South Dakota's new law is anti-Christian

South Dakota's strict new abortion law, intended to challenge Roe v. Wade, prohibits abortions even when the pregnancy endangers the mother's life, and even when she has been molested by a family member or raped.

Some so-called "Christians" hail this as a success, but I was raised to believe that Christ stood for love, peace and compassion. Forcing a woman to bear the child of her rapist is neither loving, peaceful nor compassionate. It is cruel not only to the mother but also to her child.

I can see how a fellow Christian might come to oppose most abortions, but South Dakota's new law is patently anti-Christian. I am sick and tired of watching the forces of evil take over our country in the name of my Lord and Savior.
