Truth Tribe with Douglas Groothuis24 Apr 2023

Against Abortion, for the Unborn

In this episode, Dr. Groothuis presents a biblical and logical argument against abortion and for the value of unborn human life. He begins by discussing Reproductive Health Equity Act before the Colorado State Congress, which would forbid any restriction on abortion and deny any moral value to the unborn.

He argues that a fetus is a living being, not a potential life, and that it is a human being, not a potential human. He further argues that the unborn ought to be a recipient of legal protection, and that any life-taker carries the burden of proof. Dr. Groothuis condemns the bill as untrue, irrational, inhumane, and unjust and requests that it be voted down.
