We’ve all heard the common pro-abortion talking point “my body, my choice.” But now pro-abortion apologists go further. Many admit the unborn baby is a human being, yet insist a mother’s “absolute” right to bodily autonomy supersedes the child’s right to life. They claim no one should ever be forced to use their body or resources to sustain another life. If this logic holds, a mother could starve her two-year-old with no consequence. That’s not a world any of us would want to live in—yet it’s the exact same argument used to justify abortion. The truth of course is that the unborn baby IS a human being with a sacred right to life. Bodily autonomy is a good thing, but it is not absolute, and it does not justify taking the life of an innocent child.
