I agree in principle.
However, it's not the GOVERNMENT'S business if a woman allows herself to get pregnant or not. It's also not the GOVERNMENT'S business as to if a woman is even pregnant. It's not the GOVERNMENT'S business if anyone is having sex or not. It's not the GOVERNMENT'S place.
Why do we think the GOVERNMENT can force a woman to give birth if she doesn't want to? As terrible as abortion is... that's some pretty serious power given to GOVERNMENT.
Now... I'm all for ministries that work on giving women prolife options and education. I think that is important. I also think churches and charities should arise to the occasion and address the issues that women face in crisis pregnancies to discourage abortion. But the moment the GOVERNMENT calls the shots on something so deeply personal as one's sovereignty over their own body... I get a bit cautious.
