Roe for Men

Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.

Ideas have a way of sinking into our subconscious in ways we don’t always recognize.  Bad ideas do the same, and can have disastrous results.  In Michigan there is a law suit filed on behalf of a father who wants the right to choose to abort the child his former girlfriend is carrying.

Living in a culture shaped by Roe v. Wade and the language of “choice,” we have started to believe that the ability to choose is more important than a precious human life.  Instead of seeing that unborn baby as something of invaluable worth, the father sees it as a burden and nothing more than a choice he should be allowed to make-even if that choice is death.

Choice is not an unqualified good.  There are times when the right thing to do is lay aside any rights we think we have and do the right thing.  In this unfortunate case, however, choice may win the day and destroy another human life.
