Well, this will be a victory in a spiritual dimension too, which will make it worth it to “shovel up the pennies.”
For v wade will be overturned In our lifetime or later. Killing babies in the mothers womb is the most barbaric practice and we have managed to negate it.
But it is against natural law so it will stop. Of course the second coming and the end of the world will come first but the pressure is on overturning r v w
Libs know it. It’s why they hate the right
I never understood how abortion could have been legalized when the “Greatest Generation” was running the show, or for that matter why they did not stop the cultural revolution of the 60’s dead in its tracks.

Excellent passage, and this passage in fact is yet another one that presages the ministry of Christ.
We have an apparently paradoxical situation now, with all manner of evil in the law of America, and yet God has somehow deigned to send a copious blessing America’s way. But there is more that goes on beyond the scenes that we can not immediately see. God can look forward; God can infallibly anticipate future repentances before they have even happened.
“Natural law” is like a barely translucent window between God and us — at best.
Gospel is the thing that will bring the light (and salt) right here, in great brilliance.
War weariness, perhaps? Fighting wars can entail a lot of moral compromises.
Changing the current “easy sex” culture that generates abortions will be difficult and will take some time.
I saw an ad for a jewelry store the other day. Most jewelry stores run ads that are conservative, and celebrate engagements and weddings and anniversaries (between men and women). This ad featured a young man and a young woman disappearing into a room together and closing the door. The item being promoted was a “Best Friend” ring. The ad seemed to hint that the couple was having non-marital sex. I found it shocking.
I bet it happens, if it happens at all, in Russia before the US. If it happens in Russia, that would be a good sign for the US for sure. I mean has there been a state that got rid of it after it officially accepted it? Russia hopefully has growing religious reasons as well as cold hard secular demographic reasons. They have a HUGE demographic hole in their population due to the abortion rates they used to have.

Many people follow trends shallowly and amorally.
When “the soul feels its worth” before a fresh revelation of Christ to those that God already knows will be willing — then the meaning of marital relationships will follow. One does not easily take what one now deems precious, and do a cheap thing with it.
“What Will Happen When Roe v. Wade Is Overturned?”
Not much. Some states would outlaw abortion, so woman would have to go to a state where it was permitted.
The emphasis then would become trying to get all sates, individually, as states, to ban late term abortions.
You are never going to get NY, Mass, or Californicate to ban all abortions, but a prohibition against late term abortions might stand a chance there.
I really don’t want to debate but I will try to make my point Natural law drives everyone even non believers. No-conscience evil people are not the norm even if they do occasionally try to take over the world. The gospel is for Christians I happen to follow it myself
I never say never even in the situation of earthly hard cases, when a heavenly power has tangibly appeared on the scene.
Gospel believers learn to transcend even the approximations of natural law. Their life is now governed by special supervision of Christ.
The attempt to blur the two is one made by many churches.
I never understood how there wasn’t one state that stood up over it. There was really never any real resistance on any sort of scale. Folks around here wondered why there wasn’t one state to really fight ‘gay marriage’ but if not one resisted over abortion, how likely was it that they would over that?

Wait until 2018 when the GOP has a super majority and control of the Scotus.
I.e. to just tell a society to “rest on natural law” is to actually cheat it of the possibility of gospel progress.
People may have a dim apprehension of God that we CALL “natural law” but that doesn’t make it the ultimate rule.
I always trusted in the Almighty, but still wrote good briefs.....
I once had a “slip of the tongue” and referred to opposing counsel, from the firm of Shapiro, Saatan and Shapiro. as being from the firm of Satan and Satan. Opposing counsel screamed, I apologized, judge cautioned me and told jury to ignore... and at least 4 jury members gave me cute little sly smiles.
Shame on me.
And I know you said you “don’t want to debate” but to try to come to the most exact understanding of the situation possible is incumbent upon all of us. Inexact understandings will mislead us.
We can appeal to the kind of dim consciousness of God that is called “natural law” but even that varies in intensity and spectrum in different peoples. The moment it is set up as some kind of rule in its own self... as though it could self exist the way gospel does... is the moment we attempt to embrace a nebula. All manner of argument can and will be made about its specifics, for that reason. Nothing can substitute for genuine gospel witness.
So let us of course persuade a society through whatever light we can shed upon it that abortion is wrong, and then thank the Lord when it is thus persuaded. However we must not rest. This is only a witness in itself to something greater.
Just because a particular denomination has reified a nebulous concept doesn’t mean that it can stand alone.
They are absolutely right “We need sensible restrictions, nobody needs an AR-15 to kill a deer”, I have always prefered a 105mm Howitzer at point blank range firing canister rounds, works real good on Transi/Lib/Prog/Democrats also.
