I have said this probably 100 times on Facebook, Twitter, and even in person to my friends. I HATE T-shirts that say “Abortion is Murder”, “Abortion is Mean”, or any other harsh statements about abortion. I want to make sure I say that I AM PROLIFE but you will never see me in one of these harsh condemning shirts. I do believe that abortion is murder and since it is murder then it is “mean”. BUT when I try to imagine Jesus wearing a shirt that says, “Abortion is Murder” I honestly cannot picture it but maybe I am wrong.
I think about putting on a shirt that says something so cruel (to make it worse they also stamp bible verses on these things) and harsh and walking out into a world that is so broken and hurting. I think about that woman. The one who was young, scared and alone with a choice to make. I don’t imagine her laughing or smirking as life is ripped out of her. I see someone who is broken and filled with regret. She is someone who needs love not condemnation. So I think twice before I buy anything with slogans that might deeply hurt someone. I think about my sin, the sin that I struggle with and regret and the past that I have and how much it would hurt to see judgment stamped across a t-shirt of someone who calls themselves a child of the God who FORGIVES.
I do not condone abortion and if you ask me I will tell you that I believe abortion is wrong in EVERY circumstance. I believe that abortion is a major problem in this country and my heartaches when I think about it. I believe that abortion is evil but I also believe that the ONLY thing that can stop evil and hatred is goodness and Love! So be Pro-Life, advertise it, but advertise it in a way that makes God smile!
