Right to Life – but No Right to Support?
One of the arguments proposed by advocates of permitting intentional abortion is that even if a fetus or embryo has a “right to life” (by virtue of being a separate human being), that right does not include a right to insist on another person’s assistance. For example, if you need blood transfusions to live, that…

Kermit Gosnell
Apparently Dr. Gosnell has been charged with murder on the basis that 7 of the children he was paid to kill were born before he killed them (link to story). As far as I know, the mothers of the children have not been charged. To God be the Glory!

Critique of Bishop Olmsted’s Response

Abortion is murder, and from Rhology’s description, photos of the victims of the murder are shown in the video. I myself am not willing to watch the video – but then again I…

When does life begin?
The Bible does not specifically say when life begins. It is clear that life begins before birth, despite some claims to the contrary. Before birth, there are essentially three “bright lines” that can be drawn: 1) Viability This line is a moving target as technology for supporting very untimely babies improves. The current earliest viability…

Thoughts on Abortion
By abortion I mean intentional unjustified termination of the life of an unborn child. Abortion is wrong. It is a sin, and a violation of the 6th commandment. It is a particularly heinous sin when committed by a child’s father or mother. It ought to be crime, and governments who refuse to treat it as…
