What are the toughest and most common challenges from the pro-choice position to pro-life?

We're talking about the issue of abortion today, and we're going to tackle the top 10 challenges to the pro-life position.

My name is Sean McDow.

I'm your host.

I'm here with Dr Scott Ray, my co-host,

who's written a lot on this issue.

You're watching the Think Bibliclically Podcast brought to you by

Biola University. So we're gonna go through the top 10, give our thoughts on each

one of these, but two questions before we jump in that I think will help our viewers and

listeners frame this. Number one, what is the heart of the case for pro-life?

What's the key question?

Really simple. Is the key question? Really simple.

Is the unborn child, whether embryo or fetus or just before birth, a full human person with legal right to life and protectability.

Okay. Because if he if he or she is not then it's not hard to understand why a woman's right over

her own body would trump that but if the unborn whether inside or outside the womb, is a full image of God-bearing rights-bearing

person, a separate entity from the mother. If that's what it, if that's the kind of thing it is, then it's a

slam dunk case in the other direction. That's really helpful. So we always have to bring challenges back to the status of the unborn.

Here's a simple way I'll make the case for life. Humans get human rights.

The right to life is a human right. The unborn is human. Therefore, the unborn has the right to life.

Now right away people say, wait a minute Scott, you use the term person. I use the term

human. Is being human sufficient or do we have to argue that the unborn is not only human, but it's also a person to have the right to life?

Well, being human is sufficient.
