The Christian Response to Roe v. Wade
WHAT WOMEN KNOW
Luke 1:42-44 teaches us that babies in the womb experience emotion.
THE NATURE OF THE MALE
Mark 6:17-24 describes what might be called a stag party, where the incestuous, lascivious Herod Antipas, along with his prominent men, becomes excited by the dance of his young niece and step-daughter.
THE NATURE OF THE FEMALE
The gentlest and most nurturing of our species can become the most deadly (Isaiah 49:15; Proverbs 30:20; Mark 6:17-20).
TWO RESPONSES
By God's grace, when we are convicted of our sin, we can choose to respond in repentance and faith. If we do that we will experience peace.
If we do not do that, we will experience growing depression, bitterness, anger, and murderous rage, as exhibited by Herodias.
THE MESSAGE OF THE CHURCH
True Christianity does not point fingers in heartless condemnation at those who have had abortions; rather, it extends an open hand of help.
If you are anti-abortion, you must be committed to help mothers in need. If not, you're a hypocrite.
The message of the Church should not be simply: "We're going to outlaw abortion so that you will have to bare a child you don't want."
The Message of the Church must be: "Choose Life, and we'll help you."
