A Productive Conversation on Abortion

At Newcastle University

For more context about Abolish Abortion Australia, check out their fabulous website, aptly named www.abolishabortionaustralia.com. (And if, perchance, you were wondering if you, too, could acquire such an — again — simply fabulous website, then look no further than www.huntersoftwaresolutions.com.)

If you were living during the Holocaust, would you have spoken out against it?

This post might get me in trouble, depending on who it is that actually reads my blog (all I have is numbers and rough locales.) I'm sharing it because of how deeply important the issue is.

Abortion, without doubt, is the greatest abomination in our culture, if not in history. Whilst thousands of young men and women pursue the blessing of children, thousands of others mercilessly slaughter that same blessing. Every day, hundreds of tiny feet, hands, toes, fingers, noses, ears, and hearts are crushed, poisoned, or vacuumed through a nozzle, then dumped in a pile of biological waste.

In short, our most defenceless neighbours, living in what should be the safest of havens, are subjected daily to a brutal holocaust. And they can't even cry in protest.

Abortion is the pedestal upon which the idol of our culture rests. Kick away abortion, and the radical individualism of our culture falls to the ground. With abortion gone, the responsibilities of bearing children would expose the impossibility of living as though the self is God.

In this conversation, Todd and I defend the methods and objective of Abolish Abortion Australia. Like I say in the video: as a result of our evangelism, this girl now knows that (a) abortion abolition is a Christian position, and (b) it's a position Christians are willing to take publicly.
