Scott Klusendorf continues his series on answering the leading academic defenders of abortion by turning to Peter Singer, whose mental continuity view claims that no newborn, much less unborn child, is a person until it can value its own existence.

Leslie Segraves joins Scott Klusendorf to reveal how the pro-life message transcends international borders, reaching from American high schools to South Asian communities where the vast majority of global abortions occur.
