Remembering Joe Scheidler (with Eric Scheidler)

Clinton is joined by Stacy Trasancos to talk about medical research involving human fetuses. Most of us are aware that fetal cells are often used in the development of vaccines, but there are other ways fetuses are used which pro-life people need to be aware of. Find us on Patreon!

Are Pro-Lifers Hypocrites and Does it Matter?

Clinton and Nathan are joined by Rebekah Dyer of Justice for All to talk about good tips for discussing abortion with pro-choice people. There's also a bit of a technical issue. For some reason, extracting the audio has cut off the end of the past few broadcasts. I'm working on seeing why that happens to avoid it in the future.

A Coronavirus Vaccine is Almost Among Us (and other news items)

You can find a link to a post on Hendrik's blog about his book here: https://apologiabyhendrikvanderbreggen.blogspot.com/2020/12/untangling-popular-pro-choice-arguments.html?fbclid=IwAR3D5DJZET_TDY92jqVm2m3o_mnjjki1vEEW3ITvWVWWS-McRLmzlftU9Ns

Untangling Pro-Choice Arguments (with Hendrik van der Breggen)

Clinton responds to the remaining eight Biblical arguments against the sanctity of human life that were left on a review of the podcast.

Biblical Arguments Against the Sanctity of Human Life

Christopher Kaczor returns to the Pro-Life Thinking podcast to join us in talking about his recently published book, Disputes in Bioethics. There were some sound anomalies in the recording, and we apologize about that. I have a theory what it might be so we'll try to get that corrected in the future. I eliminated as much of it as I could.  

Disputes in Bioethics (with Christopher Kaczor)

Clinton and Nathan talk about two articles being shared around social media. The first is an article by a former Focus on the Family speaker who considered having an abortion after her husband tragically died on a trip to the beach. Another is a woman who went into labor while taking her bar exam. Then they respond to some arguments from the Bible in defense of abortion they received on their iTunes rate and review page. The portion of the book I quoted from was Medical Ethics: Principles, Persons, and Problems by John M. Frame, pp. 95-102. See those pages for a much more in-depth examination of the passage from Exodus 21. Here's the link to "I was in the pro-life movement. But then, widowed with 6 kids, I prepared for an abortion." by Shannon Dingle https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2020/10/11/abortion-miscarriage-pro-life-choice-widow-column/5909096002/?fbclid=IwAR0jts3beyeNeqMuo2hN09jMJRku8rzMXPHPo07eK6_0GqISoBBvGqqmeZs Here's the link to "Woman goes into labor and gives birth in the middle of taking the bar exam" by Lauren M. Johnson https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/10/us/mom-has-baby-while-taking-bar-exam-trnd/index.html?fbclid=IwAR1N0d1zsgG3PYcvfkp2VGZn9IJ2y6ijTWGmJTZY17iqwvcOmEvgvqpXOHs

A Former Focus on the Family Speaker Becomes Pro-Choice

Clinton is joined by Chris Christiansen, who recently debated Valerie Tarico. They're going to analyze a video on YouTube by Ryan Chapman called A Politically Neutral Take on When Human Life Begins. Clinton and Chris also discuss the Biblical account of David losing his son and what it says about the pro-life position for Christians. They finish off with a discussion about the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. Here is a link to Chapman's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM49DB7jgDE&ab_channel=RyanChapman

A Politically Neutral Take on When Human Life Begins (with Chris Christiansen)

Lost episode! Clinton and Nathan recorded this episode in July, 2019, but post-production hadn't been done on the episode so it hasn't been released for public consumption. Now it's ready to go (at least as ready as it will ever be, considering audio through BlogTalkRadio isn't the greatest). The topic for discussion in this episode is gradualism, the idea that a human gains value as he develops (either because his capacity to feel pain develops, or for some other reason).

Gradualism

Clinton is joined by Braxton Hunter of Trinity Radio to discuss a debate between Eric Hernandez and "Maxwell Yates" on the existence of the soul. The 19th century rail worker whose name I was trying to remember was Phineas Gage, who experienced pronounced personality changes after having his brain fully pierced by a large iron spike. Here's the link to Pro-Life Thinking's YouTube channel, where you can watch our discussions live: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdQdRwZ92m74SMtz5__ORxA?view_as=subscriber Here is Trinity Radio's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzBRc0afgrS-PCrm6nka1_A Here is the link you watch the debate in its entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAHsXskI3cU

Debate Review: Eric Hernandez vs. "Maxwell Yates" (with Braxton Hunter)
