My heart feels especially heavy today.
I found myself asking, “How can anyone be okay with abortions in the year 2025?” In a time filled with so many resources, awareness, and medical advancement, it deeply saddens me that the value of life—especially in the womb—is still so often overlooked. Every life is a gift from God. Every heartbeat, a sign of His divine workmanship.
Let’s be real, ABORTION is STRAIGHT-UP MURDER! No If’s And’s or But’s About it!
Anyone who says life doesn’t begin at conception is lying to themselves—and deep down, I think they know it.
That might sound harsh, but I truly believe it. It’s not just a political opinion or some religious talking point. It’s truth—scientific, moral, and spiritual. From the moment of conception, something completely new and human begins. A unique DNA, a soul formed by the hand of God. That’s not potential life. That’s life. It may be small, quiet, unseen—but so is a heartbeat in the womb. And yet we know that heartbeat is sacred.
Psalm 139:13-14 comes to mind again, as it always does when I pray about this issue:
“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.”
If God is the one doing the knitting, then who are we to say it doesn’t matter? Who are we to pretend nothing sacred is happening? It grieves me to see a world where truth is so often buried under convenience, fear, or personal justification. I don’t believe most people are truly ignorant. I think many just don’t want to face the weight of the truth—that what’s being ended in an abortion is a life. A human life. A child known by God.
But even as I write this, I don’t want to come from a place of judgment. That’s not my place. Only God sees the heart. I don’t know every story or every pain. But I do know this: truth doesn’t stop being truth because it’s uncomfortable. And life doesn’t stop being life because someone is afraid to call it what it is.
So I will keep praying. I will keep speaking up for the unborn. I will keep trusting that God’s truth will break through the noise. And I will try—every day—to live not with anger or pride, but with truth in love.
I turned to God’s Word, and it brought me comfort and conviction:
“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.”
— Psalm 139:13–14
How can such a sacred truth be denied? These verses remind me that God’s fingerprints are on every soul, even before they take their first breath. Life is not an accident—it is a divine intention.
Another verse comes to mind:
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.”
— Proverbs 31:8
God, please help me be brave. Help me stand for life—not just in words, but in action. Let me be someone who shows compassion and grace while never compromising the truth that all life matters, from the very beginning.
A Prayer from My Heart:
Heavenly Father,
I come to You with a heart full of grief and longing. The world feels so far from Your design—so quick to discard what You call sacred. I lift up every unborn child to You, Lord. You see them, You love them, and You know them by name.
I also lift up every woman who feels broken, afraid, or pressured. Please wrap them in Your love. Show them that they are not alone, and that there is always hope and healing in You. Let Your Church rise up with grace and courage—to protect life and care for every soul involved.
Help me to reflect Jesus in how I speak, act, and serve. Let my heart break for what breaks Yours, but let my words always be clothed in compassion and truth.
Reflecting deeply on the sanctity of life and the moral implications of abortion

As a Christian, I believe that every life is precious in God’s eyes, and this conviction leads me to assert that abortions should not be allowed to take place in America, or anywhere in the world. Every life, from conception to natural death, holds intrinsic value and purpose.
Biblical Foundation for the Sanctity of Life
The Bible provides clear guidance on the sanctity of human life. In Psalm 139:13-16, David writes:
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” (ESV)
This passage underscores the belief that God is intimately involved in the creation of life from the very beginning. The unborn are not unseen or insignificant; they are known and valued by God.
Furthermore, Jeremiah 1:5 states:
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you…” (ESV)
This verse emphasizes that God’s purpose for individuals begins before birth, affirming the inherent dignity of every human life.
The Moral Argument Against Abortion
From a moral standpoint, abortion involves the deliberate termination of an innocent human life. Exodus 20:13 commands:
“You shall not murder.” (ESV)
This directive reflects the principle that taking an innocent life is morally wrong, a view that aligns with the Christian understanding of the sanctity of life.
Additionally, Genesis 9:6 reinforces the value of human life:
“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image.” (ESV)
This verse highlights the seriousness of taking a human life, as humans are made in the image of God.
Compassionate Support for Women
The Christian community is called to embody Christ’s love by offering practical assistance to women in need. This can include providing resources for prenatal care, offering adoption services, and creating a supportive environment that empowers women to choose life.
Prayer for Life and Compassion
Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the gift of life. Thank You for knitting each one of us together in our mother’s womb and for knowing us before we were born. I pray for the protection of the unborn and for a society that values every human life.
Lord, I also lift up women facing unplanned pregnancies. Grant them wisdom, courage, and the support they need to make life-affirming decisions. May Your love shine through us as we offer compassion and assistance to those in need.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

Amen and thank you for all you shared. I agree that anyone who ends a life by abortion knows at some level what they are doing is wrong. (Yes a sin but most would be unable to accept it as such) some day their worldly rationalizations will no longer work. That’s when caring Christians need to be there to comfort and help them to seek forgiveness. Great post.

Amen! Your post really resonated with me — especially the call to speak truth with both conviction and compassion. I was raised Unitarian Universalist and used to affirm abortion rights, but after becoming a Christian, I had to confront the gap between my values and what Scripture says about life. This post tells the story of how God changed my heart and convictions, not just politically, but spiritually. It’s called “Worthy from the Womb: A UU Case Against Abortion” — and it’s the most personal thing I’ve written so far: https://afterpew.com/2025/03/09/worthy-from-the-womb-a-uu-case-against-abortion/

Do you favour state support for children born in difficult circumstances, paid for out of taxation?
If not, don’t call yourself ‘pro-life’. There is nothing worse than a “Christian” (which in practice means someone who DOESN’T adhere to any of Jesus’ ideas or beliefs) who favours life only up to the moment of birth.

Not if you want to be honest, you won’t. Ninth Commandment and all that – lying leads to Hell, right?

Abortion is definitely murder, absolutely! The only way a person who has had or has performed an abortion will be forgiven is by repentance.
But think about this: Revelation 21:8 says: But the cowards, the abominable (foul, revolting, horrible, abhorrent… I’d say abortion is horrible and revolting), murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars – their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 says: “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators (unmarried persons having sex), nor idolaters (anyone, or anything put before God, even self), nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites (that includes acts between married men and women), nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards (how common is drunkenness?) nor revilers (someone who speaks abusively or contemptuously to or about another person or thing), nor extortioners (think of any type of scammer; romance or otherwise), will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Think about it… cowards will end up in the lake of fire.… If being fearful will send you to the lake of fire, then definitely killing an unborn child will, too. While abortion is abominable, the Bible does not say it is the unforgivable sin, even if we wish to think so. In my opinion, I think that those who’ve had or performed abortions and refuse to repent would, in the right circumstance, even murder their already born children, no matter what age, because unrepentant murderers don’t respect human life. Romans 1:28-32 speaks of other sins that will keep unrepentant people, and those who agree with them, out of heaven. People who believe that abortion is acceptable under any circumstance lack moral character and are considered wicked, because they are destroying someone made in God’s image. God says He will avenge wicked acts committed against the unborn. But they can be forgiven if they repent of of their sins. And only God can grant repentance. They can’t bring back the life they killed, but God can and I believe He will. I believe God does not forget those aborted babies.

I respect all viewpoints, and while not a person of religious standing, or a follower of any religion for that matter, I can align with your feelings. Something is being created and whether some higher power created it or not is a highly nuanced topic! I appreciate your openness to technology too, even as someone deeply religious, even if you turned the opportunity down!

I think it is an interesting article and view point. I think there is something to conception at birth, but also see how nuanced it is. Is it better to bring a child into the world where it could not have the best life? Put it up for adoption? Try to raise it? They are complex questions, but critical. If they won’t have a good life, it’s hard to make that choice at the risk of postpartum depression, a change in life style, stresses financially without proper support. It’s hard, and motherly expectations are hard too. It’s really difficult to say what’s right or wrong. Is there a higher power, who knows. I won’t judge anyone who thinks differently than me!
