The need for a coherent biblical perspective on abortion
As Christians, we are called to view the world through the lens of Scripture. Yet when it comes to the issue of abortion, an alarming number of Christ-followers have adopted views on abortion that are inconsistent with biblical teaching and more closely resemble the culture's postmodern perspective.
In the time since the Dobbs SCOTUS decision brought an end to Roe, we’ve gotten a much better idea of where the American public, including too many Christians, are on the question of abortion. Generally, they are subjectively opposed to it, but they’re hesitant to deny it to others.
A post-Dobbs national poll from a pro-life organization indicated that while over 80% of Christians believe abortion is morally wrong, over 60% of these Christians also believed a woman should have the right to choose abortion. Ballot initiatives across the nation reflect this moral contradiction. The results beg the question — either a significant percent of Christians don’t know what an abortion is, or they have no concept of what the words “morally wrong” mean. Or perhaps, they are blissfully deceived or ignorant about the humanity of the unborn.
