Who will preserve and protect the most vulnerable people in our society? I’ve talked about abortion on the Fearless Podcast many times. This is one of those topics that people seem to confuse between being a personal/political issue or a Biblical one. But the Bible is very clear – Thou shall not kill. These are four simple words that have literally divided this nation and the churches within it. When Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, the press and social media misinformation was used to scare women. Yet, this “right” has not been taken away and it’s not the only option.
The decision to have an abortion used to be a last resort. Out of desperation or fear, women thought they didn’t have a choice. But now it is championed. It’s paraded. It’s bragged about. It shouted about from steps at our Capitol. It’s become an active form of birth control. Far too many people – Christian or not – have sat silent because we all know someone (whether we are aware of it or not) who has faced this unfathomable “choice.” One out of four women in the U.S. have had an abortion. It’s up to the church to show love and support to these women and children through these difficult circumstances and let them know it’s never too late for God’s grace and forgiveness.
