The right to life is the first among human rights.
- Pope Francis
Simply put abortion is the most cunning and devilish sin in human history. With over 50,000,000 performed in America and more than a billion world wide, clinical abortion in the U.S. alone has taken ten times more lives than WWII. Globally, a single generation has killed the equivalent of five to ten times the entire world population during the days Jesus walked the Earth.
Making matters worse is the secret and insidious issue of contraceptive abortion. In depth research reveals the likelihood that many forms of contraceptives are abortifacient in nature and can cause early and nearly undetectable abortions after fertilization. These forms include birth control pills, currently used by over ten million American women non the wiser.
At it’s core Christianity is extremely inclusive. It’s great commission, to go into all the world and make disciples, was not to be carried out by violence or oppression. But rather through self sacrifice and good deeds. This includes honoring culture and tradition, when doing so does not break the boundaries of personal dignity or morality. A mandate long requiring believers to “speak the truth in love” even in the face of persecution and martyrdom.
In this light, it’s necessary to repeatedly point out that a tsunami of promiscuity was unleashed by the 1960’s sexual revolution that has turned modern civilization into a Waterworld of immorality. At least by Biblical standards. One of the many regrettable results of which has been unprecedented numbers and types of legalized abortion.
There are decisions that depict a generation. Moments that define a country. Choices that alter a person. Abortion is all the above.
Not all momentous acts are immediately apparent. The most significant event in human history, the crucifixion of Christ, was witnessed by a pedestrian crowd, gathered on a unremarkable hill, during an ordinary day. Darkened skies and an earthquake, a rent temple veil and a handful of resurrections notwithstanding. Perhaps a few hundred, out of 250 million, truly understood what was happening.
Something similar might be said in regards to the murder of more than a billion of Jesus’ least brothers. With certain dramatic differences. The atonement was a solitary event. Abortion is continuously committed everywhere. Christ’s cross spilled His sacrificial blood, redeeming mankind. Abortion’s shredding of the pre-born is spiritually decimating humanity. And may well be summoning the Antichrist.
Given Jesus’ unique and complete identification with the needy, from a Biblical standpoint abortion is currently the most cunning and devilish sin in human history. With well over 60 million performed in United States, and over a billion world wide, clinical abortion in the U.S. has taken ten times more American lives than WWII. Globally, a single generation has killed the equivalent of five to ten times the entire world population during the days Jesus walked the Earth.
Making matters worse may be the secret and insidious issue of contraceptive abortion. In depth research reveals the likelihood that many forms of contraceptives are abortifacient in nature, and can cause early and undetectable abortions after fertilization. These forms include birth control pills and other products currently used by millions of American women. Most, Christian or otherwise, none the wiser.
Abortion is the pinnacle sin in a long list of serious sins that have no doubt reached Heaven. Scripture repeatedly warns that participation in the shedding of innocent blood, either by commission or omission, has a devastating effect on God's people. How much greater judgment, both in time and eternity, awaits our generation having turned the womb into the world’s most dangerous place?
Humanly engineered abortions take a variety of forms. These abortions, relatively unheard of prior to the mid 1900s, are the result of human efforts to limit family size and decrease human population. Some of these include:
- Surgical Abortions: In the first trimester the most common forms are vacuum or suction aspiration, and dilation and curettage (D&C). Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is used in the second trimester. Late term or partial birth abortions take place after the 20th week of gestation. These abortions have, and/or are, taking place all over the world.
- Chemical Abortions: Often referred to as medical abortions. These include drugs like RU-486 and the Morning After Pill.
- Contraceptive Abortions: Most often chemical in nature, early term abortions are a result of various forms of birth control and other devices. Abortions of this kind happen before the mother is aware of her pregnancy. The exact numbers are unknown. Some estimates suggest the daily total of these types of abortions may be surprising large. In the U.S. alone perhaps between 834,000 to over 4,000,000 per year. Lower estimates range around 100,000 to over 1,500,000 annually.
Interestingly, for a procedure as common as abortion, ignorance still abounds after decades of legalization. Yet not for the lack of good educational resources. The purpose of this chapter is not to reinvent the wheel. With this in mind you will find links to additional information as formats permit.
Some have asked, why God allows abortion? Perhaps the more salient question is why do we? Tragically, society and modern Christianity alike, seem to have more in keeping with Revelation’s apostate church of Laodicea than Philadelphia (literally: those who love the womb). Keep in mind that Christians have had the power to end abortion every day, 365 days a year, for nearly half a century. Should laying down our lives or even voting prove problematic, we need only send 1% of church attenders to have a pro-family picnic in front of the entrance of abortion clinics. Such a simple and passive rescue technique could hardly be thwarted by arrests given the sheer numbers involved. Certainly not for more than a day or two. For this and other reasons, QC condemns the use of violence of any form, in regards to abortion and/or it’s providers.
With this and other means having long been out our disposal, might it be said that Satan’s temptation’s have corrupted us as they did David, in regards to Bathsheba and numbering Israel? If so, Churchianity’s apathy and worse may well be aborting our faith and prayers, worship and communion. And according to Jesus, perhaps even our salvation.
While we each have a unique perspective, our common goal should be to acknowledge and act on Truth. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help us God. Only in this way can our differences strengthen us. It’s unity, rather than uniformity, that brings ability and health to any system. Our body is comprised of many parts, yet functions together as a cohesive whole. Modern Christianity, and even the pro-life movement, must become so unified.
QC hopes to inspire friends in the pro-life movement. Those just beginning their educational process, as well as individuals long holding a pro-life mindset, are encouraged to reflect on the bigger picture. While all efforts to end abortion are laudable, sometimes preoccupation with a single tree blinds us to the true nature of the encompassing forest. Even one set on fire by hell itself.
Abortion, particularly on such a global scale, is anathema for a variety of reasons. From the viewpoint of the sacred love and bond of a mother and child, abortion is unthinkable. Considering the ancient oath of physicians to “First, to do no harm" clinical abortion’s murdering one patient and violating another is inconceivable. Given the authority entrusted to governments, particularly to Congress and the courts, “to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity" the legalized abortion of over 60 million future Americans, over a million for each Star on Liberty's flag, is indefensible.
Churchianity objects to such seeming overstatements based on a variety of issues. Including the grounds that abortion is just one of many social ills. Others, sympathetic to pro-life rhetoric, may deem the above reasoning just more preaching to the choir. Both groups should think again.
When the premeditated and legalized murder of one fourth of more of a nation is set on the back burner of political and social agendas, the future of society is at stake. When vital programs such as Social Security and Medi-Cal, welfare, and health insurance are being ravaged by a public policy destroying an incredibly large number of the potential American workforce, something should be done. When the record of such unprecedented quantity and quality of innocent blood stands between modern Christianity and Christ, immediate and massive repentance is in order. Clinical abortion has continued unchecked for over 40 years. Ignorance and apathy regarding contraceptive abortion for over 60 years. It should be apparent by now that everyone, including the pro-life choir, needs educating.
With societies, families and individuals cascading down such a slippery slope, the question arises as to "who's next?" If we’re aborting our very future without alarm, why be concerned with honoring the past? Euthanasia is certain to become ever more socially and politically feasible, as the fiscal realities of having aborted millions continues to stress and strain our economic systems. Particularly given skyrocketing costs associated with increasing advancements in medical care.
These are but a few issues that must be addressed when attempting to answer the question, What Is Abortion? Our purpose is to open dialogue on this important topic before it's too late. Time is running out. It has already done so for over 60 million American pre-born taken by clinical abortion alone. It has done so for perhaps well over a billion aborted worldwide. It has done so for every great society that has regressed from loving and serving its citizenry, to wonton self interest and worse:
- “… ‘Today [while there is still opportunity] if you hear His voice, Do not harden your heart, as when they provoked Me [in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah].' For who were they who heard and yet provoked Him [with rebellious acts]? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?”' Hebrews 3:15-16 Amplified Bible
Today, there still may be time reverse these trends. Yet this will not always be the case:
- “But now is the time. Never forget the warning, “Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against him in the desert.” Hebrews 3:15 Living Bible
- “For who were the people who turned a deaf ear? Weren’t they the very ones Moses led out of Egypt? And who was God provoked with for forty years? Wasn’t it those who turned a deaf ear and ended up corpses in the wilderness? And when he swore that they’d never get where they were going, wasn’t he talking to the ones who turned a deaf ear? They never got there because they never listened, never believed.” Hebrews 3:16-19 The Message
By facing the increasing darkness and working together today, we may turn the twilight that precedes midnight, into the dusk that proceeds the dawn of spiritual renewal, revival or even reformation.
One final bit of unpleasantness. With the exception of Omnity, all things change. For better and worse. On the bright side, consider Scripture’s fantastic promise of mortality becoming immortality:
- “Some skeptic is sure to ask, “Show me how resurrection works. Give me a diagram; draw me a picture. What does this ‘resurrection body’ look like?” If you look at this question closely, you realize how absurd it is. There are no diagrams for this kind of thing. We do have a parallel experience in gardening. You plant a “dead” seed; soon there is a flourishing plant. There is no visual likeness between seed and plant. You could never guess what a tomato would look like by looking at a tomato seed. What we plant in the soil and what grows out of it don’t look anything alike. The dead body that we bury in the ground and the resurrection body that comes from it will be dramatically different.” 1 Corinthians 15:35-38 The Message
Great news! Unfortunately quantum transformation is a two way street. As noted by C.S. Lewis’ quote regarding our future appearances as gods and goddesses, horrors and corruptions. In the same way, once a sin is introduced, there are only three possible outcomes:
- Complete Repentance: The offense against God and man must be recognized and fully repented of, uprooting plant, root and all. While this option remains available, it has never happened in all of human history. Not even in regards to the least of sins.
- Commensurate Judgment: Failing to respond in time to Divine waring, punishment befitting the sin is dispensed.
- Growth and Mutation: Should sin fail to be fully repented of or summarily judged, it will certainly expand in both quantity and quality. The afore referenced ripe tomatoes, not to mention immense and towering redwoods, grow from tiny seemingly insignificant seeds. So too temptation and deception, entitlement and sin, can and will mutate exponentially.
Prophetic Christians appreciate distress tends to awaken God’s people to the perils about them. While true, so is the fact that extreme pain and suffering clouds and hardens angry hearts and minds in far greater numbers. Tellingly, the Bible never directs believers to pray for judgment or persecution. An unprecedented global revival, if not reformation, would be far more preferable.
With so much at stake, it's high time we believers recognize our massive physical and spiritual blessings and begin seeking God as seriously as we do wealth and pleasure. Let's strive to be thankful and stop taking God and His gifts for granted. Let’s renew our efforts to "spur one another on toward love and good deeds." Before trials force the issue, let’s redouble our attempts to approach God acceptably, loving Him as He deserves and our neighbors as they so desperately need.

UPDATE: Roe vs. Wade Overturned
To the joy of countless millions, on Friday 6/24/22 the landmark decision Hobbs vs. Jackson by the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe vs. Wade. Thus auspiciously ending 50 years of national tyranny against 60 million pre-born.
Or at lease throwing the decision to allow mothers to continue conspiring with physicians to murder the offspring within their wombs back to America's 50 individual states...
Nor does it address the more subtle yet sinful and deadly issue of contraceptive abortifacients, prevalent throughout society and modern Christianity.
While I now live in North East Texas, years ago I spent nearly 100 Saturdays at Central California clinics warning and imploring up to twenty girls a day to spare their babies. Via public parking constraints, forced to pass near I implored, “If God gives you the gift of a child don’t let anyone harm it” while handing them carefully explicit literature.
Often alone, sometimes there would be nearly a handful of us. On a good day, one or two mothers would listen and change their minds.
On many other occasions none at all.
As in Christ's end time parable of the Sheep and Goats, there I discovered Jesus in His smallest and most innocent form. Totally dependent for “food” and “drink,” “naked” and “in prison” in the very womb of His mother. There I watched as He was repeatedly carried, “Like a lamb to the slaughter,” into a medical clinic. A most solemn and sorrowful scenario with grave spiritual ramifications.
One repeated in Fresno alone over 50,000 times.
In over two years I don’t recall a single member of the clergy or even lay leader joining us. Though I understand the odds may have somewhat improved through the influence of 40 Days For Life.
Only a fraction of fraction of a percent of ordained ministers have served as a director of a leading pro-life organization. Far less still have had the honor and responsibility to act as a leading liaison to over a thousand churches in state wide pro-life political initiatives.
With well over thirty years in strategic Christian service, including more than a decade of pastoral ministry and pro-life activism, the author is privileged to belong to a select fraternity. This and other articles and books represent a culmination of this experience. Using such depth perception, this commentary is intended to introduce the true nature of the challenge presented by abortion. Particularly to modern Christianity.
During California’s 2005 Prop. 73 Parent’s Right To Know initiative I produced the pro-life political DVD entitled “Protect Me…Please” to be shown in hundreds, if not thousands of churches, prior to or on election Sunday. Groundbreaking, the 3 minute video featuring post abortive laments of teenage girls, made the front page of both the LA Times and San Francisco Chronicle. Prop. 73 failed by a narrow margin.
During the subsequent Prop. 85 initiative I achieved another milestone. For the first time, four leading Protestant state denominations, the Southern Baptists, Assemblies of God, Calvary Chapel and Foursquare, officially endorsed a political initiative. Again Parent’s Right to Know (PRK) was defeated.
Our third attempt in 2008 with Prop 4. affectionately dubbed “Sarah’s Law” failed as well. More than political, my involvement was spiritually motivated. After having spoken to thousands of Christians across denominational lines, it was clear that far less than 1% of either clergy or laity had the vaguest notion of the scale of abortion’s true threat to either the pre-born or the Church.
As a topical Biblical commentary, Quantum Christianity was designed in recognition of the need to examine and handle truth carefully and honestly. Scriptural and otherwise. The nationalized legalization of clinical abortion, and its apparent overruling, presents a perfect case in point.
A faithful handling of the Old and New Testament requires would be students and adherents to develop spiritual discernment on a variety of subjects crucial to Biblical Christianity. The lack of which has produced hundreds of differing denominations espousing various Christs and versions of the gospel. Tragically, many of the hopeful insights inherent in Christ's command to "Judge with righteous judgment" continue to go largely unrealized within modern Christianity.
Such is certainly the case when considering the American church's 50 year track record in regards to an appropriate response to abortion. Or more accurately, the lack thereof. Both clinically and contraceptively.
Bear in mind that church attending Christians could have ended abortion in a single day, 365 days a year, for 50 years, by simply sending 1% of our congregations to have family friendly picnics in front of every abortion clinic in America. With thousands peacefully blocking entrances, even should there be numerous arrests, the sheer numbers involved would shut down all abortuaries in a single day. With 99% more now authentically pro-life Christians waiting for a chance to join cause.
Yet nothing could be further from the case. Then or now.
Nor have we seriously addressed the widespread use of abortifacient contraception throughout Christendom. A topic that many, if not most, churches and even pro-life organizations know or speak little about. Most often chemical in nature, early term abortions are a result of various forms of birth control and other devices. Abortions of this kind happen before the mother is aware of her pregnancy. The exact numbers are unknown. Some estimates suggest the daily total of these types of abortions may be surprising large. In the U.S. alone perhaps between 834,000 to over 4,000,000 per year (Dr. Bobmir Kuhar, Infant Homicides Through Contraceptives Pg 27.) Lower estimates range around 100,000 to over 1,500,000 annually (Randy Alcorn: Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions? How Often Does the Pill Cause Abortions?)
Thus the compelling need to rethink Jesus' directive to “Judge with righteous judgment” should be abundantly evident.
But is it? Throughout the Hobbs vs. Jackson decision by the Supreme Court celebratory posts and podcasts, sermons and ceremonies, is there any awareness of the reality of the seriousness our situation? Or brokenhearted repentance in light of the depth of our failures?
Are any of today's joyful messages cognizant of the Bible's repeated warning that God is not mocked.
- “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. Galatians 6:7 AMP
- For they sow the wind [in evil] And they reap the whirlwind [in disaster]. Hosea 8:7 AMP
Is our revelry tempered with the sobering fact that while abortion is currently the pinnacle sin of mankind, it's only the tip of the iceberg? One floating in a Water World of immorality unleashed by the continual and increasing tsunami of the 60's sexual revolution redefining and/or eliminating traditional marriage and family.
These devilish sociopolitical engineering undoubtedly ushered in such modern woes as career felon George Floyd's sainthood and efforts to undermine criminal justice. Antifa and BLM riots and violence. CRT and orchestrated racial tensions. C19's plandemic and goal overreach. Medical interference and harmful vaccines. Woke agenda and transgenderism. Biden's malevolent war on Ukraine and America's economy. All part of the Great Reset.
And these are just the highlights. All coordinated and choreographed by the clearly visible and menacing Iron Triangle of liberal global politics, media and corporations.
Yet even now, modern Christianity, up to and including the vast majority of Prophetic Christians, refuses to discern the clearly repeated handwriting on the wall. And having done so, to enter the crucible of James 4's Prayer of Anguish in hopes of James 5's reconciliation to, and empowerment by, God.
Particularly the Person of the Holy Spirit, Whom we continue to annoy and grieve, if not profane and blaspheme.
Instead, across America, Laodicea is masquerading as Philadelphia. Lauding the Supreme Court for Hobbs vs. Jackson while the highest court in the land continues to sidestep or support all the devastating atrocities mentioned above. Many of which modern Christianity has yet to Scripturally repent of, up to and including sins of clinical and/or contraceptive abortion. In regards to commission and/or omission.
Mankind’s current pinnacle sin of abortion is spiritually quantum in a variety of ways. For example, it’s hardly just like any other sin. Even so, as with any other sin, it does require the event and process of genuine repentance. Like faith itself, honest and heartfelt repentance encompasses our entire mind, heart and will. As required by the previously mentioned passage in 2 Chronicles 7:14’s perfect formula for repentance. See GB handout "Authentically Pro-Life."
