If you're anti-abolition, I'd encourage you to perform a simple exercise: search through the Bible for the word justice (blueletterbible makes this really easy, I'd look at the pentateuch, Proverbs, and the prophets) and answer the questions:
1. What does God demand of his people regarding justice?
2. What does God do to those who pervert or deny justice?
Then ask: What, biblically, is justice for abortion, the murder of a human being created in the image of God to whom God has given life?
If you did the work, you know it is unbiblical, even sinful, to advocate for or celebrate anything less than true justice. That is abolitionism. Quit letting the arguments or behaviors of men hold sway in your position towards abolition. What does God's word say?

Why is @OfficialAlamo violating the constitutional rights of citizens based on the content of their messages?! I personally attempted to educate these tyrants about the laws and the constitutional RIGHT to free speech in a traditional public forum...
@Dante_romas@FrankLets78822 All the elect are saved by grace in Christ, whether infants or adults. And election itself is an act of grace. I would think even conditional election-ists would agree, no?
Are infants not saved by grace?
Proverbs 14:1
The wise woman builds her house, but the woman of folly tears it down with her own hands.
Read this to the boys tonight. Thankful for a wise wife. There are too many foolish women in this nation who would destroy it.

Hebrews 3:12 LSB
See to it brothers, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
Unbelief comes from the heart. Belief comes from the heart. Faith comes from the heart.
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the full knowledge of Him, so that you—the eyes of your heart having been enlightened—will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe according to the working of the might of His strength, which He worked in Christ, by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
"XXVI. Although God offers the word to the reprobate for this end-that by their obstinacy they may rendered inexcusable-he does not therefore offer it that they may reject it, for this is a sin which God neither intends nor does. Rather he offers it that the latent perversity of their hearts may be made manifest (Lk. 2:35) and that by this rejection of the word (arising from the man himself), he may have the occasion of displaying his justice in the infliction of punishment. Now although man could not receive the word without grace (which God does not will to bestow upon him), he must not therefore be considered as calling in order that he may reject him. Rejection does not follow of itself from the nature of calling, but accidentally from the depravity of the man himself. For although he could not receive the word without grace, still the rejection springs from no other source than his stubborn wickedness.
"XXVII. Man does not cease to be inexcusable although he does what God intended because he does not do what God commanded; as Herod and Pontius Pilate are nonetheless inexcusable although they did nothing but what the hand of the counsel of God had decreed before to be done (Acts 4:28). The decree is not the rule of our actions, only the precept."
-Francis Turretin (Elenctic Theology, Fifteenth Topic "Calling and Faith", 2nd Question "The Calling of the Reprobate")
"God's perfections are reflexive. Another ramification of the total identity of God's perfections with his essence is that God's perfections are reflexive. That is, they are focused on him; each of the perfections is active toward God as their perfect object. What God is, he is to and for himself before his perfections are directed toward anything or anyone else."
-MacArthur's Biblical Doctrine
