Abortion And The Autonomous Self

Since the overturning of Roe vs Wade, the pro abortion movement has been irate and enraged.  There has been constant talk about the loss of rights and the autonomous self has been on full display.  

The autonomous self basically means self law. The person recognizes no authority higher than the self.  The person is rejecting the authority of God and is trying to be his or her own god.  

We see this in the pro abortion movement.  We constantly hear the argument, that no one can tell me what to do with my own body.  This assertion rejects any authority above the self.  When this argument is made, God is being rejected and the woman is trying to be her own god.  Of course it is not just her own body but also the body of the unborn baby.  

We also hear a lot of talk about abortion rights, reproductive rights, and the right to choose.  The abortion advocates might want to stop and ask where rights come from in the first place.  The concept of rights presupposes truth and justice.  The concepts of truth and justice presuppose the Biblical God.  

God does not give people the right to an abortion.  Scripture plainly teaches that abortion is murder (See Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5, Luke 1:41-44).  Abortion takes the life of an innocent unborn baby.  The notion of the autonomous self and abortion rights rests on the foundation of unbelief.  

(Romans 1:21)"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened." (ESV)
