Abortion
and Human Rights
-- Greg convincingly describes how the issue of abortion is truly no
different than the issue of slavery. The issue to be considered is the
issue of human rights.
Abortion
Rhetoric
-- Domestic terrorism. "A brutal, cowardly act of murder." "Mass
murder." "A national conspiracy to commit domestic terrorism." These
are perfect descriptions of what abortion is.
Abortion
& the Brunch -- Greg describes the "Columbo Tactic" to answer a
classic pro-abortion objection.
Are
Blacks Human Beings?
-- The question "Are Blacks human beings?" is so bizarre it's almost
comical. Who could ask such a thing today? Yet the question is still
being asked, this time with a twist.
Are
Humans Persons?
-- Asking would God be a person if He didn't have these characteristics
of personhood is kind of like asking if my mother-in-law had wheels
would she be a trolley car.
Babies
& Begonias
-- Consistency is paramount to our pro-life arguments, yet it's often
hard to achieve. Use the simple argument described here to build a
strong case for the defense of the unborn.
Baby
Parts for Profit
-- Some have argued whenever anyone cries "Nazi" this is a good reason
to reject their whole point of view because nothing could really
compare. Nothing in our country could be properly characterized by that
kind of comparison. Well, I don't know. You be the judge.
Baby-Skin
Lamp Shades
-- If it's not wrong to kill human beings, and then use their body
products for commercial purposes, how could it be wrong to kill human
beings, in order to use their body parts for commercial purposes?
Calling
a Spade a Spade -- These people, Planned Parenthood, are not
pro-choice. That's why they object to it. They are pro-abortion.
Can I
Destroy This?
-- President Clinton claims to be taking the moral high ground in his
veto of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban, but is he really?
Does a
Fetus Have a Soul? -- The argument that an acorn isn't an oak but a
potential oak isn't true. How does this apply to humans?
Every
Child A Wanted Child -- What makes an unwanted child's life
necessarily unhappy? A reaction to the moral persuasion of some
pro-choice advocates.
Female
Feticide -- Would you believe that there is a choice the
"pro-choicers" do not want you to make?
He's a
Liar -- Greg calls President Clinton on the carpet for his comments
regarding his veto of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Bill.
I Am Not
A Freak -- The same thing that made the Elephant Man a human being
makes a fetus a human being.
I'm
Pro-Choice
-- The "coat hanger" argument is one of the most emotionally compelling
appeals of pro-abortionists, yet the whole line of reasoning collapses
because of the single element deified by pro-choicers: choice.
Killing
Abortionists -- Some ask "if you consider abortion murder, doesn't
that incite the killing of abortionists?"
Life
Chains
-- Two thoughts here: Why it's not necessary to have a "passion for the
unborn" in order to do something meaningful to save them, and why "life
chains" may do more harm than good.
Morally
Velocitized
-- What happens when a culture's decline in values begins to pick up
speed? It becomes velocitized. What was unthinkable yesterday is
thinkable today, and ordinary and commonplace tomorrow, like
partial-birth abortion.
Murder
is OK for the Unborn?
-- Greg finds disturbing similarities between the viewpoint that
abortion can be justified and reasons used to justify past genocides.
Neonaticide
-- Perhaps the shocking increase in the numbers of "trash babies" is a
result of the moral confusion that comes with legal abortion.
Nothing
Hidden in D&X
-- The controversy surrounding D&X is not like other abortion
debates, because D&X is no ordinary abortion. One strains to be
able to understand the procedure in civilized terms. Partial-birth
abortion make irrefutable what has been obvious to so many for a long
time.
Partial-Birth
Abortion Is Not About Abortion
-- When we justify the killing of a fully human child because of
severe, congenital defect, we are not making a case for abortion; we're
promoting something much more chilling. Even the mothers involved know
what's going on.
President
Bush's Speech -- "Advances in biomedical technology must never come
at the expense of human conscience."
Pro-Life:
The Epitome of Bologna -- A caller referred to Greg's views on when
life begins as "the epitome of baloney." Here's Greg's response.
Pro-lifers
on the Horns of a False Dilemma
-- Is it contradictory to oppose abortion as murder and still oppose
the killing of abortionists? If abortion is the destruction of a
helpless child's life, then why blame those who protect these children
by killing their would-be executioners?
Pro-Lifers
Retreat -- Greg responds to the notion that, because of recent
abortion clinic murders, we should back off the "abortion rhetoric."
Problem
of Heaps -- Greg points out a problem with a common pro-life
argument, and then gives a better one.
Pulling
the Trigger on Abortion
-- On what grounds do we defend breaking the law by blocking the
entrance to an abortion clinic, then turn around and condemn the act of
one who shoots an abortionist?
Rape
& Abortion
-- Greg wonders why pro-life candidates seem unable to articulate these
clear responses when challenged on abortion in the case of rape.
Rethinking
Rescues
-- There was a time for bold tactics like those of Operation Rescue.
But now, those tactics are actually working against the cause.
Sanctity
of Life Sunday -- Most issues raised in the abortion debate are red
herrings that drag us off the track of the pertinent questions.
Slavery,
Abortion & Inalienable Rights -- Did the Supreme Court enact a
law that encourages the concept of unequal rights,
contradicting the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence?
"Society
Says" Relativism
-- Some would say "Legal abortion is now the law of the land--get over
it." But is there a higher law? The Founding Fathers thought so.
Stepping
Over the Line
-- The partial-birth abortion debate puts us at a crossroads. In many
ways, we've already stepped over the line in this quiet but desperate
revolution in ideas.
New STR
Abortion Violence Statement -- Some imply that STR condones
abortion violence. Find out the truth about STR's position.
The
Moral Logic of Being Pro-Life
-- If your daughter came up to you and said, I'm tired of taking care
of Grandma, I'm going to kill her, would you call a family meeting and
discuss it and then leave the choice up to her?
The
"Murder" of a Fetus
-- If the California state statutes use the term "murder' to describe
the killing of a fetus, then why can't pro-lifers use the same
language?
The
Vanishing Pro-Life Apologist
-- There's a growing taboo infecting crisis pregnancy centers around
the country. Pro-lifers are getting tight-lipped on abortion. Here's
why even CPC's are shying away from speaking frankly about the moral
crime of the century.
Unstringing
the Violinist
-- Judith Jarvis Thompson's "Violinist" argument is one of the most
compelling ever offered in favor of abortion on demand, but it's deeply
flawed. Here's where it goes wrong.
What
Exodus 21:22 Says About Abortion
-- The Torah's teaching about accidental "miscarriage"; has been hotly
contested concerning the value of the unborn. Is it pro-life or
pro-abortion? Here are the facts. You decide.
Wouldn't
I Still Be Me?
-- Should stronger, more capable and more intelligent people have more
rights than others? Greg reflects on Baby Theresa and the personhood of
the unborn.
