If abortion is murder, should the woman and those who help her face punishment?
A viewer asks whether, if Christians believe abortion is outright murder and completely immoral, the woman and anyone who helps her obtain an abortion should face consequences or punishment.
Answer
If they do not get it in this life, and the odds are they may not, then they will pay for it in the afterlife, because abortion is murder and so they are guilty of murder. First, we have to be careful how we define abortion, because we even have Catholics who use contraception that kills a fertilized ovum, and that is abortion too. But here is another reality: we are not going to get away with anything. God says in the Psalms that he watches you with eyes like the sun beating down on the earth, so he knows every little thing you do, every thought and every motive; nothing escapes him. So if you get away with helping someone get an abortion here, you are not going to get away with it forever, that is for sure.
