Well, I sure hope you interpreted Scripture correctly to understand that you can trust in God's grace! Because well... that's what you did. You apparently read in Scripture something about God's grace, and you interpreted it to mean that you could trust in it.

All this does is demonstrate how good we are at killing unborn babies. We can do it quickly and safely. But again, that of course has absolutely nothing at all to do with whether or not it's moral to actually do it.

It's certainly not moral to force women to be exposed to danger against their will. That notion is not pro-life at all.

Dr. Willie Parker reminds me of Dr. George Tiller, he had a similar story. Dr. Tiller also did not believe abortion was right when he first started practicing womens healthcare, but actually getting to know women's stories lead to a change in his perceptions of the issue.

His ethics are consistent with what Pr. Ed Knudson, in our own religious denomination, has had to say about the issue. It's not about being religiously correct or self-righteous, it's about responding to human needs that we encounter in our vocations.

he seems to be using the account of the women found in adultery as a proof text to abort babies and not even the biblical account but an interpretation of a painting of the account with some clear imaginative details. He might have something if he was only talking about ministering to women who have already gone through abortion but it is a different conversation when we are talking about a woman who desires to have an abortion and he is facilitating it as a physician.

in the biblical account, the woman was already caught and judged. Jesus is not helping the women commit adultery, he is helping the woman who has already committed adultery and those are very different positions.

Ok, to address this absolute fallacy - The cases of the labour/ pregancy being a danger to the Mother's health and also cases of pregnancy through rape account for, in total, 7.5% (as of overall US, 2004). As another example, 92.3% of all abortions in Florida during 2015 were undertaken with no reason being stated. It's not much better in other parts of the world either, I'm in the UK. I personally know of someone who had 7 abortions before the age of 21 purely and simply out of convenience.

In other words, - no one is forcing women to danger against their will. However those women did wilfully undertake in having sex, one possible outcome of which being a pregnancy.
You know who has been exposed to (and killed) by danger against their will ? The babies in their Mothers wombs.
