No Christian is required to cooperate in evil. To resist a government like Stalin’s or Hitler’s is a positive moral action.

” Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:29

Peter to no less an authority than the High Priest when told to stop preaching Jesus as the Messiah.

Exactly right. Government may allow abortion, but we do not need to overthrow it. A government that COMMANDS abortion has commanded disobedience to God and ought to be altered or abolished. BTW, the abortion laws can be changed through legitimate means and ought to be done so. (Lest anyone think I am in any way pro-abortion, which I am Not.)
