They were sitting in the waiting room at the abortion clinic when Chris made a last attempt at talking her out of it. You don't have to do this. I want to get serious.

Recent statistics say no.
In one year almost a quarter of a million women getting abortions identified themselves as evangelical or born-again Christians. With simple logic, it is easy to see the probability of a similar number of Christian men who gave assent to, or encouraged, the abortion of the children they fathered. What's more, the number keeps increasing. It is having a profoundly negative impact on believers, according to Warren Williams, who has counseled 65 postabortive fathers. He knows that without the grace of God killing a child requires the death penalty, a life for a life.
