Falsehood--Abortion is a Woman's Reproductive Right

Episode Summary. This is the third episode in our March series, Worldviews Leading Our Loved Ones Astray. It begins with the reminder that faithful Christians don’t isolate themselves from cultural issues but fervently seek to raise their light of truth in the spheres around them, that God has commanded them to influence. We examine the argument that abortion is a reproductive right of a woman, noting, at the outset, that no woman has an absolute right over her body. She cannot put her hands around her toddlers’ neck and strangle him to death. My right to my own body is limited by law; doing something with my body that harms another is illegal and wrong. So, the question is what right the unborn have or do not have to be protected. Because the Supreme Court has returned the matter of abortion rights to the states, this episode first examines why most Bible-believing Christian believe that life begins at conception and then how to winsomely impact those around us with the need to protect human life in the womb.

For Further Prayerful Thought: 

1. How would you summarize the scientific evidence from embryology that life begins at conception?
2. What do you think of the statement, “The most important support for life beginning with conception is that the human embryo is a distinct, living, unique, whole member of the human species, fully capable of directing its development into maturity, regardless of its size, stage of development or location?”
3. Which are the most common pro-abortion arguments that you hear? You might want to take a moment and think through how you can winsomely challenge that view just by asking a few questions—especially questions directing your friend to explain why the unborn are not human.
