Al Mohler helpfully addressed an incredible editorial by Antonia Senior in The Times of London: Yes, Abortion is Killing. But It’s the Lesser Evil.
Antonia Senior believes the discussion about abortion is nuanced:
As ever, when an issue we thought was black and white becomes more nuanced, the answer lies in choosing the lesser evil.
She argues that killing a baby is the lesser evil. The greater evil would be limiting “complete control over her own fertility.”
Dr. Mohler framed it well:
Moral earthquakes, like earthquakes of the geophysical variety, most often occur suddenly and without warning. At one moment, the moral argument is framed in conventional and familiar ways. Just an instant later, all is changed. An article that appears in the June 30, 2010 edition of The Times [London] represents a moral earthquake that resets an entire issue — and that issue is abortion. This chilling essay is hard to read, but impossible to ignore. To read it is to feel the moral ground shift under your feet.
I agree we are seeing a rapid shift in the discussion about unborn life. I am not surprised, though, because the framework for Antonia Senior’s argument has been developing for decades, particularly in academic circles.
But something greater will replace this shift. I don’t know when, but I know it is more certain than where the argument about abortion is going.
Jesus is coming back.
In my devotions for today from Isaiah 63, it described how he is coming back:
Who is this who comes from Edom,
in crimsoned garments from Bozrah,
he who is splendid in his apparel,
marching in the greatness of his strength?
“It is I, speaking in righteousness,
mighty to save.”
Why is your apparel red,
and your garments like his who treads in the winepress?
“I have trodden the winepress alone,
and from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
and trampled them in my wrath;
their lifeblood spattered on my garments,
and stained all my apparel.
For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and my year of redemption had come.
I looked, but there was no one to help;
I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
so my own arm brought me salvation,
and my wrath upheld me.
I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
I made them drunk in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
Isaiah 63:1-6
The ESV study bible illuminates these verses with this stunning statement: “The Messiah comes in final vengeance.”
He will not let this evil of abortion stand. It will end someday, preferably before he returns. But if not, certainly when he returns.
Thus, ours is not just a cause to protect our unborn babies with disabilities until that day; we have a call to warn those who would destroy them that Jesus is coming back. And that he offers a glorious answer!
We need to tell them now. Because when he returns, all evils – lesser and greater – will be dealt with.
The Works of God 
AMEN!
