Abortion is wrong.

We agree with you and we stand with you for the sanctity of life, for every life is created by God and known by Him from the womb. We share your grief over how abortion has been normalized even among those who claim the name of Christ.
The Word of God is clear that life begins not at birth but at conception, and that the unborn child is a person made in the image of God. For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:13-14. Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came out of the womb, I sanctified you Jeremiah 1:5. Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3. To take that innocent life is to shed innocent blood which Yahweh hates Proverbs 6:17 and to violate His command You shall not murder Exodus 20:13.
We understand your strong statement about Christians who support abortion. We would say that anyone who professes Christ yet openly advocates for abortion is walking in serious deception and contradiction to Scripture, and needs to repent and be renewed by the Word. We cannot see the heart as God does, but we know that to know Jesus is to love what He loves and to obey His commands. Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments John 14:15. We are called to speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:15, not with hatred, but with a firm and compassionate call to repentance, and to rescue those who are being led to death. Rescue those who are being led away to death Proverbs 24:11 and Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate Proverbs 31:8.
We also remember that there are many who have had abortions or supported it in the past who now carry deep pain and guilt. Our God is merciful and gracious to forgive all who come to Him through Jesus Christ with a repentant heart. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, and we thank You that You are the Author and Giver of life. We grieve with You over the millions of innocent lives lost to abortion, and we ask You to forgive our nation and Your church where we have been silent or compromising. Lord, we ask You to open the eyes of those who claim to know You yet support the taking of innocent life, that they would see the truth of Your Word and turn from that path. Bring deep conviction and repentance, and draw them into a true relationship with Jesus. We pray for mothers and fathers facing unplanned pregnancies, that You would surround them with love, support, and godly counsel, and give them courage to choose life. We pray for the church to have boldness and compassion to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and to offer healing to those who have been wounded by abortion. Let Your truth and Your mercy prevail, and let life be cherished again in our land. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and our salvation, amen.

We hear the weight behind what you shared and your desire to stand for the value of life. It matters to us that you care deeply about this, and we join you in grieving how often vulnerable lives are not protected.
We also know how heavy it can feel when fellow believers see this so differently. That tension can leave you feeling frustrated or even isolated, wanting to speak truth clearly while also wanting to reflect Christ well.
One thing that has helped others who carry this same conviction is to let it shape both prayer and quiet action. Continuing to pray for mothers facing difficult decisions, for children, and for churches to be places of both truth and compassion can keep your heart steady. If you feel led to do more, many find encouragement in simply coming alongside a local pregnancy support ministry or offering practical help to a young family nearby, letting your convictions be seen in kindness.
We appreciate you sharing your heart so plainly with us.
Father, thank You for this friend's love for life and desire to honor You. Give clarity and peace as they hold this conviction, and help them to speak with both courage and grace. Guard their heart from discouragement and draw them closer to Jesus each day. In Jesus' name, amen.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.
Spurgeon
Beloved of All
There is a righteous sorrow and a holy jealousy for truth in what you have written, and I thank God for a conscience that has not been seared by the customs of this age.
You are right to say that abortion is wrong, for the Word of the Lord is plain. He forms the child in the womb, and that which is knit together there is fearfully and wonderfully made, bearing the image of God from the first moment. To shed innocent blood is an abomination to the Lord, and no plea of convenience or philosophy can make that which God calls precious to be a thing to be destroyed. Buy the truth and sell it not, for truth is not a matter of opinion but a treasure of God. Holy Scripture is the standard of the truth of God, and to the law and to the testimony we must go. Your Word is truth, and that Word declares the sanctity of life.
You grieve also that many who name the name of Christ should yet defend this evil. There is indeed creeping into pulpits and pews a lethargy and coldness, and with that a sort of nullification of all truth, as if doctrine did not matter so long as a man lives as he pleases. But truth never exerts such power as when it is embodied, and Christ did not merely speak the truth, He was the Truth. He is King by force of truth in a spiritual kingdom, ruling the understanding by the truth of His doctrine and the affections by the truth of His person. How then can one be of the truth and hear His voice, and yet plead for the destruction of the little ones whom He made and for whom He died. We must rightly divide the Word of truth, and declare that without repentance and faith in Christ alone there is no salvation, and that a profession which loves what God hates must be called to examine itself.
Yet let us speak this truth in love and with tears. It is not ours to pronounce the final sentence upon any soul, for the Lord knows them that are His. Our part is to be soldiers of Christ and heroes of the truth, to take our swords from our scabbards and contend earnestly for that which is right, not with railing but with faithful witness, with prayer and with holy lives that adorn the doctrine we preach. We would call those who err to buy the truth at any cost, to turn from error, to trust in Jesus Christ the Son of God who became man and suffered in the place of all who trust Him, that they might not suffer for their sins.
I will pray with you and for you. May the Lord give you courage to stand by the banner of truth in an age that hates it, and grace to speak with both firmness and tenderness. May He have mercy upon our land, open the eyes of those deceived, comfort and provide for mothers pressed with fear, and cause His church to shine as a city of refuge for the helpless. May He bring many who have supported this great wrong to see the truth of His salvation, to know a real fall and a real Saviour, and to find within them a new life that loves what God loves.
May the God of truth keep you steadfast, and make you clear of the blood of all men by a faithful testimony to the preciousness of life and the power of the cross.
