People report being sent the wrong pregnancy and will consider abortion.
People report that their life is now wrong and they will consider euthanasia.
People report that their sex is wrong and they need transgender treatments to become who they are.
Here our focus is on abortion and euthanasia.
The answer to these options is usually, "God makes no mistakes". It can be presented as supporting those people in their choice or telling them to accept proceeding with the pregnancy and with life.
It can support everything therefore it supports nothing. You can tell a person they are meant by God to live or to commit suicide. It eliminates itself.
An argument that eliminates itself implies that its opposite is as likely to be true. In a sense it even suggests its opposite should be considered. The argument is only giving an opinion. It is an insult to people's lives and suffering to use them as fodder for your opinions. Get evidence and let it do the talking. It's not about you. Opinion is about you wanting to open your mouth. That is the simple truth.
Making it about God's opinion does not work. "God does not make mistakes" is your opinion about God. If God told you that or you think he did then that may be his opinion. It does not matter who has the opinion. An opinion is an opinion. If you say you are about God's opinion not your own, it is you making God's opinion yours so it is back to your opinion again. A God who tells you to have such and such an opinion is a bigot for by definition an opinion is not serious or good enough to warrant such interference. It is none of his business.
Affirming is care and it needs more than just an opinion from you. Just believe what they go for is for them and they know what is right for them.
The "God does not make mistakes" argument is inherently self-defeating and self-eliminating for it can go the other way as well. It can go any way. If a person feels like hitting somebody you can say, "God does not make mistakes and is inspiring you. It is not wrong for he has a mysterious plan".
It is like, "Abortion is right" and "Abortion is wrong." You get nowhere with them for they are just assertions and we need evidence and facts to decide between them. If there is nothing then we have to be neutral. To be neutral on things like this means that you are saying that if nobody helps with abortion or gender confirmation that is fine. Such a stance is abhorrent.
You cannot expect persons who have abortions or gender changes to feel safe when they notice how you say "God does not make mistakes" and then turn around and say for example, "I believe in euthanasia yes. But only God should pick the time to do it. Let God take care of it. I believe in euthanasia but not in people sending the terminally ill on their way. Only God sees the bigger picture." Be coherent. Be consistent.
An argument that goes either way like “God does not make mistakes” is a statement of taste and preference not an argument. It is no better than, “Spain is more beautiful than France” against “France is more beautiful than Spain.” It goes without saying one of these that you know you cannot ask the other to agree with you. They are worded like arguments but they are not.
God then is the last thing that should be thought about when it comes to reproductive justice and trans healthcare and death with dignity.
There is more. There is the fact is that a person can make mistakes. And the person does not have the right to say exactly what God is doing or isn't doing in their life. You don't have the right to speak for Henry VIII so you know you cannot really have the right to decide what is in God's mind.
JUNK DNA IS AN EXAMPLE OF "DIVINE" INCOMPETENCE
Let us talk about Junk DNA. It is an interesting discovery. Studies show that we have much DNA that we could do without. The DNA strands that we don’t use or need could be parasites that just copy themselves but do nothing else. God does make mistakes if he exists. Who cares?
EXAMPLES OF "DIVINE" MISTAKES
It is said that God knows what he is doing when he starts off life in the womb so elective abortion is against his will.
Look at this.
1 The person who continues an unwanted pregnancy saying God organised the new life in the womb may be mistaken.
2 The person who ends it saying God gave the gift of the abortion doctor may be mistaken.
Both persons cannot be right.
And just to make it clear, an argument, God, that is so easily turned on itself is not an argument at all. It only makes argument sounds but is useless. Not only can somebody else turn it around it can turn itself around. "God does not make mistakes" can be used to invalidate and validate trans and in itself it does neither. If it is the case that "God does not make mistakes" and you do then to be on the safe side deny people the right to abortion and gender confirmation and death with dignity.
Some non-believers and believers would answer yes to this question.
Is dying with dignity for your life is full of suffering and you are going to die from it anyway saying that in your loneliness, depression, weakness and suffering you are undignified or less than human? Should we talk of better care for you instead of helping you on your way? Are we calling you a burden?
If our humanity is about being happy and healthy then the situation is the indignity not us so we have the right to escape it by dying with dignity. If there is a God who makes all then he is part of the situation, part of the degradation.
FINALLY
Abortion care, dying with dignity and trans care can go wrong if those who protect their choices and help them start to have doubts. And the patient can be damaged terribly during a difficult time. "God does not make mistakes" risks a brutal cruel crisis of doubt hitting the person. Not everybody who exercises their bodily autonomy does it easily and parroting about God shows you are not listening.
To immunise against the harm done by the wise God ideas we must start saying that no revelation from God whether it comes from him or people is more valid than your own experience. God or not you know best. There is no greater hero than the one who betters themselves despite an inept God or a purposeless universe.
Reject the notion that a reward from God will make you glad if you risk misery and death by not going for your body autonomy rights.
Body autonomy as if no God or anybody has a say is a right. Nobody must be allowed any rights over your body but you.
When a person considering gender affirmation, divorce, abortion, no matter what it is, thin affirmation does not substitute for support. Make it firm and keep it firm. "God makes no mistakes" is irrelevant if he has set up a universe that goes wrong or if we turned it wrong. It is a crutch phrase, it drips off the tongue too easily. It is irritating and stupid and unhelpful and hypocritical.
