Articles & Resources on Abortion

With the recent date marking the anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision a number of people have released articles and resources on abortion. I've included them at the bottom of this post.

If you by chance find your way to this page and you're not a christian and you have had an abortion, please don't think that I'm another condemning hater, or in any way politically motivated. I do believe that human lives begin at conception and that abortion is indistinguishable from murder. But i also believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay for all sins, including killing unborn children, and that you can be forgiven and adopted into God's family through faith in Jesus' death on your behalf, and actually, I would plead with you to listen to what God may be saying to you, convincing you of the evil in your heart as he did convince me of the evil in mine, convincing you to call out to Jesus to save you and forgive you.
