Jesus's death on the cross demonstrates that he values the hopeless, the dregs, the dependent — the very categories used to justify abortion. Jesus would rather die than kill the vulnerable.

The cross shows how Jesus feels about those society devalues: the poor, diseased, addicted, those with difficult futures. Many abortion justifications cite the baby's projected quality of life. But Jesus dying for the broken proves he would rather die than kill them. The cross is the ultimate refutation of utilitarian arguments for abortion.
