The Associated Press reported the following:
Religious backers of abortion rights say God’s on their side
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding,” her favorite proverb says, and she returns to it again and again. “He will make your paths straight.”
She believes God led her here, to a job at the West Alabama Women’s Center, tending to patients who’ve just had abortions. “I trust in God,” said Ramona, who asked that her last name not be used because of the volatility of America’s abortion debate. …
The clinic’s staff of 11 — most of them Black, deeply faithful Christian women — have no trouble at all reconciling their work with their religion. …
God is on our side, they tell each other. God will keep this clinic open. …
“We know that Christianity supports freedom, and inherent in freedom is bodily autonomy. Inherent in Christianity is free will. When people talk about the body being a temple of God, you have purview over your body, there is nothing more sacred,” Cotton said. …
“You don’t get to tell me what to do,” Cotton said. 05/20/22 https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-health-religion-alabama-2efb7c0ca49d6d7260773aad5ee956fa
It is sad that many who profess Christianity do not believe the Bible and accept that abortion is the murdering of unborn children.
If you want to be a real and faithful Christian, yes, you are to let God tell you what to do.
God only gives His Holy Spirit to those that obey Him (Acts 5:32). Jesus is the author of eternal salvation for those that obey Him (Hebrews 5:9).
Those who do not believe that, and obey, are not real Christians.
Jesus said “you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him” (1 John 3:15, NKJV).
Abortionists are NOT true Christians.
Furthermore, Christians are not supposed to defile one’s body. Since the AP article alluded to the following scripture, let’s quote it in context:
18. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man may commit is outside the body, but the one who commits sexual immorality is sinning against his own body.
19. WHAT! Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, which you have within you from God, and you are not your own? (1 Corinthians 6:18-19, AFV)
Much abortion is because of sexual immorality. I would further argue that abortion is murder as well as a form of sexual immorality.
The Bible does not support the view that God approves of abortion.
Here is a prophecy for the last days that relates to many abortionists:
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:1-5, KJV)
Abortionists are lovers of their own selves, proud, without natural affection, fierce, and lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.
Those who claim to be Christian abortion supporters, have denied God’s power and “from such turn away.”
The Apostle Paul also wrote the following that applies to abortionists, whether or not they claim to be Christian:
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13, KJV)

15 deadly lies of abortion pushers
November 12, 2017
Lie No. 1: When life begins is unknown.
Science is very clear that all chromosomes, DNA and RNA are present at the moment of conception.
DNA includes more than just the cellular blueprint of your physical body down to the length of your eyelashes. It seems to lay out unique features of your mind, your natural talents, aptitudes and even what dreams are likely to enthrall you.
Lie No. 2: The unborn are not human until they take their first breath.
Science informs us that the unborn child does breathe in utero through her umbilical cord attached to mother.
I once asked an abortionist: After a baby is born, he is holding his breath, right? Yes, he said. So before the doctor spanks him, while he’s squirming upside-down held by his ankles, still attached by umbilical cord, is the baby human before his first breath? No, he answered with much less certainty in his voice, almost robotically. So the baby can be killed at that moment? He awakened to this lie’s absurdity, shook his head and agreed that would be wrong.
Lie No. 3: The mother determines her child’s value.
The fallacy goes like this: Any unborn child is worthless unless the mother ascribes some value to him or her. If she prefers to finish a college course before giving birth, then the baby becomes less valuable and is expendable. After graduation, her unborn child becomes precious.
No intrinsic value exists in early human life; our value is determined by how our birth’s timing comports with our mother’s convenience.
Lie No. 4: Abortions are safe.
There are physical and psychological consequences, some very severe. Check out the research yourself.
Question the validity of resources that ignore the psychic effects of having abortions. After all, we are more than just a body.
Lie No. 5: Infanticide is more humane than growing up poor and unwanted.
Newsflash: Very few kids are told daily how valuable and cherished they are. Most parents are struggling with their own problems and feelings of low self-worth. Many exasperated parents, in moments of selfishness, feel their children are unwanted.
Most well-adjusted people look back with tearful gratitude on the struggles of their parents raising them. How much love existed and dedication to family? Many say they didn’t even know they were poor.
No wonder so many thousands eagerly pay a fortune to adopt so-called “unwanted” babies and children to take on the privilege of being parents.
Lie No. 6: The unborn feel no pain during dismemberment at 5 months.
Much medical evidence exists to corroborate the obvious fact that pain-sensitive nerve cells have formed by this time in a baby’s development.
“The Silent Scream” is a 1984 educational film narrated by Bernard Nathanson, an obstetrician, NARAL Pro-Choice America founder and abortion provider turned pro-life activist. The film shows an abortion taking place of a 12-week-old fetus using ultrasound footage. I could not watch it, but apparently, the baby is seen screaming in agony.
After 20 weeks, no pain? Don’t believe it.

There have long been many lies pushed by the murderous abortion industry.
The Bible condemns those that shed innocent blood, as that is something that God hates:
So you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD (Deuteronomy 21:9).
These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).
Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace (Isaiah 59:7-8).
Thus says the LORD: “Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place (Jeremiah 22:3).
“Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, For shedding innocent blood, And practicing oppression and violence” (Jeremiah 22:17).
Babies are innocent. Killing them is the shedding of innocent blood.
That is evil.
The God of the Bible does not approve of abortion.

Statements from disgraced Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, as well as proposed laws in Illinois, Rhode Island, and Vermont have gotten more to be concerned about infanticide in the United States of America.
