So what? Abortion used to be outlawed, and abortions were committed nonetheless. Murder and theft are outlawed too. You simply can't legislate evil out of existence.
The only sure-fire way to stop abortions is by changing hearts, not the law. If everybody spent as much time spreading the gospel as they do obsessing over Roe v Wade, more babies would probably be saved.
And the same time, imagine the consequences if somehow all sanctions on murder were lifted.
Can you say sudden blood bath?
Social embarrassment CAN cause people to slow down.
No it is not the ultimate way, not the permanent solution. I believe in aggressive GOSPEL attack on the satanic enemy. I mean if we all knew what the GOSPEL looked like from the viewpoint of hell, we’d be sharing it with everybody we knew!
Our public policies should be just, no matter how far you or anyone else has gone towards accepting the Gospel.
That’s what we’re talking about, our laws and our public policies.
Sounds to me like you’re using the Gospel as a diversionary tactic to avoid advocating just laws. That’s not right.
I guess I miss your point. Are you arguing against laws that are not universally obeyed? Are you arguing that it makes no difference to codify murder?
Today we remember the nearly 2000 who died on 9/11, who will commemorate the 5000 who were killed today in their mother's womb? The Prez has a red line for the murder of children by chemical weapons, yet untold thousands of innocent children were killed in America today by a chemical weapon, RU486. Every one killed is a tragedy and every one saved a victory - so what are you saying; that if one is not saved it is not worth saving the rest?
That is exactly why we got Roe vs. Wade in the first place....’hearts’...in America have grown more than cold toward the things of God...they ‘deny Him’ in droves now....the result of this is a nations fall...ALWAYS...and that not without His many opportunities to turn!
A nation apart from God..as we are...will fall....interesting too is whenever biblical nations turned from God they were invaded....and that does not always mean militarily....we have this today with our government encouraging foreigners here who do not return to their home country, rather they bring their whole families here......further our borders are full of illegals passing thru without any opposition or administering the laws we have in place to prevent it.
We have become a nation of ‘regulations’ preventing freedom...and lawlessness because those regulations are used to oppose those appointed to keep those laws.
