It\u2019s as if they still believe others can dictate what they do with their own bodies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How should we respond?<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, this is not the time to gloat. And with all my heart, I believe we must do our best to reach out to those who are angry and fearful, and demonstrate love, longsuffering, and grace. This is not the time to win a debate as much as the time to change hearts and minds.<\/p>\n<p>But without any question whatsoever, this is also a time to rejoice, with everything within us. This is a time to give God praise!<\/p>\n<p>Here are five reasons why.<\/p>\n<p>1. The overturning of Roe is a massive answer to prayer.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it for a moment. There has been prayer all day and night for Roe to be reversed for years. Prayer meetings have been held for decades. Large rallies were organized for supplication to the Lord. Countless prayers have reached the throne of God asking Him to have mercy on the unborn. People have fasted, cried out and made all kinds of sacrifices for this moment.<\/p>\n<p>How can we not rejoice and give thanks? God has acted! The Sovereign Lord has responded to the cries of His people! It would be ungrateful, not to mention irreverent, if we failed to worship Him, praise Him and celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>This is a constant theme of the Bible: God\u2019s people cry out, He answers from heaven, and we give Him praise.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, we are looking at what might be the most dramatic answer to prayer on a corporate level that we have seen in our lifetimes. In the words of Jesus in another context, if we do not lift our voices in praise, the rocks will cry out instead (Luke 19:40).<\/p>\n<p>2. The lives of innocent babies will be saved.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion on demand is a monstrous evil. The shedding of innocent blood is one of the most grievous sins in God\u2019s sight. And the more we understand about the development of the baby in the womb \u2013 with scientists largely agreeing that life begins at conception and with the child receiving its DNA coding at that moment \u2013 the more we realize that there is a little human being in there.<\/p>\n<p>A former Planned Parenthood worker wept on my radio show for that very reason, as she talked about the \u201cproducts of conception.\u201d She was referring to the jars kept in one of the rooms of the clinic filled with the severed parts of tiny humans.<\/p>\n<p>And while the Court\u2019s decision does not outlaw abortion throughout the country, it is already saving lives. That\u2019s because clinics are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-61933814\">shutting down<\/a> in different states, which means that more women will think again before they abort, which will result in less abortions.<\/p>\n<p>How can we not give thanks \u2014 loudly and publicly \u2014 for this?<\/p>\n<p>3. A massive injustice was reversed.<\/p>\n<p>The Roe decision of 1973, followed by the Casey decision of 1992, was not just bad law. It was massively unjust. It claimed that there was a constitutional right to abortion, thereby turning justice and righteousness on their heads.<\/p>\n<p>Not only so, but the legalizing of abortion on demand (potentially, for any reason, right until the moment of delivery), normalized the idea of abortion in America. As my friend Dr. Frank Turek has often pointed out, the law can do one of three things. It can prohibit a behavior, permit a behavior, or promote a behavior.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of abortion, just as in the case of the redefining of marriage, the Court\u2019s 1973 decision helped to promote something aberrant in our land. The new ruling \u2014 the correct ruling \u2014 goes a long way to set that right.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion has been a way of life for tens of millions of Americans for almost 50 years. We\u2019ve grown up with it as normative. Reversing it is a massive return toward goodness.<\/p>\n<p>Remember this principle, which is still applicable, as you read through the Old Testament. God hates unjust laws. It is important in His sight that they are removed and replaced.<\/p>\n<p>For this we give Him thanks.<\/p>\n<p>4. Many women\u2019s lives will be saved.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that mothers are also deeply wounded by abortion. Many carry scars for years. And so, in the end, less abortions will mean less women who are damaged and hurt.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve heard these stories on my radio show as well, as these women (and even men) <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nqfzJdYXxKg\">sobbed<\/a> as they recounted abortions they had decades ago \u2014 and these were Christian women who knew they were forgiven. Some of them told me that they were strongly pro-choice when they aborted their babies, and they remained pro-choice for years afterwards. But all the while,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As pro-life believers across America are shouting for joy and giving thanks for the overturning of Roe, many women in America are terrified right now, causing them to be more muted in their celebration.
