This whole abortion thing is ridiculous.
Two levels of discussion here people.
1. Abortion is killing innocent people, however that killing of innocent people is voluntary and you do not have to take part in it.
2. The government is to make the laws of the land (albeit the state government in this case, according to the consitution).
3. All "Christian" are to obey the laws of the land so long as they do not inhibit the worship and following of a Christ like life.
4. Abortion being voluntary does not inhibit the worship and following of a Christ like life.
Therefore, abortion is completely alright to be rendered allowable by the state or federal government, and "Christians" do not have to rebel and bit and fight and kick and scream and flip out like little children throwing a tantrum every time it comes about.
Why?
1. It is personal responsibility to live life according to Christ and to share that lifestyle
2. You are responsible for your own morals, you cannot force them on others, you simply inform them of the error of their ways and then it is up to them.
3. The governement was not meant to do your moral and biblical obligation. The governement is not there to make your life in Christ easier, in fact it is irrelevant to your life in Christ.
So, if someone is pro-choice, they may be pro choice in terms of understanding that people can make that choice (as murderous and foolish as they may think it is) and it does not inhibit their practice of faith. These people who think this can also be "Christians."
They may not accept the practice personally or corperately, but they understand that the government is not the legislature of Biblical morality, but general morality and law, of which the "Christian" is to be obedient to.
Why flip out.
There is a subjective and an objective side to the arguement.
So called "Christians" might do well to think about it a little better, and stop trying to make the government live our your life for you just because you don't feel like taking the personal responsibility and the difficulty of standing against the grain.
I think abortion is deplorable, however I also so, if people know this and still choose it, that is up to them. Only when it becomes mandatory for a woman to abort a child (like in China) will it become a larger issue.
You cannot legislate morality, you can only suggest it.
