Not Just “A Bible-Thumper” When It Comes to Abortion
Someone close to me invited an open argument to support “a case for making a law about the health decisions involving a woman's body that is not Biblically based.” The assumption being that Christians are only pro-life because of a few misinterpreted Bible verses. In Jeremiah 1:5 the prophet wrote that the word of YHWH came to him and said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.” And Psalm 139:13 the psalmist says of YHWH, “You knit me together in my mother’s womb.” The assertion against using these Bible verses is that just because God said he knew Jeremiah before he was actually born does not necessarily mean that God knows everyone before they are born. And just because a psalmist wrote that he believed he was knit together in his mother’s womb does not validate that he really was or that anyone else ever has been. As for why the courts should be involved in this matter, it is because “My Body, My Choice” has a major conflict
