— Christian, please hear me out. —
A bill that protects child sacrifice to any degree — a bill that leaves even one human being without equal protection and equal justice — is an iniquitous decree.
I will not rejoice in iniquity.
This (see pics ☝️) is why I cannot be happy with incremental legislation, why I cannot rejoice at such so-called "progress."
‼️ Every child murdered by abortion is my (our) neighbor and fellow imagebearer.
‼️ Pro-life incremental laws keep their murder legal.
See the abortion victim above? That precious tiny imagebearer, that little neighbor of mine, was murdered under the approval of pro-life incremental legislation.
(That pro-life bill you voted for / supported / rejoiced over? — It left this little one (and millions of others) without protection, and in fact legally approved of him/her being murdered.)
I will not support such legislation that leaves my most vulnerable neighbors unprotected, and indeed leads to their deaths.
You shouldn't either, Christian.
God expressly condemns partiality and iniquitous decrees.
• "Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!" Isaiah 10:1-2
... He commands us to love our neighbors and to establish justice (...specifically for the fatherless! and who is more fatherless than a preborn child being led to the slaughter by one or both of his parents?) ——
• "Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before My eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause." Isaiah 1:16-17
—— Not to compromise with the culture of death so we can "make progress" and "celebrate little wins"...
... All the while our zeal cooling, our consciences searing, our nation being judged by God for our disobedience and refusal to repent, and our neighbors continuing to be slaughtered— under the approval and/or apathy of the bride of Christ. Under wicked, partial, unrighteous pro-life laws.
• "You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous. Justice, and ONLY justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the LORD your God is giving you." Deuteronomy 16:19-20

Wake up, bride of Christ!
The legalized murder of our preborn image-bearing neighbors — modern-day child sacrifice — must be abolished, NOT regulated!
NO peace with child sacrifice! NO compromise with child sacrifice! NO "fighting child sacrifice with child sacrifice!"
We must repent and obey immediately!
We must abolish abortion — no compromise, no exceptions, immediately, to the glory of God. 🌳🪓

Proverbs 31:8-9
Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Ecclesiastes 8:11
Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
