An Interview with Glyn Milburn
Chris Godfrey: Why do you actively oppose abortion?
Glyn Milburn: I actively oppose abortion mainly because for the
fact that I believe it's murder. I think it's not a way of solving a
family problem. Abortion is not morally right, nor is it spiritually
right for us to do.
Chris: When did you first come to this position?
Glyn: I have always felt this way. Ever since I became a
Christian. I think I have spoken more on it in the time that I've been in
college. Simply because that was the time when I was awakened to a lot of
the tolerance that our society has toward the practice, as well as the
opposition towards those who are Pro-Life.
Chris: Was there any particular scripture that stood out to
you?
Glyn: No particular scripture, I think "Thou shall not kill", is
simple enough right there, to make the point.
Chris: Did anybody in particular influence your views?
Glyn: A guy named Randy Jones had a big influence in my
spiritual life. It was at a bible study where we talked about issues such
as that, it really brought it to the forefront and into my thoughts. This
is something that we cannot be tolerant of. It isn't right to kill
people.
Chris: Is there any particular activity that you find the most
effective or meaningful?
Glyn: I think that communication or talking to youths is very
important.
Chris: Would you have a message for young people?
Glyn: Seek the proper guidance from those, such as your parents,
your pastor or someone that has experience in this area and let them tell
you that abortion is not the solution. I've read that people have many,
many emotional scars from that experience that never really heal.
Definitely, before you make a decision like that, you have to weigh all
the options.
Chris: Do you have a message for other athletes?
Glynn: I would tell other athletes to really consider being
involved in pro-Life organizations as athletes. People look up to us and
they are more apt to listen to someone that they look up to.
Chris: Do you have a message for those people that have been
involved in an abortion before?
Glyn: I would say if you've already had an abortion it's going
to be important for you to counsel those who are thinking about it and let
them know that this isn't the solution. I think that a person that's
already gone through a situation is always a better person to explain and
tell people not do it.
