Colorado Leadership Weighs Taxpayer Funded Abortions
In the next couple days, Colorado legislation will be considering the approval of taxpayer-funded abortions. I will be visiting the State Capital, beginning tomorrow to listen to these debates and wanted to provide my thoughts. It is imperative we step back and ask a crucial question: Should everyone be forced to pay for the personal choices of others, especially when those choices end a human life? The short answer is no. The government has no business demanding that the collective conscience and pocketbook of the people be used to fund abortions.
Let’s be clear: abortion is not a public good. It is not a highway, a school, or a fire department. It is an elective procedure, almost always the result of preventable circumstances. According to multiple studies, over 96% of abortions occur due to lifestyle choices or convenience. That’s not hyperbole—those numbers are consistent. So why, then, should the other 96% of society be burdened to fund what is almost entirely preventable through abstinence, personal responsibility, or widely accessible birth control? Shouldn’t we be asking: how do we minimize the risk or prevent the 96% rather than enabling it?
We live in a culture where choice is praised—until it comes with consequences. Then, it becomes a demand: make the taxpayers pay. But that’s not how a free society works. Choice and responsibility are two sides of the same coin. If you choose to engage in behavior that can create life, you also choose to bear the responsibility that comes with it. And if you choose to terminate that life, don’t ask your neighbors to finance it. Oh, and by the way, since abortion is clearly being defined as a “women’s” right, implying those capable of becoming pregnant and bearing a child, I think this argument also answers the question, “what is a women”, right?
As a man, let’s just be real, let’s talk candidly about why many men support abortion.
First, most men who support abortion is not out of conviction, but out of cowardice. They fear conflict in their relationships, whether with a partner, spouse, daughter, or friend—and so they take the path of least resistance. They remain silent or even cheer abortion on, not because they believe it’s morally right, but because of what’s in it for them. They want to avoid friction in the home or the social backlash that comes with taking an unpopular stand. These men have failed to raise their children to be responsible and to cherish life. Fathers who have no control of their homes, no authority, leadership tend to place friendship with their children over parenting their children. Now we have a generation of youth wearing t-shirts that read, “I love abortion” or a picture of a fetus with a knife through it. Abortion access becomes their own personal get out of failed parenting card.
Second, today’s young adult males are plagued by low self-worth and identity confusion. Young men today are often desperately looking for identity and purpose in all the wrong places. They lack strong male role models, have been raised in an age of moral relativism, and are bombarded by progressive ideologies that reward conformity over truth. By publicly supporting abortion, they feel included, relevant, and accepted in the dominant cultural narrative—even if it contradicts their inner conscience. In time, this pressure warps their worldview, and they adopt the lie as their truth. Also, since we are being honest, examine those males dominating the colleges and progressive abortion movements, and you will find, those also provide access to relationships and companionship that they otherwise may not have.
Third – and again, let’s be honest – most men support abortion for the most selfish reason of all: many men want sexual relations without responsibility. They want the freedom to sleep around without consequences. Abortion offers a convenient out. It’s a backdoor escape from fatherhood, child support, and life-altering commitments. In the past, such men would pressure or even bully women into abortions. Today, they hide behind the banner of “women’s rights” while quietly celebrating their own personal escape clause.
These men don’t care about “healthcare.” They care about access. They say things like, "I support abortion in case my girlfriend or daughter gets raped," while simultaneously voting for soft-on-crime policies that release rapists and sex offenders without bail into their daughter’s neighborhood. The hypocrisy is glaring. You minimize the risk of rape by first making the punishment fit the crime – period. One of the purposes of the law is a restraining influence, as the punishment for breaking the law served as a deterrent to lawless behavior. Abortion is no different. Once you remove consequences and responsibility from one's actions and place them on another, abortions will increase and further the decline of the family unit.
Abortion is not healthcare. Pregnancy is not a disease. And the child in the womb is not a tumor. This is about morality, responsibility, and truth.
The Silence of the Pulpit: When Shepherds Fear Man More Than God
There is another group whose silence has enabled this culture of death: pastors. Many of today's church leaders have failed to preach the holiness of God and the sanctity of life. Out of fear of offending congregants, losing attendance, or being labeled as “political,” they have grown silent on the issue of abortion. But their silence speaks volumes. When was the last time your Pastor stood in the community square or vocally defended the truth of the Word of God against abortion???? Maybe you should ask him why…
Scripture is clear: "Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter" (Proverbs 24:11). When pastors refuse to confront abortion from the pulpit, they are not neutral—they are complicit and one day will give an account before God.
Too many pastors have chosen tolerance over truth, fearing man more than God. But Jesus warned, "Whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 10:33). Paul made it clear that we are not to seek the approval of man: "For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would NOT be a servant of Christ" (Galatians 1:10).
When shepherds stop warning the flock, the wolves devour freely. When pastors stay silent on moral issues for the sake of comfort or political neutrality, they bear a measure of guilt. As Ezekiel 33:6 says, "But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood."
Pastors can’t ride the fence, preaching that all humanity bears the image of God, that God knits the fetus in the womb, or a life is a precious gift from God and at the same time support the murder of God’s creation.
This is not just a cultural battle—it is a spiritual one. Pastors must return to preaching the full counsel of God, including the parts that convict, challenge, and call people to repentance. Until they do, the Church will continue to lose its prophetic voice, and innocent lives will continue to be lost—both in the womb and in the pews.
The Complicity of the Comfortable: When Christians Choose Comfort Over Conviction
Yet it’s not just pastors. Genuine Christians—those who know the truth and claim to follow Christ—must also take a hard look in the mirror. Too many believers remain silent while the abortion rate increases. They pray for God to intervene as if He were a genie: "Poof, there it is." But throughout Scripture, we see that God uses His people to accomplish His will. Faith without action is dead (James 2:17).
These same Christians often hope someone else will stand in the community square, someone else will write the letters, speak out, volunteer, or vote their conscience. This kind of lazy Christianity is not only unbiblical—it calls into question the sincerity of their faith and the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:13-14). Salt that loses its saltiness is worthless, and a light hidden under a basket helps no one. We were never called to be passive spectators in a dark world—we were called to be bold ambassadors for Christ.
Paul reminded Timothy that "God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7). Silence is not humility. Passivity is not love. And indifference is not Christlike.
In moments of moral crisis, silence is sin. It’s time for the body of Christ to rise—not just in prayer, but in action. God is not waiting on Washington. He's waiting on us.
Abortion: A Demonic Assault on the Family Unit
At its core, abortion is not just a political or social issue, it is a spiritual attack. It is yet another strategic chess move by God’s arch-enemy, Satan, to destroy what God loves: the family. From the beginning, Satan has sought to pervert, corrupt, and dismantle the image of God reflected in marriage, children, and the household.
Jesus said of Satan, “He was a murderer from the beginning... there is no truth in him” (John 8:44). Abortion is one of the clearest reflections of that murderous spirit. It ends innocent lives, devastates mothers, removes fathers from responsibility, and fractures the foundation of society.
The enemy knows that strong families raise strong believers. So what better way to erode the Church than to eliminate children before they ever take their first breath, deceive women into thinking it’s empowerment, and convince men that silence equals compassion? This is spiritual warfare—plain and simple.
Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
We must stop treating abortion as a peripheral issue and recognize it as a full-scale demonic assault against God's divine order. And we must respond accordingly—with prayer, truth, courage, and unwavering commitment to protect what God has created.
Colorado leaders attempt to normalize and institutionalize the funding of abortion with your tax dollars. It punishes those that are responsible by enable the irresponsible. It disregards deeply held convictions and forces participation in an act that many believe is morally abhorrent.
This is not about choice. This is about coerced complicity.
Church, we must ask ourselves: are we willing to stand by while our taxes are used to fund something we fundamentally oppose? Or will we draw a line and say: enough is enough. Responsibility begins with the individual, not the taxpayer. And the value of human life should never be determined by a budget line.
We need to stop taking a back seat, expecting others to take a stand. We need to stand up, speak up, and even call our leaders and say no to taxpayer-funded abortion.
Let’s be clear: abortion is not a public good. It is not a highway, a school, or a fire department. It is an elective procedure, almost always the result of preventable circumstances. According to multiple studies, over 96% of abortions occur due to lifestyle choices or convenience. That’s not hyperbole—those numbers are consistent.

Thank you for another outstanding blog post. The number of church-going Christians I've spoken with who believe abortion is a moral right of every woman is just staggering to me. They are clearly not hearing the full truth of God's word in church on Sundays. Thank you for being one of the pastors who boldly speaks truth and who gives us the full counsel of God's word. Thank you for not shying away from important social issues.
I am working on the phrase "lazy Christians" which is contained in other blogs as well. What comes to mind is trying to understand how flawed the belief system is of these lazy Christians? What do these people believe in or they not believe in that produces such apathy? Thanks again for a very reasoned article. It is a reflection of a very solid belief system founded on the Agape God we love, serve and worship.
Thank you for taking a biblical stand on this extremely important issue, and going to the capitol for these arguments. I too oppose the forcing of all Colorado taxpayers to finance abortions, as it violates the rights of those who are morally opposed to elective abortions, in favor of those who choose to terminate a human life for convenience sake. I believe that if our society shared a clear biblical understanding and agreement of when human life begins, then laws against abortion would be completely unnecessary, because killing a human fetus would be murder, and therefore completely illegal.
