There is a lot in your post that could be responded to, but, if I may, I'll talk about the most important.
There are a LOT of people who don't understand what "The Gospel" is. The Gospel is the bare minimum knowledge to be saved. Here goes:
God made us people to be in a relationship with Him
God is perfect
We are not perfect - and this imperfection prevents us from being with a perfect God
There is nothing we can do to be perfect, or to be with God
God sent Jesus to earth to die for us, so we don't have to die for our imperfections
If we accept Jesus' death for us, we can be in a perfect relationship with God -forever-
That is it. There is no mention of being gay, having abortions, murder, church, voting republican, loving others, believing in evolution, submitting to a husband, respecting a wife. Zilch. Nada.
I say this so that you might know what is the Gospel- and to know it is open to you, but also so that others might know what is the Gospel and what it isn't.
To be clear and relevant: Christians don't need to expel abortion to spread the gospel. And people who have had abortions can still receive the gospel. We can actually come together, while disagreeing about abortion.
