God is pro-choice.
That really shouldn't surprise anyone.
He didn't create us to render robotic obedience to Him. If we couldn't disobey, then our obedience would be meaningless. Which is why, because He desires humanity to willingly return His love, He made a strategic, yet risky decision at our creation.
He let us choose whom we will serve, whom we will love, and whom we will obey.

Choices, of course, carry consequences.
The consequence for a lifestyle of obedience to Him results in complete, through and through, forgiveness for the sins we bring Him in repentance. He permits us to intimately know Him in this life, and in the one which lasts forever.
The consequence for a lifestyle of disobedience results in inevitable and eternal judgment for the sins we have committed, and in painful and unending separation from Him in the life which lasts forever.
Which is why, by the way, He pleads with us:
Choose wisely.
