The Hard Cases: Is Abortion Justified? (a discussion with my wife Chelsea)

My wife Chelsea returns to Truthspresso to continue a series discussing abortion.Abortion advocates often bring up rape and incest as exceptional cases to defend abortion. We analyze these hard cases to see if abortion really should be justified. Perhaps adding abortion to the trauma of a crime is not the ideal solution.Chelsea holds a B.S. in Nursing from Regis University, a Masters in Nursing from Pensacola Christian College, and a post-Master’s certificate in Certified Nurse Midwifery from the University of Colorado. She has worked as a pediatric nurse, has volunteered over eight years of work at crisis pregnancy centers in Colorado and Florida, and has delivered over 100 babies.

The Right to Life and Absolute Truth (a discussion with my wife Chelsea)

My wife Chelsea returns to Truthspresso to continue a series discussing abortion.We ask and answer challenges from the pro-abortion side about when abortion is justified. Using Scott Klusendorf’s “SLED” model we explain why questions about size, level of development, environment (or location) and degree of dependency cannot justify killing the unborn or consider them less human or have a lesser right to life.Chelsea presents how the regulation against “partial-birth abortion” is difficult to enforce. I explain that pro-abortion philosophy ultimately can only be relative and progressive and cannot be grounded on absolute truth.Absolute truth and justice demands an absolute truth Giver. The gospel of Jesus Christ and the truth of the Bible are the only complete solution against the tragedy

Unborn Lives Matter (a discussion with my wife Chelsea)

My wife Chelsea returns to Truthspresso to continue a series discussing abortion.We begin by talking about the tragedy of George Floyd’s murder. We analyze the issue of “racism” and how the definition has changed over time to include political ideologies.From the standpoint of recognizing the battles that exist over the value of human lives, we examine the issue of the unborn. Chelsea presents the unfortunate statistics of abortions among various ethnicities. She then explains the medical methods of birth control and how many of them can cause abortions.I quote from Marget Sanger’s articles and books that demonstrate her extreme views that are influenced by eugenics and are potentially “racist.” Margaret Sanger wanted “birth control” as a means for the state

Approaching Abortion with Compassion (a discussion with my wife Chelsea)

My wife Chelsea returns to Truthspresso to continue a series discussing abortion.We discuss what abortion advocates can miss from the pro-life movement: that we understand why people believe they need abortion. No one, including the pro-life movement, can discount the stressful and difficult situations many young people face as abortion is offered as a desperate and quick fix.Chelsea explains different pro-life ministries from sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics to conversational displays at colleges and high schools to crisis pregnancy centers. She shares two powerful examples of how she persuaded two young women on separate occasions not to abort their baby.We hope this episode encourages you to embrace strong pro-life convictions while showing the love of Christ.Chelsea holds a B.S. in

Is Abortion “Essential”? (a discussion with my wife Chelsea)

My wife Chelsea and I discuss an overview of the topic of abortion.We open with an article about the CEO of Planned Parenthood in Colorado being happy that Texans are coming to Colorado to get more abortions during the pandemic.Chelsea explains different types of abortion procedures from “chemical” in early weeks of pregnancy to “surgical” in later weeks, and how women are exploited by the abortion industry.Daniel briefly tours abortion policy through American history. As science has advanced, Daniel shows how pro-abortion arguments have shifted from science to philosophies of “rights.”Chelsea holds a B.S. in Nursing from Regis University, a Masters in Nursing from Pensacola Christian College, and a post-Master’s certificate in Certified Nurse Midwifery from the University of Colorado.
