Tenants Rights for the Unborn

Tenants Rights for the Unborn: Women have the right to control their OWN bodies but unborn babies are not one of their organs.

f you own a house or property you have a lot of rights to do whatever you want with that house, unless you rent it to someone and then you give up some of your rights to use your property throughout the term of the lease. During the term of the lease, the tenants have certain legal rights too. If they fail to follow the terms of the lease they can be evicted, but the landlord doesn't have the right to injure or kill them.
Likewise, women have the right to control their own bodies. However, whenever they engage in sexual intercourse with a man, the couple is jointly signing a lease agreement to provide for and protect any babies (tenants) that come about as the result of that sexual activity for at least 18 years and 9 months. The woman has the right to remove any organ that belongs to HER OWN body (shares 100% of her DNA). But, the unborn baby DOES NOT have the same DNA and many times does not even have the same blood type. Therefore the Baby is not part of the mother's body and therefore she does not have the right to kill or injure it before birth any more than a father would have the right to kill or injure his child after birth.
Therefore the unborn baby is a tenant of her womb and therefore cannot be evicted unjustly and certainly cannot be killed. Now some may mention rape or incest. In this case, the woman did not agree to lease her womb to the baby so the unborn baby could be seen as a squatter or an illegal immigrant. Landlords have the right to evict squatters and governments can deport illegal immigrants but they still do not have the right to kill or injure them. In this case, the closest equivalent to evicting a squatter would be to adopt the baby out after birth, which would avoid killing or injuring the baby but would free the mother from the rest of the 18 years commitment to support and care for her offspring. Barrier methods of contraception would still be permitted because they serve to discourage tenants from renting the property (like high rent prices) but there is always a chance that some tenant will overcome those barriers. Once they are in "residency" the landowners options are limited and all tenants and even squatters deserve basic protections as human beings (they should not be killed or injured). The unborn babies should not be treated worse than tenants or even squatters and illegal immigrants.

My hope is that they will help English-speaking Christians share their personal faith and beliefs on important topics with their non-Christian loved ones.

Your finances will be used to continue and expand our apologetics, discipleship, evangelism, and other missionary ministries in Cambodia and globally (without charge to the recipients).

Some missionaries who have been professionally trained as musicians etc. compose, perform, and sell their music in order to help fund their mission work. Decades of research, education, and a lot of money has been invested in me so that I am capable of communicating on these topics on a professional level.

For me, these articles are my songs. Songs are often a "cry of the heart" which cannot be suppressed. I have tried my best to remain silent on these issues in the past. God may lead me to be silent again in the future. At this moment, I cannot be silent.

I have come to the conclusion that when the Bible says, "the workman is worthy of his wages," (1 Timothy 5:18) that this truth does not ONLY apply to pastors. I believe that it ALSO applies to fairly tipping our waiters and waitresses etc., for their services. This is especially important if they depend on this for their income.

If this offends you, then that is only indication that my articles are not valuable to you, therefore no "tip" is requested.
