A respectful challenge to Christians supporting the new Amendment 3:
We are not asking whether you have prayed about it. We hope you have.
We are asking whether you can defend your vote from the written Word of God.
Not from polling.
Not from political strategy.
Not from “this is the best we can do.”
Not from “God laid it on my heart.”
**Chapter and verse.**
Let’s be clear: if the new Amendment 3 simply repealed Missouri’s terrible 2024 abortion amendment, we could support that. Repealing that evil would be a good and necessary thing.
But that is not where this amendment stops.
It goes on to write abortion exceptions into the Missouri Constitution — including r**e, in**st, fetal anomaly, and medical emergency. For r**e and in**st, it allows abortion up to 12 weeks.
That means the question before Christians is not merely:
“Is this better than what we have now?”
The question is:
**Does God permit civil law to protect some innocent children while leaving others legally available to be killed?**
Many supporters say, “This is the best we can do.”
But Christians should be very careful with that argument.
Scripture repeatedly warns us not to fear man more than God. The question is not whether the polling looks hard. The question is whether God has commanded us to do justice.
Over and over in Scripture, God places His people in fights too big for them so that they will know He is the Lord. He does not call His people to calculate obedience by visible odds. He calls them to obey.
If the child in the womb is an image-bearer of God, then we do not have authority to decide which innocent children receive legal protection and which ones become the price of political strategy.
Some supporters have appealed to Luke 15 — the shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to rescue the one.
But that parable does not support sacrificing the one to protect the ninety-nine.
It teaches the opposite.
Jesus says the shepherd leaves the ninety-nine in the open country and goes after the one that is lost until he finds it. The Good Shepherd does not count the vulnerable one as an acceptable loss. He pursues the one. He rescues the one. He rejoices over the one.
If anything, Luke 15 condemns the logic behind Amendment 3.
Children conceived in r**e or in**st are being treated as the “acceptable loss” in order to politically protect others. Children diagnosed with a fetal anomaly are being treated as exceptions to justice. But they are not less human. They are not less innocent. They are not less made in the image of God.
And let’s be honest about the practical side too.
The claim is that this amendment is “better than nothing” and will save lives. But abortion pills are available by mail. Women can still travel to other states. And as written, the amendment itself does not require a police report, prosecution, conviction, or any clear verification standard before the r**e or in**st exception is used.
So we are being asked to compromise on innocent blood in exchange for a political promise that may not even deliver what supporters claim.
That is not a biblical standard.
God’s Word says, “You shall not murder.”
God’s Word says, “Rescue those who are being taken away to death.”
God’s Word says, “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.”
God’s Word does not say, “Protect the unborn, except when the polling is difficult.”
So here is the question every Christian voter, pastor, lawmaker, and pro-life leader should be willing to answer:
**Where does Scripture authorize us to protect some innocent children while leaving others legally available to be killed?**
If we cannot defend that from Scripture, we should not defend it in law.
Repealing the 2024 abortion amendment would be good.
But replacing it with constitutional exceptions for the killing of innocent children is not justice.
Partial protection may be a political strategy.
Equal protection is Biblical justice.
The Good Shepherd did not sacrifice the one for the ninety-nine. He went after the one.
Missouri should do the same.
**Vote NO on the new Amendment 3. Demand total protection for every unborn child, from conception.**
