a criminal is transformed through faith in Jesus. In fact, it does quite often, usually under the radar.

Case in point: Hillary Jones of Marysville, California — about two hours north of San Francisco — used to steal. She used to be a heroin addict and was homeless.

Then she became pregnant. Determined to have an abortion, she contacted Planned Parenthood. First, she had to prove she was pregnant.

She told me, "as far as Planned Parenthood goes, if you don't have money or insurance, they won't see you. I needed the verification to get insurance for the abortion."

So she knowingly went into A Woman's Friend clinic, a pro-life center, assuming she could stop up her ears, not hear what they were saying — and walk out with a certificate proving her pregnancy. But once she saw her unborn son on the sonogram, she was sold on giving him life.

The kindness Hillary experienced at A Woman's Friend changed her life in all ways. They really cared about her, and she knew it.
