| 0:26.9 | Slack.com slash DHQ. Welcome to the show, the car cast, as I call it now. Everybody, thanks |
| 0:33.0 | for listening. Now, I want to talk today about the worst, the worst pro-abortion argument. |
| 0:41.8 | And there are great many to choose from. So this is a difficult, it's pretty difficult |
| 0:45.4 | to decide. There's a whole buffet, a just smorgasbord of terrible, awful, illogical, anti-science |
| 0:55.6 | arguments because every pro-abortion argument is bad. Not just bad morally, but also just |

| 1:50.9 | argument isn't true. But still, we should stipulate that it isn't at all true. There's |
| 1:57.7 | no such thing as a merely potential human. Either you're a human or you're not. Okay, either |
| 2:07.3 | you're a person or you're not. A human is a human, a person is a person, an unborn child |
