Bernie Sanders, that godless socialist senator running for president made a fascinating, if not flawed argument over the weekend as he stumped in Iowa ahead of the caucus on Tuesday. He made the statement that Republicans claimed to care for family values, which they talk of it often but that they do not care for the rights of women to have control over their own bodies.
This is the often discussed war on women, that has been proven to be a logical and intellectual fallacy that would be boring if it did not energize the liberal base so easily.
The thinking goes something like this, women have a right over their own bodies and therefore there should not be any limitations on abortion because that is giving women the right over their own bodies and those mean Christians and Republicans just want to put limits on abortion and therefore they are opposed to a woman’s right over her body so don’t vote for them ever.
That is the simplified version of the unintelligent argument being made and somehow family values is also a war on women according to the godless who do not value critical thinking or independent thought.
Let’s break it down quickly. Part of the argument is that a woman should have the right and control over her own body. Christians could agree to this point, that a woman has a right to choose what should be done with her body, where we disagree is when and where that choice is made.
Setting aside the exception argument of rape and incest for another time, a woman does have a right to choose what to do with her body. When she chooses to have sexual relations with a man, scientists have discovered that pregnancy is a real possibility. If a woman makes the choice to accept the DNA of her partner or even the possibility of it, then she has chosen to receive into herself the possibility of sharing her body with another.
At that point, we are dealing with two bodies not one, and the woman who has already made her choice is not given the right over another just because they are sharing close quarters.
Women do have rights but so do the future men and women who have been given permission to reside in their wombs when those women engage in the activity known to bring life into the world.
What Bernie Sanders and other godless liberals are really arguing is for the right to sexual immorality without consequences. These intellectually dishonest people only want to scare their followers into showing up.
Real family values does not wage war on women but instead holds women in high esteem by advocating both men and women recognize how valuable intimacy and the children produced by it should be seen. That each and every choice we make is important and that killing our children should not be one of them.
