Fulfill your dreams - even if you have to kill an innocent person to do it?

I was shocked when my friend Dave (he comments on this Blog regularly) sent me an article with the following quote from President Obama regarding abortion:

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama says the 39^th anniversary of Roe v. Wade is the chance to recognize the “fundamental constitutional right” to abortion and to “continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”

The full article can be seen at the link below - 

President on Roe vs. Wade

First, if you have had an abortion, there is forgiveness in Jesus Christ, seek Him and find peace, hope, purpose and most important eternal life!

Now, regarding this abominable article -

If he is saying what it sounds like he is saying, perhaps he needs to follow this concept to its logical end. If the "daughters" need to have abortions available so they can fulfill their dreams, doesn't it follow that the "sons" deserve the same rights? If a mother wanted to keep a child, but not the father, should he be able to insist the baby be aborted so his dream fulfilling won't be hampered. Should the father have to live his life bummed-out by child support payments, the chance of a child coming looking for him one day later or even just guilt from having an unwanted child running around somewhere? Why stop there, if a two year old is getting in the way, perhaps they should be terminated as well by either biological parent so they can fulfill their dreams.

Essentially, isn't this just survival of the fittest in action? The mother of an unborn child can insist on her rights and vote, so she gets the right to have her life and make it better, even if it requires taking the life of the voiceless/vote-less unborn child to do it? If you really want to be consistent, should we be allowed to end the life of politicians if their policies are keeping us from fulfilling our dreams?

Of course these extremes make the whole thing sound ridiculous. However, with the absence of an absolute moral standard, which survival of the fittest/evolution lack by definition, their is no end to the depths to which we will sink.

Rom. 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (NKJV)
