TikTok videos show pro-abortion women retaliating against the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
They’re warning “pro-life” men that a lack of access to abortion could threaten “hookup culture.” They’re calling for “abstinence” apart from commitment. They’re demanding men who cause women to be pregnant to share financial responsibility and help raise the child.
They believe these demands will punish “pro-life” men.
Chelsea and I believe these TikTok women have no idea what “pro-life” really means.
What these women think are ultimatums are what we have been saying all along. The Bible teaches abstinence before marriage, that men and women should seek a lifelong spouse, and that men should be fathers who sacrifice for their wife and children.
Christians should use these misunderstandings as opportunities to explain the truth about “pro-life” and ultimately to share the gospel.
