Abolitionists argue that a bill saving some babies teaches the wrong lesson, and they would let it die on the desk rather than sign it. Dr. Craig Ireland answers from the text itself: Isaiah 10 was addressed to Judah, not to you, and the people Scripture actually praises for saving lives were midwives in Egypt and a woman in Jericho who had no clean options at all. Find out why you are not legislating from Sinai, what Wilberforce and Lincoln understood about prudence that purists miss, and why the ground you can take today is worth taking, on this episode of The Case for Life.

A law on paper stops no abortion if no officer investigates, no prosecutor files, and no judge rules, which is why promising immediate abolition promises something no legislature can deliver. Australian pastor and theologian Dr. Craig Ireland, who holds a master’s in law, walks through what actually moves in a precedent-based legal system, why refusing partial protections trades real children for an ideal future, and why “our goal isn’t more babies saved” removes you from the conversation entirely. Watch, then decide which roadmap you’ll put your effort behind, on this episode of The Case for Life.

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.

Pregnancy centers exist to rescue children from abortion — so why are so many being pressured to become something else? Marc Newman, author of Pivot, joins Scott to name two distractions pulling centers off mission: the “pro-abundant life” push from one side and the equal protection guilting campaign from the other. Whether you give, volunteer, or just want to think clearly about how abortion actually gets stopped, this episode of The Case for Life is for you

Scott Klusendorf sits down with Jay Watts of Merely Human Ministries to examine the terminology pro-life advocates use — and why both men deliberately avoid the word “murder” when making the case against abortion. Jay shares his journey from atheist and pro-choice college student to full-time pro-life advocate, lays out the three questions he asks of every term he introduces, and answers critics who insist that only preaching the gospel can change hearts on abortion. Learn how to choose language that opens minds instead of shutting down the conversation on this episode of The Case for Life.

Scott Klusendorf sits down with Dr. Mark Newman to discuss his new book Pivot, which lays out a strategy for the pro-life movement in a post-Roe v. Wade world. They examine why abortion rights keep winning at the ballot box in deep red states, how pastors have been left unequipped by their seminaries, and why so-called equal protection bills are unenforceable — and may even cost unborn lives. Discover what it will take for the pro-life movement to work smarter and save the most lives possible on this episode of The Case for Life.

When pro-abortion advocates bristle at the label and insist they’re merely “pro-choice,” they reveal a telling instinct to apologize for something they claim is perfectly fine. Scott Klusendorf unpacks why that retreat to 1990s “safe, legal, and rare” language collapses under a single question—choice to do what?—and exposes the moral relativism quietly propping up the whole evasion. Tune in to sharpen your ability to cut through the fog and press for real clarity on this episode of the Case for Life.

Scott Klusendorf wraps up his series on the academic thinkers driving pro-abortion thought. Giubilini and Minerva shocked the world by arguing that if abortion is permissible, so is killing newborns—because neither fetus nor newborn is an “actual person.” David Boonin takes a different path, conceding that you are identical to the embryo you once were, yet denying you had a right to life back then. Learn how to answer both arguments—one based on identity, the other on rights—and see why either way the conclusion is deadly, on this episode of The Case for Life.
