It makes me very sad to see that Thrivent has chosen what they wrongly call a "neutral" position when God's Word speaks very clearly about life in the womb. The Psalmist confesses in Psalm 139, 13 ff: "You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them." God is the Creator or Life-Giver of the unborn baby in the womb. That living but yet unborn baby is precious in His sight as one whom the Lord is waiting to usher into His Kingdom through Holy Baptism after physical birth. May God in His mercy move all of us to trust in the Lord Who has given us life and Who gives life in the womb instead of trusting in those who are committed to the killing of the unborn. Rev.
