A disturbing comment I heard recently keeps ringing in my ears and the tragic error in it needs to be understood.
“I believe in abortion because I care about women.”
Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest provider of abortions, claims this and the massive campaign they run convinces millions that their fundamental mission is caring about women.
Most people who support abortion convince themselves that their own concern for women drives them to be pro-choice.
That is a lie.
The logic doesn’t support itself. A person cannot have such a concern for one human being that he uses that claim of love to murder another one. I can’t believe you if you say you love women but you hate their sons and daughters enough to kill them.
The ugly truth is, we love rights. The right to do whatever we want to do, even at the expense of killing, and robbing another person of any rights. There is no logic in that, and certainly no love.
If you love women, give them real help.
If you know a woman who is pregnant and doesn’t feel like she can keep her baby, love her. Tell her to call one of the many organizations at the link below, and they will find a loving home for her.
Stop the lies. Start really loving people.

Very good at sticking with the truth!
1 John 3:16 keeps coming back to me: “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”
Jesus, in His great love, willingly laid down His life for us. But in abortion, we are requiring our baby to lay down his or her life for us.
A horrifyingly stark contrast between the two — and the antithesis of love in the latter.
When I found out I was pregnant at the age of 17, I was encouraged to get an abortion. I am SO thankful that the Lord, in his grace, kept me from making that decision. That unplanned son is now 18 and I cannot imagine life without him.
I recently found out a sibling had an abortion years ago. I feel cheated from knowing and loving that niece or nephew. I wish I would have known about the pregnancy so I could have offered to adopt or at least offer support.
I have a tender heart for the post-abortive woman as well. Many were deceived into killing their baby and live with regret and shame because of this choice.
I liked Matt Walsh’s article discussing how children react to abortion.
Amen, Kelly! Abortion literally “unravels” the mommy, even though her precious baby, knit together in her womb, is ushered into the arms of God. She may not even know it is a major cause of so much pain and sorrow, but it is. I know this from experience. God’s grace is outrageous, and 30 years later, I am just now experiencing full healing from that horrific “choice” I made at age 18. I am just now praying about a Bible study the Lord has put on my heart to write for post-abortive women. There are many good ones out there, but I see a missing piece. I love, love your bold stand for preborn babies, Kelly!
PS: Also love your new header! Draws me in.
So thankful to hear of your healing, Claudia. And what a blessing you are considering writing a Bible study for post-abortive women. That’s a very loving thing to do. I will pray for you in that endeavor.
Claudia,
“God’s grace is outrageous”–I feel like a standing ovation. I know if first hand too, as I have been rescued from so much tragedy and so many bad choices. Thank you for sharing this. I love your heart.
P.S. Thank you! I’m glad to hear some feedback.
Abortion will destroy a woman and a baby. Thanks for sharing.
