In Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus reveals that Satan plants weeds* in our fellowships. They profess Christ but promote lies.In Nazi Germany these weeds convinced many professing Christians to support Nazism, resulting in the death of millions of Jews (source).
The small minority of genuine remnant Christians refused the Nazi lies, and some lost their lives fighting the fight of faith.
In modern America, weeds have convinced many genuine Christians to promote the deaths of 600,000 babies each year by voting for proabortion candidates.
Their most successful arguments are the life of the mother, or rape and incest victims.
The weeds' destination is described in Matthew 7:21-27 and Matthew 7:13-14. But my hope is that genuine believers who have bought into these excuses for abortion will be faithful to study the truths I share below.
If
you can read the facts below and remain silent about the unlimited
abortion demanded by the Democratic platform, please read Proverbs 24:11-12. I have done my best to warn you.

Chris Rock Tells It Like It Is
*The word used for the weeds in this passage is a poisonous weed that strongly resembles wheat (source).
The Facts
Life of the Mother:
✔ Since 1873 it has been legal in the U.S. to have an abortion to save the life of the mother. The 'Comstock Law' (passed in 1873) made therapeutic abortions legal if pregnancy and childbirth threatened the woman's
life.
✔ Abortion
is not healthcare. "An
abortion – 'the guarantee of a dead baby' – is never necessary in the
rare cases when a mother’s life is in jeopardy late in her pregnancy" (source). Please read this entire linked article because it is quite interesting and
offers lots of helpful info.
✔ Proabortion advocates, including proabortion doctors, continue to use this lie to promote abortion. For example:
"Misleading statements in a recent Obstetrics & Gynecology article require correction. No
state has an abortion law that is a total ban on abortion. Every state
law permits abortion when necessary to save a mother’s life" (source).
Rape and Incest:
✔ If you are voting for unlimited abortion because of your concern for rape and incest victims, you
are saying that for every three women who are raped and get abortions, 200 innocent babies
should give their lives, the three babies carried by the raped women and the
197 babies killed for other reasons.
That's because 1.5% of abortions are done for rape and incest and 98.5% for finances, convenience, irresponsibility, etc.
Since you are allowing 200 babies to give their lives for this purpose, let me ask you this: Are you willing to give your life or the lives of your children to guarantee abortion for rape victims? If not, you are a serious hypocrite (Luke 6:31).
Using this reason is also illogical even from a totally secular viewpoint: When Roe was overturned and the decision returned to the States, most State laws made exceptions for those two situations. And it's likely a federal law would do the same.
✔ But it's important to recognize, that allowing abortions in those cases is still playing God. Abortion can actually deepen a woman’s trauma, and it can allow incest abusers to continue abusing.
✔ If you vote for the Democratic platform for unlimited abortion, admit that you are using rape and incest as an excuse. And acknowledge the fact that you are voting for a platform that not only wants unborn babies killed up to the day of delivery, they want living babies killed (source).
✔ If your heart is not hardened, you'll find these videos helpful as well:
Abortion in Cases of Rape, a 3-minute video
Pregnant from Rape, a 53-minute interview with a woman who was raped and chose to keep her child.
✔ See also Planned Parenthood – Aiding Abusers which explains how abortions for rape and incest can allow the abuser to keep raping the victim.
✔ I also recommend any of the videos on Live Action. Most of them are short and filled with accurate facts about abortion from authorities, physicians, and women who have had difficult pregnancies.
