2½ months before Roe v Wade was overturned, 15 women who have experienced abortion shouted their abortion regret at the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the “Jackson” in Dobbs vs Jackson. Hear Serena Dyksen and other women tell the story of the spiritual warfare they fought that day.
Why MybodyMyworship?
The pro-choice movement says, “My body. My choice.” We say, "it’s my body and therefore my choice to worship in spirit and truth!"
Our worship and our bodies are intertwined! There are many ways to worship—with hymns (e.g., 2 Chronicles 20:22), on our knees (e.g., 2 Chronicles 20:26), with service (e.g., Romans 12:1), even dancing (e.g., 2 Chronicles 20:19).
But Christians should also worship with their whole bodies in a Levitical sense, meaning that they should be pure before the Lord and not conform to this world. We get this from Romans 12:1-2:
Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. ~The Apostle Paul
