The spiritual condition of man is at the root of the abortion issue. Until man’s spiritual condition is changed by the power of Jesus Christ, we will not find a full solution to this problem. It is sin that produces the problem of most unwanted pregnancies, as well as all the other disorders which plague the human race.
It is also sin that produces the misbelief that women have a “right” to take the lives of unborn babies. The apostle Paul writes, “Now the works of the flesh are revealed, which are these: adultery, sexual immorality, impurity, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousy, rage, selfishness, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, carousing, and the like” (Gal. 5:19-21a).
Life is sacred, and we must seek to protect all human life: the unborn, the child, the adult and the aged. Several Bible passages tell of the sacredness of life and speak to the subject of abortion.
Since the Supreme Court removed restrictions on abortion in 1973, abortions have risen to an alarming level. Mr. Graham strongly opposes “abortion on demand” and was instrumental in the founding of the ministry of Care Net, one of largest networks of pregnancy centers in North America. Care Net seeks to provide the most accessible and effective abortion alternatives possible. For a discussion on the alternatives to an unwanted pregnancy, you may visit Care Net’s website, where there are opportunities to call, email or live chat with someone confidentially.
