Stopping Abortion

How should we think about abortion?

1. All abortion from conception kills a human baby.
2. All human life is created by God and belongs to God.
   Genesis 1:27 - God created man in His own image, Psalm 100.3 It is He who made us, Psalm 17:14 God fills the womb with treasure, Acts 17:25 God gives life, also Psalm 139
3. Therefore, Abortion is murder. God demands life for life (Genesis 9:6, Exodus 21). As humans, babies in the womb deserve the full protection of law
4. Every Abortion has at least 3 victims - the baby, the mother, and the father. Plus, siblings, grandparents, and so. All suffer loss and harm.
5. We must apply the gospel to the mother who has aborted her baby, and to the father who participated by abandonment, encouraging abortion, got a woman pregnant outside of marriage, or was just an unknowing victim.

How did we get here? Because Christian men have not lived as godly men - Psalm 15 describes a godly man - who swears to his own hurt. This means a man must be faithful and responsible. Women often turn to abortion when they feel abandoned. A responsible man who is involved with a woman who becomes pregnant as a result. That man has a life-long duty of care regardless of whether the couple marries because, either explicitly or implicitly, a promise was made.

Godly, Psalm 15 men live in contrast to the ungodly man described in Romans 1, Colossians, and especially 1 Timothy 3:1-5

Christian men living as Psalm 15 godly men is the best road to overcome the evil of abortion - Romans 12:21 overcome evil by good.

We should petition government for a redress of this grievance.

Finally, no man is sufficient for these things. We need the gospel and the Holy Spirit.
