Sometimes Your Pastor Needs a Logic Course

from The Case for Life · host Scott Klusendorf

Progressive pastor Caleb Lines claims religious people didn't care about abortion until 1978, when it was picked up as cover for segregation — so abortion, he says, is "really about racism." Scott Klusendorf names the genetic fallacy driving that whole argument, grants the pastor his premise to show it still refutes nothing, then corrects the history of the church's witness on abortion from the Didache through the Reformers to Bonhoeffer. Learn to spot the move the next time someone swaps your argument for your alleged motives, on this episode of The Case for Life.
