This is the first episode in Biblical Conversations on a “social issues” topic. We’re going to jump in deep. Let's talk about abortion. We can say with some confidence that this is the issue that got Trump elected - evangelicals loved his promise to select judges for SCOTUS that would be strongly anti-abortion. And, in the last several days, about 200 legislators signed an amicus brief to SCOTUS to revisit Roe vs Wade. Yet, conversations on this topic are typically rancorous and less than illuminating. In this discussion, Alisha Vincent, Jeff Pospisil and I had a very energetic yet completely enjoyable conversation coming at the question from three different angles. I think this episode will provide some new ways to approach the topic that some, if you’re interested and open, might find helpful. I recognize that this topic is painful to many, and I deeply hope this is a source of comfort and succor to weary souls. I do also hope that we provide something of a model for civil conversation on a challenging topic. The primary biblical text discussed is Exod 21:22-23 - the only legal text in the Bible touching on the question of the legal status of a pre-born infant in utero. Many thanks to Dr. Alisha Vincent and Jeffrey Pospisil for donating their time and energy to this conversation.
