No one can ever be worthy of redemption.
Jesus makes us worthy because of His righteousness.
There's nothing the doctor can do to make up for this.
If he could, then he would not need forgiveness.
Forgiveness is not something we can earn. It is by God's unmerited, undeserved grace He shows to us when we turn away from sin and pledge ourselves to operate in agreement with Him instead of against Him.
God forgives repentant sinners.

John Z is wrong. While none of us are worthy of God's redemption, He is a God full of love, forgiveness and mercy. If an abortion doctor or a liar or any sinner is truly repentant God will forgive the moment the person asks. We are justified (means just as if we'd never sinned) by the blood of Jesus. So on judgement day we stand before God, covered by the blood of Jesus, just as if we'd never sinned. There will not be a judgement for you concerning your "washed away" sins; only your works will be judged, but these do not concern your salvation, only your rewards in heaven.

The Bible teaches us that no one is WORTHY, but all are welcomed to salvation through Jesus Christ. The abortion Dr. can receive the same loving gift of grace as anyone else.

Yes. Everyone is. That whole 'it's not the healthy who need a doctor' thing is easy to say but when confronted with it, it often leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of some people.

N0 ONE is Worthy of redemption. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Christ is Worthy and chose to redeem us in-spite of OUR unworthiness. That is the greatness of His mercy and Love.

Yes you are worthy of redemption, but you will still be judged on Judgement day. Thou shall not murder. The prison gaurds that execute prisoners on deathrow are killing someone not murdering someone. God will judge you not me.

NO ONE is worthy of redemption! It is only by Gods mercy and grace and Jesus' blood that we are forgived, redeemed.

DEFINENTELY. even the muderers, rapists, and thieves can all come to God and repent and be redeemed through Jesus's blood.
we are NOT WORTHY of being redeemed. it's only through the GRACE OF GOD--his kindness--that we are saved.

Of course. The Bible even gives instructions on how to cause an abortion for pregnancy caused by adultery:
Numbers 5:12-31 (see your Bible for the entire thing)
" . . . If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, And a man lie with her carnally, . . . and she be defiled, . . . . Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, . . . . And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water: . . . and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse . . . and say unto the woman, . . . . if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband . . . . And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. . . . . . And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot . . . . And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed . . . . ."
