The Bible is Pro-Life

I just finished putting up an article I wrote this summer about fetal rights and the Bible. It's called The Bible is Pro-Life. It's a response to Joyce Arthur's Anti-Choicers Don't Have a Biblical Leg to Stand On: The Bible is Pro-Choice.

I strongly felt the need to counter many of the points addressed in the articles, as they are frequently adduced in debates about fetal rights.

It's about 9700 words. A long article to be sure, but as St. Thomas Aquinas said, it takes longer to respond to objections than to make them. The original itself was over 3000.

It's always a bit nerve-wracking to put out a piece like this because you never know if anyone is actually going to read it, let alone appreciate it.
