Day 2 Station 2: Does Feminism fulfill God's Will? (Abortion)

Introduction

  • The question that we want to answer here is whether or not modern feminism fulfills God's will
  • In the interest of time, we will focus on one facet of Feminism which is Abortion.
  • What is Abortion?

  • What is the world saying about Abortion?
    • Some say it's okay to even do it in the third trimester
  • How did this come about?
    • Result of the sexual revolution and promotion of sex outside of marriage
  • We'll focus on four arguments that feminists give for Abortion:
    • It's not a baby it's a fetus
    • Women can't function in society without access to abortion
    • What about rape? It's not the woman's fault if she was raped. It is cruel to her to put her through that
    • What about if the child will be born with a medical condition? Mental or Physical disability? What if he won't have a father? It's not the woman's fault OR the child's fault... it would be cruel to put them through that
  • So we'll look at these four arguments, and how are they related to God's will?
  • Anyone who takes a life (through abortion or any means) is putting themselves in the place of God. 
    • "The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up." (1 Samuel 2:6)

Argument 1: It's not a baby, it's a fetus

  • The Scripture tells us that the Lord formed us and created us, even BEFORE we were in our mother's womb
    • "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." (Psalms 139:13-16)
    • “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
    • "From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God." (Psalms 22:10)

  • We see many times in the Scripture that a baby was announced or prophesied before their birth... even before the mother was pregnant. Did God not, then, create them before the pregnancy?

Argument 2: Women can't function in society without abortion

Argument 3: What about rape and incest?

Argument 4: It is cruel to bring a child into a world where he will have hardship
