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

Visual Aid:

  • This lesson will be presented as a case in a court of law. One servant will dress and act as the Judge, the prosecutor will make the arguments from the Feminist side, and the defense will make the argument from the Apologist side
  • The judge should give an introduction concerning which Law we are following (the Scriptures)
  • The judge should give a conclusion related to "who is the Final Judge"

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
