The Christian community talks routinely about choosing life. One expression of that is reaching out to women in desperate situations before they make the life-altering decision to terminate a pregnancy.

But what about after they’ve chosen abortion?

On our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Finding Grace After an Abortion,” we’re talking to Serena Dyksen – speaker, author, and founder of She Found His Grace, a ministry that helps women who have experienced abortion or sexual trauma – about how to help women who have suffered the trauma of abortion find grace and recovery.

As you know, the much-welcomed reversal of Roe last June has set in motion an avalanche of pro-abortion legislation and ballot initiatives, including in our home state of Colorado.

I had an opportunity to weigh-in on a particularly grievous series of bills passed in the Centennial State and signed by our governor. My original article appeared in Newsweek last week. I’ve updated the piece to reflect the fast-moving nature of the subject matter. 

Colorado Governor Jared Polis Signs Bill Prohibiting Lifesaving Care of Innocent Pre-born Children

For many years now, pro-abortion advocates have attempted to perfect the art of using soft words to describe dark deeds, and nowhere more regularly or dangerously than in my home state’s General Assembly. 

Last month, pro-abortion zealots in Colorado introduced a series of three bills, all of which have been signed by Governor Jared Polis.

Abby Johnson describes God’s mercy as “fierce” – that is, His mercy is marked by unrestrained zeal, intensity, and highly determined activity.

Abby experienced God’s “fierce mercy” after working for eight years as an employee and clinical director for Planned Parenthood. God transformed her life in 2009 when Abby assisted with an ultrasound-guided abortion. She watched in horror as a 13-week baby lost its life to the abortionist. In that moment, the scales fell from Abby’s eyes, and she realized the ugly reality of abortion.

The abortion industry promotes medical abortions as “safer” and “easier” than surgical abortions because there’s no need for a surgeon, medical staff, or specialized equipment. The actual appeal, however, is that medical options make abortions more common and cheaper, thus creating a higher profit-margin.

It’s estimated that 42% of early abortions (up to eight weeks) and 30% of all abortions are the result of the medication Mifepristone. Also known as RU486, this medication convinces a woman’s body that she’s not pregnant, breaking down the connections between mother and embryo.

It’s been just over two months since the Supreme Court’s 5-4 vote reversing Roe and sending the issue of abortion back to the states – and propelling abortion activists into full-fledged panic mode.

Earlier this summer, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) introduced a bill that’s ironically called the “Stop Anti-Abortion Disinformation Act” – legislation that’s supposedly going to address false advertising from pregnancy resource centers. The bill calls on the Federal Trade Commission to issue rules “prohibiting disinformation in the advertising of abortion services.”

Only these clinics don’t deceive women at all – they simply educate, inform, and ensure that mothers are aware of the full range of assistance that exists for them and their baby. 

If there’s any “deception” it comes from the abortion lobby and abortion mills like Planned Parenthood.

It goes without saying that the Supreme Court’s dramatic reversal of Roe last week catapults this year’s slate of cases into the historic tier of terms. No issue is more fundamental than life.

But with most of the attention centered on Dobbs and Roe, it’s easy to overlook some other significant and consequential cases that the High Court addressed concerning religious freedom.

When the Supreme Court affirmed Coach Kennedy’s right to pray silently on the 50-yard line, they actually empowered and encouraged all praying Americans.

The hashtag #ToGodbetheGlory is trending on Twitter today – and for good reason!

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe uphold the Mississippi abortion ban and return the issue of abortion to the states is the most consequential legal ruling of our lifetime. 

I want to alert you to an exciting national campaign Focus on the Family is launching tonight on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News television program. For the next two weeks, we’ll be running advertisements celebrating both the beauty and fragility of life.
