A Stark Moral Rift Emerges as Abortion Divisions Deepen Across America
Today’s culture faces a profound moral incoherence as it struggles to define the sanctity of life within the framework of shifting public opinion. When society ignores transcendent truths, it risks echoing the prophet Isaiah’s warning against calling evil good and good evil.
The current divide over abortion mirrors historical debates on slavery, where some sought to replace objective righteousness with popular sovereignty. Just as Abraham Lincoln appealed to natural law, Christians must stand firm on the reality that God is the ultimate standard for all morality.
