The Real Impact of Abortion Laws – A Call for True Justice
A recent op-ed in the Hartford Courant claims that abortion bans are causing population loss and economic harm to states that enact them. This argument is not only misleading but an example of Orwellian double-speak—justifying the mass slaughter of innocent human beings as a supposed economic benefit. It exposes the moral depravity of a culture that values convenience and commerce over justice and righteousness.
The article paints abortion restrictions as extreme, yet in truth, no state in America has actually abolished abortion. Every so-called “ban” has exceptions, and more importantly, none of them provide equal protection under the law for the unborn. Why? Because the pro-life movement itself refuses to support laws that criminalize women who, with premeditation, seek to murder their own children. This is not abolition—this is regulated child sacrifice.
The irony of the Hartford Courant op-ed is astounding. It argues that states restricting abortion are suffering because women no longer have easy access to killing their children. It suggests that fewer young professionals will move to these states because they value “reproductive rights” over basic morality. Are we to believe that justice and righteousness should be discarded if they cost us a few workers? Would we apply this logic to slavery? To genocide?
The claim that abortion bans hurt the medical field is another distortion. The truth is that abortion has never been necessary medical care. Deliberately killing a preborn child is not healthcare—it is homicide. The argument that fewer OB/GYNs and emergency doctors are applying to work in pro-life states only exposes the corruption in modern medicine, where many have abandoned their duty to heal in favor of profiting from death.
But the real issue isn’t economic—it’s moral. Our nation stands under judgment because it refuses to abolish the shedding of innocent blood. Politicians, doctors, business leaders, and especially pastors and churches who have remained silent or compromised are accountable before God. America does not need to attract more workers who demand the right to kill their children. America needs repentance.
God will not and cannot bless a nation that sheds innocent blood. Abortion must not be regulated—it must be abolished. Women who seek out abortions, along with those who perform or enable them, must be held accountable under the same laws that protect all human beings from murder. Anything less is a mockery of justice.
The pro-life movement has failed because it has compromised. True abolition means equal justice for all—born and preborn. Until America repents and establishes true justice, it will continue to suffer not just economic consequences, but divine judgment.
