The issue of Abortion has plagued Americans hearts and minds for Over 4 decades. Modern far Left Liberals want it on demand and at any whim.

The Left claims it's a Women's Rights Issue, while the Right claims Babies have Rights too. I honestly lean toward the RIGHT side of the argument, but my knowledge and application of that knowledge leads me to an all different conclusion on this subject matter.

As a conservative it is a Fundamental necessity to support limited/small government Principles and Ideals. Conservatives for quite some time have been trying to use Big Government as a tool to correct what they feel is wrong. Morally I would agree with this strategy, but practically I have to denounce this failed tact. Christian Conservatives already have MORAL LAW set in stone to deal with the issue of Abortion. This Law thou shall not murder,(Hebrew translation)was given to the Jewish people thousands of years ago and is still applicable today amongst Christians and Jews. Applying this Law forcefully by a Secular Government to "unbelievers" and those who's definition of murder that varies considerably has been met with vehement opposition, which is why I believe it is time for Christians Conservatives to take a deeper introspective look at why they oppose Abortion. For Christians opposing abortion is part of our Faith. Did we oppose Abortion in absence of our faith or did our faith mold our opposition to abortion? For non-Christian Conservatives the definition of murder plays a much more prominent role in their decision making, tho moral compass also plays a large role as well, right vs wrong.
In both cases your opposition is correct and well intended that is for sure. As I said before the Law given to the Jewish people was for the Jewish people. If we as conservative and we as Christians want to defeat the scourge of Abortion we must rethink the divisive strategy we have come accustomed to using. Big Government and Legislating morality has a long history of FAILURE. Christians must stop trying to enforce the "Will of God" on secularists and pagans, instead we must share the LOVE of Jesus and change the hearts and minds. We have been skipping the introduction of our faith and we're trying to force feed unbelievers the dogma. Non Christian Conservatives who oppose Abortion must champion the cause for Truth, we must continue to educate the women who have or may have abortions in the future. The blatant false information given out in our schools to our young daughters is a travesty. We must be active and demand the Truth to be told. We are not going to outlaw abortion, but we can change the hearts and minds of young girls with the Love of Jesus and the Bulwark of Truth.

Addition for Christians

Matthew 10:14

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.
