One fascinating paradox, easily discernable, is that while the man-centered universe of secular progressivism promises to benefit each person by making him his own authority (i.e. his own god), it accomplishes the exact opposite. All the ‘liberal’ ideals the West cherishes, such as inalienable human rights and the equality of dignity in each individual, have only one source, Genesis 1:27: that each individual is made in the image of God. When you remove this foundation, you’re left with the powerful who will rationalize the dehumanization of the vulnerable for their own gain. That’s exactly what abortion is.
