Today I was watching a demonstration of young people challenging the new president elect, Donald Trump.

One of the young ladies asked, “Will I be paid the same as a man?” and “Will the government be telling me what I can do with my body?”

He retorted “If you work as hard as a man, you will be paid the same by law.”

A good response I thought ,but he ignored the more challenging question.

I thought about the quandary, and wondered ‘My Body’. If an artist paints a picture, does the picture own itself? If an engineer designs and has a plane built, does the plane now own itself? Obviously I am intimating that an infinite intelligence created the universe and all in it,and he is in fact the owner of that young girls body. She certainly did not create or design it ,it is difficult to see how it is hers. Even an atheist might accept that she did nothing to fabricate or purchase the body and in fact it is the property of evolutionary forces. As she was not given an evolutionary power to spontaneously abort a baby much as I can clear my eyes by blinking. How is it a ‘right’ to terminate a pregnancy she allowed to occur with unnatural abortive techniques.

Just as it is not a widely accepted right to terminate one’s own life it should not be a right to terminate anothers.
