The Claim:
"You Christians only care about lives before they're born, too bad you don't care kids after they're born."
Answer:
Did you know that there are over 3,000 crisis pregnancy centers in the USA, about 90% of which are run by Christians? Also, in the USA there are about 11,000 homeless shelters, most of which are operated by religious groups. Also, 48% of US church congregations (about 150,000 churches) provide some form of food pantry or food assistance program.
Historically, Christians founded the first hospitals, orphanages, homeless shelters, food banks, and crisis pregnancy centers. (Source: How Christianity Changed the World by Alvin J. Schmidt)
Christians are actually those who do the most for those who are already born.
