As a Christian, you know our bodies are not our own, but belong to the Creator, even the bodies of the unborn. Regardless of faith, the murder of the unborn is a symptom of a spiritual and moral decay of a dying society. Do you simply identify as a Christian, or have you asked Christ to forgive you of your sins and make your life his own? Have you read the Bible? A Christian knows what the Word of God says and believes it, even if we fail to live up to it 100% of the time. God's Grace is a wonderful thing. Absolutely, we can know the mind of God, to a a great degree. He tells us a great deal about His mind, in His word, we call the Holy Bible and daily conversations with Him, called prayer. God's Word and Law supersedes any "right" given by man. We are obligated to reject the laws of man that contradict the laws of God, including and especially abortion.And now I'm done with abortion. I've said what I believe and tried to lay out at least the basis for the argument. 69% of Americans agree that there is at least some right to end unwanted pregnancy, so I'm not in the minority here.
I'm NOT the enemy of Christians. I am a Christian. I believe it's MORALLY wrong to kill a child during an abortion. But I also believe in legal rights, and not a theocracy. To presume that we know what is best for someone, or to force one's religious views on others is abhorrent to me. To pretend we know the mind of God is preposterous. I wouldn't want it done to me and won't do it to others. We exist with a very broad variety of people, and my view is that we establish the legal system respecting very specific rights. And bodily autonomy is one that I'm not willing to violate.
