There isn't any issue bigger than abortion. Not one. If one were a "one issue voter" abortion better be it. God judges nations who murder their children en masse as we have. Doesn't matter whatever policy you pass or what measures you take in the same way it didn't matter for Sodom or it wouldn't have mattered for Ninevah. God does not bless nations that do this to their children. Period.

The problem with incrementalists is not necessarily their motivations (though there are undoubtedly some who are very poorly motivated). The problem is not merely practical (though incrementalism is demonstrably failing on practical grounds, with abortion numbers rising in states with so-called “bans”). The problem is theological and moral. When we permit some measure of evil (deciding by legislative fiat which innocent human beings may be killed and which must be protected) we find ourselves in direct opposition to the character and commands of a holy and just God. He tells us never to do evil that good may come of it (Romans 3:8), to “do justice, and only justice” (Deuteronomy 16:20), to show no partiality in judgment (Leviticus 19:15; Deuteronomy 1:17), and not to acquit the guilty (Proverbs 17:15). Yet incrementalist pro-life legislation, insofar as it deliberately withholds legal protection from some innocent human beings while protecting others, violates these very principles. It makes distinctions in the protection of innocent life that justice does not permit. We cannot hope to win a battle by abandoning the very standards of righteousness for which we claim to be fighting. To do so is folly and a striving after wind. God does not call us to compromise His commands in the hope of securing a better outcome. He calls us to obey Him and trust Him with the consequences. “To obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22), and “without faith it is impossible to please him” (Hebrews 11:6). Consider the twelve spies sent to survey the Promised Land. Ten brought back a faithless report, allowing the apparent impossibility of the task to overshadow the promises of God. Joshua and Caleb, however, trusted that the Lord was able to give His people the land, despite the obstacles before them (Numbers 13–14). The issue was not whether the obstacles were real, but whether God could be trusted to fulfill His promises. The problem with incrementalism is ultimately a failure to trust God to accomplish His will in His way. We must not do evil that good may come. We must not surrender justice in the name of expediency. We must not measure faithfulness by what seems politically achievable. Duty is ours, results belong to God.
