Finland Leader Making International Waves with Pro-Life Proclamations"We have to consider whether we have the courage to act in the face of general public opinion or norms, peer pressure, and sometimes even the law, if these contradict the Word of God. We must obey God rather than men." -Dr. Päivi Räsänen (Helsinki, Finland)—Finland may be nearly half-way around the world, but what's happening there is sending pro-life waves around the globe, especially, it seems, in the state of Minnesota. Meet Christian physician Dr. Päivi Räsänen, Finland's Interior Minister, who has been the target of a recent massive backlash from abortion-rights groups after courageously making a stand against abortion. Earlier this summer Dr. Räsänen caused an uproar in Europe when she used a speech at a Lutheran Church conference to call for a discussion on abortion in her country. Dr. Räsänen compared abortion to 'butchery' and said that animals are better protected under Finnish law than unborn human beings. 'We also discussed the need for a strong and vibrant right to life organization in Finland that can reach across all faith lines and to those outside the faith community with a strong human rights message-especially for young people,' Fischbach said. Fischbach noted that when he and Dr. Räsänen got to Parliament they were met by a rally of young Christian people who were holding a prayer rally for parliamentarians. Dr. Räsänen gave a short speech to encourage the youth, some of whom held a banner on the parliament steps that read 'Youth of Finland Praying,' to persevere in their efforts for their country.
