Yet even though she is grateful that Roe has been overturned, Prior cautioned Christians against being hasty with how they move forward, saying that Roe\u2019s absence gives us a unique opportunity to create beneficial legislation. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor example,\u201d said Prior, \u201cwe need to learn the difference between between intervening in the case of an ectopic pregnancy, which is going to be fatal to both mother and child and an abortion.\u201d Because Roe was the law of the land for so long, Christians haven\u2019t had to think through how the answer to such questions will impact the laws we create\u2014but now in some states we have new opportunities.<\/p>\n
Said Prior, \u201cWe\u2019re going to have to educate ourselves quickly and thoughtfully and not just rush to put legislation in place that would be disastrous or uninformed or medically irresponsible. Of course, we want all of these laws to protect all of the human lives involved, but that\u2019s not something that happens quickly and overnight. We have to really understand what it means to be pro-life and how to apply that in principle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wade, says Karen Swallow Prior, it is important to move forward with caution, nuance and compassion. @KSPrior<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/PD9l2eKvxs<\/a> @ChurchLead<\/a> #KarenSwallowPrior<\/a> #abortion<\/a><\/p>\n — ChurchLeaders.com (@ChurchLead) June 30, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
