People have different beliefs. Sadly, many will be destroyed for lack of knowledge. If worldly authority has a higher place for someone that God's Word, then I feel sorry for that person when s/he stands before God's Word.

So then, here you go:

That not only ignores Acts 5:29 but also the broader context of Romans 13 itself.
The sanhedrin was a Jewish government authority who was essentially the supreme court of the Jews. It wasn't merely a group of bishops (there wasn't any bishops). Regardless, who do you think established this authority? Furthermore, Peter didn't merely disagree with the authority, he refused to obey them. Why are you refusing to see that. Why are you rejecting the word of God?
Acts 5:29 The one passage were Peter tells the Sadducees High Priest to take-a-hike, I like that one. Also becasue they were not the accepted authority for public life or evangelism, but limited to high crimes and controlling the temple. Which is why that particular sect disappeared when the temple was destroyed.

You’ve already been ousted as one who values the opinions of man above the truths of God. If you think abortion is God’s will just because a sinful, wicked government institutes it as law, that truly shows how vile your heart is.

Why do I think that? Because I read it, that's why:

1 Peter 2
Titus 3
1 Timothy 2
Psalms 22:28
Daniel 2:20-21
Romans 13
1 Timothy 2
Deuteronomy 16:18-20
Revelation 1
Romans 13

Proverbs 21 - A king’s heart is like streams of water in the LORD’s hand:
He directs it wherever He chooses. All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD evaluates the motives.

John 19:11
Mark 3:24
Proverbs 29
Proverbs 8:15
Psalms 94:20
Deuteronomy 28
Daniel 2:21
John 19:10-11

Murdering unborn babies in their mother's womb is not God's Will nor permitted under any spiritual pretense of obeyance to gov't, and it is a mishandling of scripture & breaking the 6th Commandment to claim this is the case.

Proverbs 21 - A king’s heart is like streams of water in the LORD’s hand:So by your argument,
He directs it wherever He chooses. All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD evaluates the motives.

John 19:11
Mark 3:24
Proverbs 29
Proverbs 8:15
Psalms 94:20
Deuteronomy 28
Daniel 2:21
John 19:10-11
So by your argument, if the government ordered the death of Christians, as many have you would be obliged to obey> What about the almost unanimous opposition of the early Christian leaders to do so? Sure they never waged a war against Rome but they never capitulated either.

I read this passage:

11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.

And I've checked to see if Jesus was telling the truth about the Father
working through local law. I found it was correct.
What Does the Bible Say About Government? - OpenBible.info
I've begun including all the context.
Thanks for suggesting it!
But I do provide links to the context as much as possible.

Jesus was specifically referring to His own sacrifice on Calvary for the sins of the world which was God's plan for Salvation to save souls from God's righteous judgment & the penalty for sin. It was a fulfillment of the prophecy written in God's word. Isaiah 53:5
The attempts to use the word of God in a fallacious manner to justify the ripping apart of the innocent unborn in their mother's womb's as if it's God's will is manipulation of the meaning of scriptures. The misrepresenting God's Word & speaking for Him is a serious thing especially when you are claiming murder of the unborn, I would recommend you reconsider.

You be the judge:

1 Peter 2:13-17
Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

Titus 3:1
Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

That is an interesting way of looking at the topic.....Being subject and obedient to the institutions that rule over us does not mean we should do anything which they make legal, abortion is still a choice and we are fortunate that we still have the choice in this day and age to be obedient to God as well as the government, many states in the US have made the growth and consumption of cannabis legal, does it mean we aren't subjecting ourselves to their authority if we choose not to smoke it ? Where there is no conflict between God's laws and those of the land we live in then God's laws must always trump those of man ! So in essence just because man has made abortion legal for you it doesn't mean that you are being disobedient and a bad citizen worthy of God's wrath ! experiencers meet miscarried or aborted children in higher dimensions.

Obeying government takes precedent over the written code in scripture.

Not so fast.

Off the top of my head...

1. Psalms "Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by a statute?"
2.Rahab the harlot lied to her government (hid the Israeli spies) and was commended in James and Hebrews for her FAITH!
3. Moses' parents "saw that the child was beautiful and WERE NOT AGRAID OF THE KING'S EDICT"! (Hebrews)
4. Etc.

No "rules" can bind God's children in every circumstance. Faith does exceptional things!

New York State Assembly Passes Third Trimester Abortion Bill
Obviously, GOD allows abortion because it happens; so does HE allow murder, divorce, and all other forms of evil. Why is another subject. Neither can we pick a few verses from the Bible and give those verses the purpose of allowing something we want to do or believe. That is not the purpose of any verse. The Bible's purpose is to give us a picture of a Child of GOD, who is a spiritual being destined to live on a different plane of existence other than the Physical Reality of which we currently consider ourselves a part. GOD even provided us a living example of a Child of GOD (Son) in the form of Jesus.

The primary purpose of abortion is to allow sexual activity outside of marriage without taking the consequences of an unwanted child. This motive is self-serving. Self-serving motives have no eternal value because they are automatically divisive; and what is eternal must be in unity--the same Spirit seeking the same Purpose by everyone according to their gifts and abilities.

On this plane of existence, we need to work to rid ourselves of the self-serving nature while focusing on the highest Purpose of GOD we can envision and contribute accordingly. That nature has no eternal value, and all lifestyles it creates will eventually be destroyed--including those related to abortion, murder, divorce, etc.

True, there's a lot of sin going on out there.
