A Lot of Words

What does the Bible actually say about abortion?

Brett and Pastor Matt examine abortion from a Christian, pro-life perspective, beginning with the biblical basis for the value of human life and moving into some of the most difficult questions surrounding the issue.

They discuss rape and incest, “my body, my choice,” whether the church should stay out of abortion politics, Christians imposing their beliefs on non-Christians, the language we use when discussing abortion, IVF and frozen embryos, voting, and the church's role in the pro-life movement.

The conversation ultimately returns to the gospel and an important question for anyone affected by abortion: Can the blood of Christ cover this sin?
