PDJ on abortion

A great video, delivered with sensitivity and thoughtfulness.

Abortion from Audio Advice on Vimeo.


One thing that stood out to me was Phillip taking care to speak of an embryo as 'human' and 'living' without necessarily talking of an embryo as 'a human' or 'a baby'.

He wasn't doing this to soften the fact that abortion is, at any point, the killing of a human life. The distinction is a fine one, but it helps articulate the discomfort we feel when pro-lifers talk about killing a 12 week old embryo with the same moral and emotional significance as killing a three year old infant.
