God is Pro-Choice! God is pro-choice.

Yes, you read right. Pro-choice. More accurately, God is pro-the-choice-of-life. “…I have set before you life and death…: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” (Deu 30:19). God said, “You have a choice between death and life.” But, He follows that with, “Choose life.” Not just for you. For your children too.” The pro-choice drumbeat that a woman has the right of choice of what she does with her body omits something: She does NOT have the right of choice of what she does with ANOTHER’S body. Nor does she have the right of choice of doing things with her body that adversely affects another’s body. It seems so simple that none could miss it: When a woman chooses to have an abortion, she is not only choosing what happens to her body, she is choosing what is happening to her baby’s body. Abortion advocates are adamant that others have no right to coerce a woman to do something with her body that she does not want done (make her keep her baby in her womb). Yet, they are supporting the woman’s doing something with her baby’s body, which, if the baby could choose, would not want done. Are we to believe society has no choice of what a woman does with her body, but a woman has a choice of what she does with the baby’s body? Does a woman have the right to make a choice about her body that imperils another’s body? In crude, but clear simplicity, pregnancy is one body inside another’s body. This is a complexity. Any ought to admit that a woman as a person should have the right to make her own choice concerning her body. But, in the case of pregnancy, a woman cannot make a choice concerning her body without it also being a choice for the body inside her body—the fetus. She is not just choosing for herself. She is choosing for another—her baby. The moral question of suicide aside, it is one thing for me without a passenger to choose to drive my car off a cliff but quite another thing to choose to drive my car off a cliff with a passenger. Whether I live or die, if my passenger does not survive, I killed him. I am a murderer. I cannot insist that it was my car, and I had a right to decide what I did with my car. I made a decision that killed my passenger; my decision of what I did with my car took his life. I have a choice of what I do with my car, but not if that choice entails death for another. Abortionists would concede that I cannot choose to kill a pedestrian by driving over him and that I cannot choose to kill a passenger by driving him over the cliff. But, they become inconsistent when it comes to a woman’s choice. Abortionists argue that a woman cannot kill a pedestrian, but she can kill her passenger. She cannot kill someone outside her womb but can kill someone inside her womb. The abortionist would insist the body inside the womb is not a person because the fetus has no sense of identity or stream of consciousness. Neither does a newborn or several month-old infant. Neither does a comatose adult. Since the newborn and comatose adult are “pedestrians” it is wrong for a woman to kill them. But, since the fetus is a “passenger,” it is ok for her to kill him. Huh? In the end, abortionists are advocating the choice of death. They are saying to a pregnant woman: “You have the right to choose. Go ahead and choose death” (for the baby). God says “You can choose. Choose life.” The measure of the morality of a society is not only whether it allows individuals to choose for themselves, but also what society chooses for those who cannot choose for themselves. Beyond babies, this includes the handicapped, the incapacitated, the very old and ill, etc. If society will choose death for a baby, it will soon choose death for the old, handicapped and comatose. Our society advocates choosing death because it is a culture of death. God produces a culture of life. Those that truly know God will advocate choosing life. Yes, God is prochoice: He is pro-the-choice-of-life. “…I have set before you life and death…: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” (Deu 30:19). God says, Choose life; not just for yourself but for your children as well. Okay, God is Pro-life!
