I am shocked at this developement, but not surprised. Lutheran fraternal insurance has been a long standing benefit and tradition. Thrivent Financial has been gravitating away from its Lutherna roots for a number of years and now has crossed a very troubling line. Should Thrivent insist on continuing in the direction of a company with company directives that are so against what I belive and stand for based on scripture, I will withdraw my contracts as well. I pray that Thrivent reconsiders its actions in light of clear scripture which values every life, born and unborn. In Christ, Dr. Mike Nielsen
