Episode 29: Abortion is Exploitive, Not Empowering
Your browser doesn't support HTML5 audio
There are new abortion-related headlines happening everyday. It’s easy to grow weary and feel like nothing can be done. But it’s important that we remain aware of the preeminent human rights violation and holocaust of our day. As painful as it is, as apathetic as we are tempted to become, you and I must remain informed. The reality is, at least half of all Americans are pro-life (more than half, by many measures) and yet our culture careens towards a fully anti-life climate more each day. On this episode we look at five headlines from just this past week and also discuss why it is that we are moving in an anti-life direction, when it’s not what most of us want. I look at how abortion is not empowering, but rather exploitive and how it has done so much harm in the past couple generations that people are largely silent with regret and remorse. The truth is, there is freedom and forgiveness available to those who confess their sin and receive Jesus’s payment for it. May that forgiveness lead to a movement of men and women who openly share and even shout the truth: abortion does not empower, it exploits.
