This one has taken me months to do – the most difficult podcast I have ever done….

It includes….world abortion figures; what is abortion? abortion and the US election; Biden, Trump, Warren and Harris; partial-birth abortion; Planned Parenthood and the selling of baby body parts; billionaires promoting abortion in Michigan; Stevie Nicks; Abortion in the UK; Keir Starmer on human dignity; Banning protests; Peter Hitchens; Abortion in China and India; Babies surviving abortion in Australia; Louise Adsett; Dominic Perottet, abortion, politics and faith; Dr Joanna Howe; What about rape, incest, danger to the mothers life? Being pressured to have an abortion; Sylvester Stallone; Abortion in Malawi; Rev Rebecca Todd Peters, the PCUSA and abortion; Mother Teresa; the Secular Sacrament; and some personal stories.with music from Bach, Fleetwood Mac, DC Talk, Survivor; Godsmack; Disturbed; and the Sons of Korah…..

WHY?
Is there around one abortion per second globally? Why does the evangelical Church focus so much on gay sex while heterosexual sex produces mass murder on an unprecedented and industrial scale?
Interesting listen.
You should watch Tony Kaye’s 2006 documentary ‘Lake of Fire’ if you can (think it’s on Tubi in Australia). It’s pretty thorough (if perhaps outdated in relation to post-Roe America) and covers the arguments for and against abortion, as well as the history and events/discourse surrounding the issue (primarily in relation to America of course) and includes the actual experiences of abortion recipients (and relatedly, quite graphic and very matter of fact depictions of the actual procedure if you have the stomach for it/don’t mind those images in the mind).
Well done David , sensitively put over.
Excellent job! Forgive me for being small minded, but you had said you’d be featuring my book, “Evangelicals and Abortion” on this episode. It sounds like you may have got some of the information from the book. Perhaps that’s what you meant, but I guess I was wrongfully hoping for a bit of needed help promoting it…:(
In any case, thanks for endorsing it and all the help you’ve previously given. If anyone’s interested, here’s a helpful review from WORLD magazines in the US. A few others are planned, including in the UK and Australia. God bless! https://wng.org/articles/a-plea-for-the-pro-life-movement-1723471715
Be patient…..I ran out of time – so am going to give your book its own section in next weeks’ as part of a follow up…..it’s an important book and I didn’t want it to drown it what was already the longest episode I have ever done…!
Thank you!
The ‘Molech’ reference and the quote by Hitchens give this broadcast real power. Thanks!
Thank you David for this comprehensive podcast. Addressing an issue that many of us shy away from. May God be glorified.
God bless you for your bravery, and the clarity of this well researched and balanced podcast. Tragically in the UK this message is becoming increasingly unpalatable even amongst those who consider themselves evangelical: http://www.cbruk.org/what_really_happened_in_keswick
May God have mercy (Mt 5: 13-4)
Thanks David, a harrowing but excellent episode. To what extent do you think abortion can be seen as a modern-day equivalent of the child sacrifices carried out by e.g. the Canaanites in the Old Testament?
Totally – which is why I mentioned Molech in the episode…
