Is it possible for someone to be pro-choice and a Christian?
No. Christian doctrine declares that God is the author of life
and that He is incapable of making mistakes. From those beliefs,
the only logical conclusion one can draw is that when life exists in
the womb, it is God’s will that it be there. Given that support
for legal abortion denies both of these realities, by definition, it is
incompatible with Christian belief.
People who claim to be both pro-choice and Christian are, basically,
asserting three things. The first is that life is not a right
inherited from God, but a privilege bestowed by human beings who can
withhold it if they “choose” to do so. The second is that God is
neutral on whether a child He created is brutally torn limb from
limb. Finally, they are saying it is possible to reject the
innocent new lives which God creates without rejecting God
Himself. From a Christian perspective, these arguments are
absurd.
The bottom line is, a Christian cannot be pro-choice about the
intentional destruction of innocent human life any more than they can
be pro-choice about rape, robbery, slavery, incest, child abuse,
etc.
