With the release of videos showing some horrific details about abortion, now is a good time to brush up on your ability to make the case against abortion. As Christians, we have an obligation to God and fellow humans to speak up for the helpless and oppressed because God takes it seriously (see Psalm 10).
For starters, don't give in to the argument that "planned parenthood has done nothing illegal." First, that is still not at all clear. If anything the evidence at this point suggests something illegal is going on. But, legality is not the main issue. The strong have always had the "law" on their side when the oppress the helpless. Slavery was legal too, but that didn't make it right. The question is not "is it legal" but is it the intentional taking of innocent human life (which is always wrong)?
Here is a short video that will help refresh your memory on how to briefly make the case that abortion is indeed the unjust taking of human life. It starts with science and then moves to philosophy. These are arguments that non-religious folks are able to track with.
Also, here is a written out version of these same ideas that is a bit more comprehensive from Tim Challies.
A blog designed to encourage Grace Church of Tallahassee College/Career members to think biblically in all areas of life and to grow in the knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness (Titus 1:1). The title is based on Titus 2:12 where Paul says that the grace of God saves us and trains us to live godly lives in the present age.
