I am deeply grateful to you for reading P25 and summarizing for those of us who don’t have time to read nearly 1000 pages of lies and double talk.

Antiabortion arguments are not biologically accurate, not medically accurate, and not theologically sound. The Bible says nothing about abortion. In Exodus 21 a law related to harming a pregnant person is given a minor penalty if only the fetus is harmed, but if the pregnant person herself is harmed, the penalty is stiff, clearly indicating that the well-being of the pregnant person is prioritized over the fetus. The quality of life that a pregnant person can expect is also prioritized in the decision-making about continuing or ending a pregnancy. Christian scripture says Jesus came that we might have life more abundantly. If continuing a pregnancy is going to make the life of the family, and most people who have abortions already have one or more other children, impoverished, a struggle, and unbearably difficult, it can be an act of conscience to end the pregnancy. The Turnaway Study reveals the detrimental effects of being denied a needed pregnancy, effects demeaned by those who oppose abortion as “inconvenient.”

The fallacies in the P25 documents are appalling.

It is such a sad irony that the anti-abortion movement, which is supposedly so concerned with the life of the unborn child, is killing so many children.
