Five Responses to Common Pro-Choice Arguments
From its inception, Rambling Ever On has advocated graceful discourse and nuanced conversation. We believe that discussions filled with attacks, oversimplifications, and emotional appeals do little to change minds or hearts.
With that said, there are some areas where there is little room for nuance. While the overall conversation about abortion is complex and multifaceted, at its root, the moral implication is very simple: abortion is murder. We can dress it up in any number of ways, but there is no getting around the fact that aborting a baby ends a life.
The March For Life is taking place today in Washington D.C. as well as in cities all over the country. We stand with those that march. Here are Five Responses To Common Pro-Choice Arguments:
Argument Number One: “Women should be in charge of their own bodies.”
Response: Abortion takes an innocent, defenseless life.
Argument Number Two: “Anti-Abortion legislation doesn’t curb abortion, but encouraging safe sex does.”
Response: Abortion takes an innocent, defenseless life.
Argument Number Three: “Abortion keeps unwanted pregnancies from bringing children into a world of horrible circumstances. There are already not enough people adopting and too many children in foster care.”
Response: Abortion takes an innocent, defenseless life.
Argument Number Four: “There is a practical difference between a ‘fetus’ and a ‘baby’.”
Response: Abortion takes an innocent, defenseless life.
Argument Number Five: “Abortion is a safe, legal and often inexpensive procedure in the United States.”
Response: Abortion takes an innocent, defenseless life.
Again, it is not our aim to be pedantic, condescending or simplistic. And we certainly do not wish to ungraciously hype abortion as an unforgivable sin. It’s not. This is to communicate that we do not believe any of these arguments for abortion overrule the taking of an innocent defenseless life. We are followers of the Christian God. As far back as we have recorded writings, our God’s followers have believed strongly that God created, formed and cares for people in the womb (Psalm 71:6, 139:13-18; Job 10:10, 31:15; Isaiah 49:6). So we, along with millions of others, feel obligated to speak out against the single greatest injustice of our society in this way (Proverbs 24:10-11).
