Today is the #MarchForLife: one of the most significant annual demonstrations in America meant to draw attention to the abortion holocaust and the plight of the preborn. This year is the second #MarchForLife since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. But the battle to end abortion in our land is far from over. Here is why:
1). Abortion is Still Legal in All 50 States
You may have heard from pro-life news outlets that abortion is banned in a dozen or more red states. But all of these states have laws saying that officials cannot prosecute mothers who have abortions, even if they willfully and intentionally murder their preborn babies.
2). Women Are Not “Second Victims”.
You may have also heard that women are “second victims” of a culture of death telling them to murder their babies, or that they are “second victims” of parents or boyfriends pressuring them to abort. There are certainly women who are in abusive situations and deserve our compassion. But we have also seen women over the past few years “shout their abortions” and take abortion pills on the steps of the Supreme Court and even on live television.
We actually infantilize women by suggesting they have no idea what they are doing when they willingly take part in abortion. Even worse, we hold them back from the grace of God and the salvation found in Christ. If they are innocent victims of abortion, how could they need forgiveness for their abortions?
3). Self-Managed Abortion is on the Rise
Because of laws which allow women to murder their babies with immunity and impunity, demand for self-managed abortion pills is on the rise. Even though surgical abortion mills may be closed, women can still order poison pills through the mail to murder their babies. Some of the states with the most rapid increases in abortion pill orders are red states like Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, where pro-life lawmakers and their lobbyist allies insist that abortion has been officially banned.
4). The Pro-Life Movement is the Problem
Elected officials and lobbying groups in the pro-life movement are actually the reason abortion remains legal for women in every red state. Every time Christians try to introduce and advance bills to abolish abortion entirely, even in states with Republican pro-life supermajorities where the abortion lobby has no power, pro-life lawmakers are always the ones who kill these bills.
5). Jesus is the Death Kneel to Abortion
Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead for men and women who have taken part in murdering preborn children. If you have participated in an abortion, repent of your sins and trust in him! Western nations submitted to Christ once abolished child sacrifice in history. Only the departure from Christ has led to the return of child sacrifice. Only by the return to Christ can we vanquish child sacrifice once more.
