- I mean that brings us into the focus of what you guys were examining in the
- 00:05
- March for Life. Catholic Woodstock. How does. Catholic Mecca. Catholic Mecca.
- 00:11
- Oh that's. You gotta make the journey. So the question is why does he have the views that he does about the seriousness of the third trimester and where does that come from.
- 00:18
- Right. You know. Well yeah I think the pro -life organizations have absolutely made certain kinds of abortions worse than any other abortion or later abortions are somehow deemed worse than earlier abortions.
- 00:33
- Right. Why though. Why. Yeah. Why have they done that. Well I think they've done that as a way to like win favor with the world.
- 00:42
- I think that's a huge part of it. I think they feel like if they're outright against abortion at all that they won't win as many points with politicians or just major news organizations in general.
- 01:01
- And so if you go to National Right to Life you're going to see. I mean you're going to see nuns in full garb.
- 01:08
- You'll see priests in full garb. People marching with you know crucifixes five ten feet high.
- 01:16
- Yeah. I mean it is a Catholic Woodstock like that. I mean that's just there's tons of Catholic high schools that come and visit and and it's all rah rah rah pep rally with like no plan to win the game.
- 01:30
- Right. So. So it's just people saying I love babies. Yes I do. I love babies.
- 01:35
- How about you. I love babies. Yes I do. It's just like all day. Well that's what I was talking about with John before the show is like man there's no for victory only a game that you continually fight but there's no end in sight.
- 01:52
- Ultimately there's nothing that we're getting to and that they may say yeah we want to end abortion.
- 01:57
- Yeah. But there's no strategy. Well they will tell you this is what they will tell you. They say the first thing is we have to do create a culture for life.
- 02:07
- A culture of life. Well how do you do that. How do you create a culture of life. Right. Right. Well you educate people.
- 02:13
- Well conversion. Yeah. To what. Right. Yeah. So. So they'll use biblical language like the truth will set you free.
- 02:21
- And you know like biblical language anytime it's talking about the truth and being set free and and all that and conversion.
- 02:29
- It's all about just going from pro choice to pro life. Right. So there's absolutely zero and it's all neutrality.
- 02:36
- It's all neutrality. There's zero regeneration that needs to happen. There's zero gospel proclamation.
- 02:43
- In fact the theme of this year's national right to life was science is pro life.
- 02:52
- And so. So. It's all about science. So yeah it was all about science. You know I'm working on babies are murdered here too so I gathered clips of you know
- 03:00
- Ben Shapiro saying well this is not a Christian argument. This is a scientific argument.
- 03:06
- Or this is not a religious position. This is a this is a science position. And so they're really trying to move the needle farther away from this fight being centered in a
- 03:16
- Christian worldview when all of scripture speaks of such fights as being a judgment on the
- 03:23
- Christian people. So so all the ecumenical ism there's a there is a guy at the
- 03:28
- Family Research Council bragging about how he was making the Abby Johnson movie and they had atheists praying with him and Catholics and Hindus and Buddhists and like all.
- 03:39
- But how is that possible. How do atheists. He was like I don't know but I don't know. So they're wearing this as like this badge of honor.
- 03:49
- And it's not a badge of honor. It's a sign of like God is going to judge you for this.
- 03:56
- Like God is not happy about an ecumenical pro -life fight. Yeah. And just like that verse that we read at the beginning like if you don't have your fight not only your approach to this issue but also your methodology centered on Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
- 04:16
- Right. If that isn't how you approach this and instead you're taken captive to philosophy and human wisdom and empty deceit and all of these things these hollow worldly pragmatisms before.
- 04:30
- I mean yeah that's I mean think about it. It's not just for apologetics. No it's not. It's not just for apologetics it's for all of life.
