The Right of Choice: Subjectivism & Relativism

The two ideas of subjectivism and relativism have plagued our society ever since mankind has acquired a need to justify and dismiss its barbaric and dehumanizing activities. The barbaric activity that is being referenced here is that of the slaughter of innocent children in the crime of abortion. Such dehumanization can be seen plainly at Margaret Sanger's starting of the sexual revolution, to the acceptance of birth control, and, as Pope Paul VI warned, the festering of the culture of death. The so-called pro-choice movement and its proponents in Planned Parenthood, Susan G. Komen, and other pro-death organizations are, in truth, though unwittingly, the largest anti-choice force in this nation and the world.

Relativism and subjectivism are the closely related beliefs which teach that all things and laws are indeed subject and relative to one's own personal feelings, emotions, beliefs, circumstances, and ideas. Not only has Holy Mother the Church, the teacher of Divine Revelation, denied such absurd ideas, but nature herself, through logic and commonsense, casts a ghastly countenance of disapproval upon them. It is quite apparent that a vast problem with the world at large in these times is a lack of commonsense and the use of logic.

If truth is subject to the ever changing heart of each individual human being, then there can be, in truth, no truth. Any sin can be justified or accepted as not sinful, as sin is merely the subject of what one person finds distasteful at this or that particular moment in time. Sin is no longer something that offends Almighty God, but something that displeases the ego or causes a disruption or discomfort in one's life. This being the case, what happens to laws and the rule of the land? If right and wrong are relative, or don't even exist at all for that matter, how can someone enforce a law which he thinks is just, when another person finds it unjust? In a world of no absolutes, there is only one absolute and that is chaos.

Many defend their pro-choice adherence using a sort of relativism saying, “I personally wouldn't have one, but I wouldn't stop somebody else” or, “if you don't like abortion, then don't have one.” If you believe abortion to be murder, then how can you defend someone else committing murder? It would be the same as saying, “I personally wouldn't murder someone, but I wouldn't stop somebody else” or, “if you don't like murder, then don't kill anyone.” Now, if you say that abortion isn't murder, then I will charitably refer you to science, biology, and to something as simple as a 4-D ultrasound.

Those people who support the murder of the innocents therefore, are, in all honesty, those who really advocate for no choice; no choice for the child in the womb. In order to spread their eugenics business and the culture of death, the pro-choice crowd will present the case that truth is relative. However, in a society of no truth, a society without The Truth, even the killing of God's most innocent maybe justified.

“But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”(Luke 18:16).
