Can A Real Believer Support Abortion Rights?

With abortion we're talking pregnancy. There isn't a relationship like pregnancy found anywhere in nature. In pregnancy two lives are intertwined in such a way that makes it entirely unique. At some point we have to establish who's rights trump the other's. In this case I believe the best bet is to establish that the mother's right over her body and the seed in her womb supercedes any assumed rights of her unborn. She has the right to keep it....and tragically she has the right not to. It is outside the scope of a just government to step in and seize a pregnant woman's body and force her to give birth against her will. It is outside the scope of a just government to deny the rights of a woman over her own body. For this reason, legal abortion is a necessary evil in a just society.

The best way to combat this is through propogation of the Gospel, prayer, and education. No law will adequately address this issue.

Scripture paints a completely different picture but you refused to deal with it in the past.
