Abortion Arguments For Pro Choice

Abortion arguments for pro choice must be understood in order to fight the fight against abortion. Christians and pro-lifers must know on what premise the pro-choice supporters claim their good reasons for abortion. The most popular arguments appear, at first, to be the claim of whether or not the fetus or embryo is a person worth of human life. As science and the courts have already established through many laws protecting the rights of an unborn child, there is a value placed on the life of a baby while still in the mother's womb. In fact, pro choice advocates are not denying the fact that at conception a human life is formed. Yet, the supporters deny that abortion, in this sense, is describing murder, a premeditated and deliberate act of taking someone's life. The Bible speaks against the murder of the innocent.

Belief and support from the feminist activists was the beginning of the pro-choice legal movement. Pro choice feminists state that good reasons for abortion are based on the idea that a woman is better off to have control of her own reproductive rights. Those who call themselves pro-choice and support abortion arguments for pro choice (which is approximately half of all Americans), maintain that whatever their personal beliefs, the right to impose those beliefs on anyone else is not right. However, the Bible warns about conforming to society.

People wonder how the Old Testament population could conform to the evil society in which they lived, by sacrificing their children to heathen idols. Our society is no different today. An idol is anything put before God. The arguments are not about the life of the baby, but about the rights of women to choose what to do with their bodies, stating that good reasons for abortion include the beneficial results from allowing a woman to choose to have one if she feels unable to raise a child, or is mentally unwilling. Today children in the womb are sacrificed to the idols of selfishness, convenience, and so called "women's freedom". Pro-choicers agree that raising a child is a wonderful and difficult responsibility, and if a child will not be loved appropriately, and nurtured for the way he/she should, then that child is better off not ever being born. Supposedly better for the mother, and better for the baby? God is the only predictor of success and fulfillment in life, not a woman's idea of what she thinks may happen in the future. God strictly forbids it.

Pro choice advocates state a woman is better off to have this controversial procedure rather than have an unwanted baby, look at what statistics have really shown us. The truth is that when interviewing hundreds of thousands of women who have had abortions, the facts prove that they don't feel the sense of relief and equality promised afterwards. Abortion arguments for pro choice promote women's equality, but in truth, the results have only hurt women. Only women feel the immediate or long term physical complications, emotional chaos, and psychological trauma that abortion causes. The primary responsibility of child bearing and raising has been shifted off of the father and family and has been placed solely on the shoulders of the woman. Remember "For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well", because God has a plan for each and every person. (Psalm 139:13-14).

Those that disagree with abortion blame only the woman for having one. Those that agree with abortion blame the woman for having a child and requiring the support financially and emotionally from her family and community. It actually has turned into a lose/lose situation. The Bible is full of instances in which the family and community are expected to step in and help."If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain" (Proverbs 24:11). If society believes that because they didn't actually perform the abortion, they will not suffer its consequences, they are sadly mistaken. Guilt comes in the form of standing by and doing nothing as well. Many woman who have abortions because they were convinced of their choice in the matter by the so called good reasons for abortion , are now feeling the effects of the loss of a child, as do all parents when the death of a child has happened. The major difference in these situations are not only the feelings of loss, loneliness, emptiness, sorrow and devastation, but the added feelings of guilt for making the choice to voluntarily end the life of the child, and the inability to express these mourning feelings in public. A tidal wave of sorrow and remorse is building in our time, but has not been recognized until recently, especially by those who have abortion arguments for pro choice. Typically, women who have abortions suffer the same feelings as women who have lost children; only they suffer these same feelings with even greater intensity; sometimes even 10, 20, 30 or even 50 years later.

The theory that the freedom to choose what a woman wants to do with her body, that it is her burden and option alone, removes the responsibility of the father, the family and the community from the collaborative effort of raising a child. As we see so predominantly in this culture, the community effort that lacks in our modern day nation has given birth to a myriad of social problems, and will only continue to spiral downward, unless we place the responsibility back with the community, whereby, we recreate the family of brothers and sisters God meant for His children in the beginning. There are no good reasons for abortion.
