Sanctity of Life
There are four major issues facing the church today. Two of them are owned by the political left, and two of them are typically owned by the political right.
- The sanctity of life
- The sanctity of marriage
- Justice for the poor
- Racial justice
As Christ followers, we are called to own all of them. It’s not about partisanship or any political agenda. It’s about following Jesus and allowing him to inform the way we respond to the world we’re in today.
What is abortion? The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy most often during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy but not restricted to that (a mother can feel the child moving by 20 weeks).
From Planned Parenthood: “In the first trimester. In clinic. A doctor or nurse uses medical instruments and gentle suction to remove the pregnancy from your uterus.”
Abortion pill: “You take pills that end your pregnancy and make your uterus expel the pregnancy tissue.”
The question is not whether it is a human. The question is whether it is a person or not. And a person, by law, is ascribed basic human rights.
If you are pregnant and wondering where to get help, there are many Christian organizations who are there to help not just children inside the womb but children who are outside of the womb. These organizations are there to support these mothers in crisis and help them through the entirety of the journey. There are also countless people waiting to adopt an infant at any given time.

Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
