Why the Christian Argument Against Abortion is Dead on Arrival
Age, thinking, study, and listening will eventually teach you some things. I am against abortion for obvious reasons; I am a Christian for crying out loud and obviously abortion is murder. I mean, how can anybody be for those late term abortions and what was going on at Dr. Gosnell’s abortion clinics? Can’t they see the end result of these anti-God belief aberrations?
While wondering in the woods of research I stumbled into the enemy camp. I was perplexed, so I figured I would stick around and listen because the path that brought me to this camp was named, “We Agree on this Issue.” There I was, stunned, and in agreement with murderers albeit on a single issue.
I am outraged that while the Steubenville, Ohio community screamed in protest like alley cats in the night that their community is now defined by the actions of two high school football players, they extended the contract of the football coach post-conviction while it is common knowledge that he knew about the rapes and didn’t report it. That’s a crime. And it wasn’t only rape. These guys hauled this passed-out minor from party to party to be raped by others. Furthermore, they were completely indifferent to the fact that you can die from alcohol poisoning of which the first stage is unconsciousness. In fact, some of the boys tweeted that they thought she may have been dead. While they hauled her from party to party.
So, when I saw the Ultra Violet .org petition demanding the coach’s firing, I readily signed it. They sent me a thank you by email along with a link to their Facebook page. I quickly jumped on the path to their Facebook page, entered the camp, and began looking around. Ooops. The subtitle states the following:
We’re an online community of women and men across the U.S. fighting sexism and expanding women’s right everywhere, from politics to pop culture. Equality at a higher frequency!
I asked myself : “Does that include abortion?” With a little poking around, the answer to that question was, “yes.” I quickly located the “Share” button and quarantined it. After I collected myself, I began thinking, an art I started practicing as a Christian about one year ago. But I have an excuse: I was never taught to do so by my Christian handlers. I was assured that Calvin had already done our thinking for us and documented everything. But since I no longer buy into that, I sniffed around and started practicing the art, knowing that no one would ever know I was there thinking. Brilliant.
But I discovered some things. Not everyone in the camp has a problem with God. Apparently, some are reserving judgment until they find His representation. And they would be just as horrified as the next person regarding Gosnell’s house of horrors. The primary concern seems to be the idea that women are property. So, if they let anybody tell them what they can do with their bodies, no matter what, the women are property gang will take an inch and make a mile out of it. Does that argument sound familiar?
I am not against the banning of fully automatic assault weapons. But if you give those liberals an inch, they will be coming for our muzzle-loaders next.
And so it goes, the Steubenville affair is the epitome of women as property; so Ultra Violet is on the case. And in regard to abortion, why would they listen to the church? Because we are not part of the women as property gang? Oh really? The response of the church to sexual assault is exactly, that’s e-x-a-c-t-l-y the same as the Steubenville mentally that Ultra Violet despises. I only need one example to make the point: the SGM class action lawsuit. Also, I have done massive research on the Steubenville event and the church speaks loud and clear with its silence on these crimes. I hear the outrage of feminists, but not even the roar of a church mouse from God’s people. In fact, where is the outrage within the Christian community in Steubenville? Well, I was able to find this:
From the David Gossett of the Steubenville Herald-Star:
STEUBENVILLE – Religious leaders from throughout the city called for unity and peace in a community that is embracing for national attention this week when two Steubenville High School students go on trial facing rape charges in Jefferson County Juvenile Court.
“Some of the media are here listening and waiting to hear something about the rape trial, the shootings and drug activity in our city. We can say the steel mills are long gone. There are shootings and rape. And we can say the last person to leave should turn out the lights. But we can say Lord we don’t have the answer, but Lord you know the answers,” stated Pastor Vaughn Foster of Christ’s Community Church.
“We as a city are in need of God’s hope. And we get that hope by being in God’s presence. We pray that God will invade our city,” Foster added.
Huh? Unity and peace? A God invasion? How do we think the world perceives this mambe pambe response to such outrageous behavior? But here is my bottom-line point:
An argument against abortion by those who turn a blind eye to sexual abuse is dead on arrival.

“Huh? Unity and peace? A God invasion? How do we think the world perceives this mambe pambe response to such outrageous behavior?”
What is Pastor Vaughn Foster is saying is that the guys who committed the rape were “unregenerate” and were forced to it by “total depravity” — and so, let us ” pray that God will invade our city” and make us all “regenerate” so we won’t do such things because according to Calvinism we have no free-will and therefore no responsibility in this world (only in the afterlife). Also “We as a city are in need of God’s hope” means we are in need of hope that God will give us all the grace to forgive the rapists and go hug them in Jesus’ name. “Lord we don’t have the answer, but Lord you know the answers” means that we think the answer is to lock up these poor boys but you, Lord, know the real answers, to send the Holy Spirit to “regenerate” them and cry “Jesus Jesus Jesus” so we can all go hug them and say the rape never happened, and then the boys can go to the girl’s house and say “I’m not the man that raped you; I’m a new man; I’ve been born again; give me a hug.”
Its the same old Calvinist tripe. Until the churches recover a message of personal responsibility, and until they take freewill seriously and stop with this crap that God has to possess you before you can keep from committing atrocities, why should anyone listen to them on any issue? If your message is “If you aren’t a Christian, you’re totally depraved” then why shouldn’t the unchurched who has been told they are “totally depraved” go and act like it by committing abortion? It doesn’t even make sense. You can’t marry Calvinism and conservative politics. Calvinism is left-wing at its core. But Calvinists who have some common sense outside the walls of the church become conservatives politically, yet they keep spouting Calvinism which is wrong and disproven by their politics. If your politics is right, oh conservative Calvinist, then your religion is from the pit of hell. But if your religion is right, then why the hell aren’t you a lefty loon politically? Your religion demands it.

This is something I have been concerned about for many years. I go back to 1 Corin 5 (and other places) and say that until we clean up our act and judge ourselves as a Body, we have no witness at all. The world gets it. Evangelical’s don’t. They fight a phony culture war. But it is always easier for us to focus on “them out there” than clean up the church.
Al Mohler is the king of this. Ever read his blog (no commenting allowed) where he takes on the evil culture? Seriously? A man who promotes and protects Mahaney? A man who advocated young pastors deceive churches about their beliefs? He has NO witness as a believer. He is basically teaching that certain leaders get a pass for sin but then look at how horrible the culture is. Such hypocrisy!
We must be people of honesty and integrity to be taken seriously as believers.
