Why each Christian should think carefully about the issue of abortion.
The majority of people in the US believe that abortion should be legal.  Without considering what God has to say, we could easily be influenced by the culture.
As God’s ambassadors to this world (2 Cor 5:20), we have a responsibility to make sure we are accurately representing Him and His heart regarding the issue of abortion.
