As more equal protection bills are filed across the country, gear up to answer some of the most common lines you'll hear about the full criminalization of abortion.
Christians should be the ones who seek to bring their justice system into line with God's standards, rejecting all partiality in court and calling on their magistrates to protect the rights of those in need (Psalm 82:2-3).
We are also to obey our governing authorities (Romans 13:1), which includes our Constitution. The 14th amendment to the constitution states that "no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Some argue that women are less likely to testify against abortion if they know they too will be prosecuted. Historically, the reasoning behind this objection was that the woman's testimony would be absolutely necessary for the abortionist to face justice. The challenge was finding multiple lines of testimony, a problem we don't have to worry about today given advances in forensic procedures and medical technology.
In addition, good laws act as deterrents to crime. Post-abortion sisters in Christ who have this sin in their past have testified openly that they would never have had an abortion if the act had been illegal. The same women wish it had been so, as they would still have their children today. Women are less likely to have an abortion if they know they will be punished for it.
Some women, yes. Many abort completely of their own volition. This is reflected in the fact that 97-98% of abortions are performed for reasons of convenience.

Any woman who knowingly and intentionally commits the murder of her unborn child is not a victim of coercion, but a principal actor in the death of her own child.
The reason it remains legal for boyfriends, pimps and parents to force a woman to have an abortion is because the lives of babies in the womb are not protected in the same way as everyone else's. If they were, anyone who even suggested to a woman that she should have an abortion could be held criminally liable.
Everyone who is on the side of life is against a woman being forced to have an abortion. The only way to make sure this doesn't happen is to treat abortion as murder for everyone involved, including the mother.
5. Criminalizing abortion will sabotage other legislative efforts that save children.
If we had equal protection of the laws for all human beings from fertilization, we would not need legislative efforts to save more children because that would mean a judicial end to abortion.
Some say, "you can't just ban abortion, that will sabotage other laws that have a chance of passing."
Almost every state that has enacted equal protection has been opposed by the Pro Life Establishment in favor of bias and compromise bills. Imagine what could happen if those who say they are for the end of abortion act like this!
Someday, equal protection will pass. Those who say they are pro-life should ask themselves if they want to be remembered as those who stood in the way because they refused to protect their neighbors the way they wanted their lives protected.
Our culture is not ready to completely ban abortion
God's Word never allows Christians to take examples from culture. GOD'S job is to prepare the soil. OUR job is to sow the seed. Perhaps the culture would be ready if we preached God's Law and His Gospel.
These are objections that Christians will continue to hear as the righteous law marches forward demanding justice for the unborn!
Be prepared to defend yourself.
