consider Proverbs 24:11-12.
Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not requite man according to his work?
Here is the biblical precedent for educating people to choose against abortion: Ephesians 5:11.
Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
John Piper responds to Paul's charge this way:
I hope you hear the force of [the command in Ephesians 5:11]. It is radically different from the passivity and moral withdrawal of many Christians. Many believers have a passive avoidance ethic and that is all. In other words they think: if I avoid the works of darkness, and don't do them myself, then I am doing my Christian duty. I'm clean. I'm in the light. But that is not what verse 11 says. It says you are only doing half your duty. "Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness"--that's an avoidance ethic. That's half your duty. But it goes on, and in fact puts stress on the next phrase because it is easily overlooked and because it can be very costly: "Rather even expose them!" Don't just avoid the works of darkness, EXPOSE them. This is not avoidance. This is action.... [God] is calling all Christians--to expose the dark and fruitless work of abortion . . .
"Exposing the Dark Work of Abortion" -- January 26, 1992
We are not God's children because we imitate God, rather we imitate God because we are His children. We do not "walk in love" so that God will love us. Rather, we walk in love because God has loved us. We do not "let our light shine" (upon the deeds of darkness) so that we'll be made "children of light". Rather, we let our light shine because we are children of light. There are ramifications of being united to Christ (if we are united to Him!) and they cannot be avoided. We do not defend the defenseless to be acceptable to Him, we defend the defenseless because the acceptance we've already gained through His death, allows us to do no less. So let us throw down the dreaded Christian idols of "personal peace" and "affluence", and pursue with joy all that the Bible calls us to. May we go boldly forth into the world and be who we are, in Christ.
(from the mouth of
John Piper):
The root cause of abortion is the failure to be satisfied in God as our supreme love. And, for all the great legal work that needs to be done to protect human life, the greatest work that needs to be done is to spread a passion - a satisfaction for the supremacy of God in all things. That's our calling.
