These articles are helpful in supporting the conversation about how many Christians (those in church) who have been affected by an abortion experience, or consider abortion. This is not a call for judgment, but quite the opposite. It is important in helping the Christ follower to understand how many people feel shame around an unplanned pregnancy and don’t feel they could talk about it. And it is also a call for healing for these friends who have this experience so that we can reach out and let them know they are loved and healing is real and available.
