I know this series on Talarico's quotes isn't popular with some readers, but I feel compelled to address these serious lies about the Lord and His Word (Galatians 1:10).
“This idea that there is a set Christian orthodoxy on the issue of ab..tion is just not rooted in Scripture.” James Talarico
He claims “in context of ab..tion … God asks for Mary's consent” to carry the Savior. Therefore, Talarico concludes that God is fine with a woman killing her child if she doesn't want it.
When asked about late-term procedures, he said they are “almost exclusively to save the life of the mother.”
Let's see what Scripture says:
1. The sanctity of unborn life is deeply “rooted in Scripture.”
See six Scriptures that show life begins at conception HERE.
2. Adam's creation was 100% unique (Genesis 2:4-25).
There was no pregnancy involved. Using Talarico's logic, we could claim no woman is alive until a man gives her one of his ribs (Genesis 2:21-22).
3. In Luke 1:26-38, Gabriel never asks Mary's permission.(1)
Mary simply affirmed her willingness to fulfill God's plan. And Mary wasn't pregnant yet. To use this comparison would mean no woman gets pregnant without her consent, and we know that's not true.
And regarding late-term ab..tions: “The American Medical Association has reported that a late-term ab..tion is generally not necessary to save the life of the mother.” (source)
Talarico makes it clear that you can't approve ab..tion without believing lies.
And Proverbs 24:10-12 offers a strong warning to those who refuse to speak against the slaughter of the innocent.

(1) Using Mary as an example for this claim is even stranger because she is an example of someone who did the right thing even though it was difficult. See Mary Was Promised Soul-Piercing Pain & Incredible Joy. And for more encouragement, see Jesus Isn't Looking for Silent Partners.
