I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental. Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned.
We will be ready when any ruling is issued.

If there is no God, there is nowhere to locate the authority to give a moral absolute. But no one lives as though there is no right and wrong (they may say they do, but they cry for justice when they or a loved one is “wronged”).
You can only stay bitter toward someone if you feel superior, if you feel that you would never do anything like they did. Those who won’t forgive show they have not accepted the fact of their own sinfulness.
If your race and culture, or your moral performance, or your politics, or anything but the love of God is a foundational source of your self-worth, when people threaten that positive self-image, you will not be able to listen to them...You will strike at them.
Great reminder for all Christians today: Eph 4:1-3
…I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

I’ve been asked why it is especially wrong for Christians to speak of their opponents in a demonizing and dehumanizing way. Historic Christians believe that our sin has made us worthy of condemnation and hell. 1/6
Christ gives us great resources for turning enemies into God’s friends. He died for us while we were yet God’s enemies (Romans 5: 10), which motivates us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12: 14–21).
God’s Word for all of us today: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” Philippians 2:3-4
