The beauty of Truth is it cuts through all the self-rationalizing B.S. Your post-abortive co-worker may be a ninny, but evidently she had enough good sense to just shut up when she heard the Truth.
I think you are right that there is hardly anyone so far gone that they do not hear the word of Truth when spoken. That is why it is so vitally needful to speak the word.
Truth is "logical" -- it is Logos. Everything depends on it. What your co-worker will do with what she has heard is up to her. Perhaps she will simply take your "gentle admonishment" as a reason to re-double the self-rationalizing/ideological behavior. But then again, maybe your words will have struck a chord and will give her a reason to "turn around." In any case, we ought to pray for her -- and for her innocent little child that never got a chance to live....
May God ever bless you, dear sister in Christ!

You are so smart and I love you! I note that I ought to have referred to The Rule of Logic and not the "rules" - thank you for graciously overlooking such things in me!
I have had the incredible grace and honor to share my personal testimony of abortion and of salvation with this woman, and she even received a study bible from me! The Lord graciously keeps the door open between her and I: she knows I love her and all that I say to her is in this love of Christ Jesus. She said the other day that she "never knew a woman who wasn't actually pregnant who glows like you do." This is God's Glory!
Thank you for your prayers! I pray always for all my co-workers and do believe Our Very Merciful Father will do all to rescue them, even as He performed all at the cross! With such long-suffering He waited while I refused His advances so many pain-wracked years of my life. He does woo and win the dead in trespasses and sins with His Life, which is Love ( Ephesians 2:4-5 ).
As you see, because of my own experience, I am uniquely qualified to be a messenger of The Great Message to this lost post-abortive woman, and I understand the delicate mighty moment that must come when All Truth is revealed to her and she receives (all in that moment!) the conviction of sin and of Righteousness In Christ the Unseen Seeable One, and of judgment, for the ruler of this world is judged.
