The national debate over abortion has entered a new and dangerous phase. In recent days, the New York Times Editorial Board openly urged Congress to pass sweeping legislation that would restore nationwide abortion rights — and even exceed the framework of Roe v. Wade and Casey. This push includes unrestricted access to abortion pills, the repeal of the Comstock Act, publicly funded abortion, and the integration of abortion into “mainstream medicine.”
For Christians who believe the Sanctity of Life begins at conception, this represents a seismic shift. What the Supreme Court returned to the states in Dobbs, the cultural Left now seeks to recapture at the federal level. And the strategy is intentional: redefine abortion as healthcare, expand access through medication abortion, and position pro-life states as obstacles to “reproductive freedom.”
This worldview collision requires clear thinking and biblical conviction. To help Christians understand the scope of the argument, Dr. Albert Mohler addressed the issue head-on in the November 13, 2025 edition of The Briefing. His first segment focuses exclusively on abortion — warning of a moral revolution accelerating before our eyes.
Watch: Dr. Albert Mohler Explains the New National Argument for Abortion
(The Briefing — November 13, 2025)
A Moral Argument Christians Cannot Ignore
Dr. Mohler highlights a new rhetorical strategy: pro-abortion advocates are no longer merely defending abortion as a “necessary evil” or a “tragic choice.” Instead, they’re calling for a permanent federal guarantee — a national standard ensuring access in all 50 states. This would override state protections for unborn children and eliminate meaningful restrictions on abortion pills and telehealth abortions.
This is not accidental. It is not subtle.
It is an open call to reshape the legal landscape of the United States according to a worldview that rejects the biblical truth that every life is made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27).
Returning to Scripture’s Witness on Life
The Virginia Christian Alliance (VCA) has long upheld the biblical doctrine of the Sanctity of Life. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture affirms that human life begins at conception, is crafted intentionally by God, and must be protected. Psalm 139:13–14 describes the womb as the place where God Himself knits every human being together. The early church echoed this clarity, condemning abortion and infanticide as direct assaults on God’s creation.
In light of today’s accelerating moral revolution, Christians must recover this clarity again. A culture that dismisses the value of unborn life will inevitably dismiss the value of all human life — the elderly, the disabled, and the inconvenient.
Why the Church Must Not Be Silent
The coming debate over federalized abortion access will not remain theoretical. It will shape public policy, influence elections, and test the resolve of believers. Churches cannot retreat. Pastors cannot remain silent. Families and citizens must prepare to defend life with biblical conviction and compassionate clarity.
Silence is not neutrality. Silence is surrender.

Conclusion: The Moment Demands Courage
As lawmakers, cultural elites, and media institutions push for a national abortion mandate, Christians are called to speak with courage, conviction, and compassion. We must defend every human life — born and unborn — as a sacred gift from God.
The Sanctity of Life is not simply a political issue.
- It is a theological issue.
- It is a Gospel issue.
- It is a call to faithfulness.
Now is the time for Christians to stand firm, speak truth, and protect the smallest among us.
