The case for the abolition of abortion
by Christian Hacking, Christian Today:
Exactly 236 years ago, on 22 May 1787, a group of 12 men met in a printing shop in central London to strategise the seemingly impossible: the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade.
It seems so obvious to us looking back that slavery is wrong and should be illegal. However this very thought owes itself to the hard labours of the thousands of abolitionists who made and ultimately won this case two hundred years ago. Their impact is felt not simply in our innate revulsion to slavery but in laws that continue to criminalise its practice today.
Sadly slavery still exists, and is still a huge problem, but at least it doesn’t enjoy our moral and legal approval. It is also not the injustice that future generations will judge us for. Abortion on the other hand, is.
Over the last seven years I have had the privilege of working with a remarkable group of people that fear God, love his Son and study his word. Empowered by God’s Holy Spirit, we have been labouring night and day on what it would take to abolish this new trade in human flesh.
Such things are easy to write, but harder to implement. However what is striking about our nationwide network of educators is that we believe the abolition of abortion to be biblical, achievable, and under way.
