It’s time for another installment of the New England Baptist Church sign. Is it me, or are the messages getting a little more confused over time? This one is a little out there and I’m still not quite sure what to make of it. Questions? Yes, I have some questions.

I’m still trying to figure out just what the call to action in this message is. It’s pretty clear to me, given previous messages on the sign, that Pastor Michael is making another anti-abortion argument. However, the message can be construed in several ways. The most obvious interpretation (to me, anyway) is this one:

If you have an unwanted pregnancy, have the baby and then give it to the New England Baptist Church

But then there’s this word at the bottom of the sign, QUESTIONS. This is presumably a play on the phrase No Questions Asked, meaning that he does want to ask questions. If that’s the case, it a pretty serious dis-incentive to dropping off your newborn. You might as well use an agency that is actually equipped to handle such things properly.

So does he want you to come in and get questioned before you have the abortion?

Or does he literally mean that if you give birth to a baby and want to kill it, you shouldn’t don’t that but bring it to him instead? And then he’ll ask you questions.

I would submit to you that anyone who is unwell enough to have a baby and want to kill it is probably not going to drop by the New England Baptist Church for chat with Pastor Michael.

I might need some help on this one.
