"Prove all things;
hold fast that which is good.
Abstain from all appearance of evil."

It's not even "too much Old Testament", in the Old Testament God is compassionate, shows mercy, is patient and long-suffering. Consider the lesson we learn from Jonah, or the word delivered to Ezekiel that God does not desire the death of the wicked, that God takes no pleasure or joy in the destruction of the wicked by desires that that the wicked repent and change their ways so they might live and have life. God has always been a merciful, compassionate, kind and patient God who has no desire for the destruction of the wicked, who has loving-kindness for the sinner and for the wicked person to change their ways and truly live and have life. -CryptoLutheran

Speaking as someone who HAS been in those situations, I can say that there is no obstacle that is too great that God cannot help us overcome it. Sometimes some of the most difficult situations yield the most rewarding results!
And what about those people who have not found God?

...or "fetuses" which is a term that is somehow supposed to make one believe it is not human and therefore not deserving of our protection, care, or love.
God is awesome!!
