Roe v. Wade

On Sunday, a pair of high-profile Democrats encouraged President Biden to open up federal lands for abortion clinics in conservative states where abortion is largely prohibited or restricted.

Pastor and author Tony Evans is encouraging Christians to embrace a "womb to the tomb" agenda in light of the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, saying the body of Christ must "come alongside" women with "spiritual and tangible support."

American evangelical leaders rejoiced Friday over the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Mississippi, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Many took to social media to recognize the work of those who labored in the pro-life movement over the last fifty years. They also brought attention to the work that needs to be done now that the issue has gone back to the states and called on Christians to serve vulnerable mothers and families. Here is what nine evangelical leaders had to say about the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

When Roe v. Wade was overturned last Friday, I issued a Daily Article Special Edition discussing what happens next in the states. Today, let’s focus on what should happen next for pro-life Christians.

Now that this historic day has come, I wanted to respond immediately by updating and sharing that information and then offering three biblical reflections. Later, we will discuss the ruling in greater depth as we focus on the road forward for the cause of life.

With the news Friday that the Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, Christian leaders across the political and denominational spectrum responded with joy, but also declared that there is still much to be done.

With patient instruction, moral courage, generous hearts, care for women in crisis, and a little political resolve, the worst effects of Roe can be mitigated and the lives of many unborn Americans can be saved.

The big, big question remains: do I believe that we can truly have different convictions if we have the same Holy Spirit of God residing within us? 

So, what now? How should faithful Christians respond now that Roe versus Wade has been reversed?

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overruled Roe v. Wade and sent the issue of abortion back to the states, declaring that the Constitution is silent on abortion. The vote was 5-4 to overturn Roe and 6-3 to uphold the Mississippi law at the center of the case.
