Yes that's exactly what the bible teaches, if you dont try and stop others from sinning u go straight to hell..... jesus would hate the idea of adopting those kids that couldnt get aborted, wouldnt want the kids to get financial support, etc. Jesus was 100% against welfare too i bet, he wanted the people to struggle so they can build character and was a big pro corporation guy.
when morals are selectively applied they're worthless. and we didnt found this nation to be a biblical paradise of god's law.
make it legal and let those who get abortions and give them speak with your god when you die to make their own case.
people who cite morals for their own personal stance are almost to the person hypocritical idiots.
Christian faith has been abused by hypocritical dickheads to obtain or legitimize their power for 2000 years running, so no surprise there.

It seems to have worked in Texas by just threatening a lawsuit. 50% less procedures only a month after the new law.
How did the numbers change in nearby states like New Mexico or Colorado? And couldn't it be that pregnant Texan women just ordered more abortion pills instead?
At the end of the day, abortion is like prostitution or alcohol in the sense that a certain baseline demand will always exist, no matter if its legal or not.
Additionally, a staunch pro-life position is a clear-cut minority in the U.S., if Republicans or red states overplay their hand on this issue (e.g. by trying to criminalize women who travel to another state to get an abortion), they will eventually pay an electoral price.
