It's Not About Choice
If you're like me, you're tired of people claiming that the abortion debate is about choice. "I have the right to choose!" they cry.
Yes, you do have the right to choose. Everyone has the God-given right to make a choice about anything. But whether you have the right to choose anything is not the issue--the real issue is whether the choice is a valid one, whether it's right or wrong.
I have the right to choose whether or not to steal, or to vandalize someone else's property. I'm sure the vast majority would agree that theft and vandalism are wrong. These things are illegal because these actions infringe on the rights of others.
The same goes for abortion. Sure, you have the right to choose whether or not to kill an innocent unborn human being. But it's never the right choice. It infringes on the right of another person--that child's God-given right to life.
Roe v Wade is unconstitutional because it violates the Fifth and Tenth Amendments. The Fifth Amendment states that one cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process. The Tenth Amendment has to do with states' rights--Roe is basically a federal power grab, striking down states' laws against abortion.
The job of the government is to safeguard people's God-given rights, which are enumerated by the Constitution. This includes the right to life.
