In a recent Matters of Life podcast (https://www.johnwyatt.com/did-ending-roe-v-wade-actually-save-unborn-childrens-lives/) John and Tim Wyatt made the claim that changing abortion law does little or nothing to reduce the number of abortions - echoing the claim often made by the abortion lobby.

2023-10-171h 23About AbortionLove, Lust, and a Licence to Kill: Why Sexual "Freedom" KillsIt's one of the most famous and scandalous stories in the Bible: King David's adulterous affair with Bathsheba, and his assassination of her husband, Uriah.
In this Bible study on 2 Samuel 11, Tim and Dave explore the connection between sexual sin and violence.
Adultery and killing go hand in hand, from the personal to the national level.
Do we see how fatal lust is?
Do we understand that there is little more (potentially) dangerous than what we do in the bedroom?
Have we clocked that our generation is one of the most promiscuous and the most genocidal?

A great hole has been left.
But something much, much greater is missing.
This whole affair has revealed something deeply wrong in the psyche of our nation, and professing Church.
Dave explores the theology of trees, the idolatry of trees, and how we as Christians should respond to all this.

A picture of a living human unborn child caused quite a stir in the popular and picturesque Lake District town of Keswick this Summer.

A band of locals even took to covering it up with a bedsheet.
Why is a picture of a living baby so controversial?

2022-09-2054 minAbout AbortionEpisode 14 - 1967-2022: The Evangelical Story in 4 Books (HDWGH? Part 4)Having observed last week the dismal starting-point of Protestants with regard to “abortion” in the mid-60s, Dave continues to track the history of the UK Church’s response through four key books. Although not much improved in the 70s, thereafter we see increasing biblical light shed on the issue by Evangelical writers, and we are able to finish this week’s episode on a hopeful note. Our fourth book represents glimpses of the beginnings of new levels of awareness and conviction in the UK Church, but a great challenge remains for each one of us: are we in, or not? T...
2022-09-1322 minAbout AbortionEpisode 13 - The C of E's Abortion Act: How the Church ushered in a genocide (HDWGH? Part 3)Have you ever heard of the Abortion Act 1965? Do you know who drafted it? Listen to the shocking story of how the Church of England actively paved the way for the legislative change that resulted in the slaughter of 10 million babies in our land. Dave unpacks the deeply disturbing, hugely influential, but nowadays little-known report produced by the Church of England in the mid-60s: Abortion: An Ethical Dilemma. This is Part 3 of our mini-series, “How did we get here?” - tracking the key moments and processes that brought us to where we are today with regard to the baby ge...
2022-09-0833 minAbout AbortionImage of God: human doings or human beings? | Ft. Beth DaveyThe Imago Dei is a Christian doctrine that has shaped the world. Ideas such as human rights, care for the elderly or the disabled, racial equality, and emancipation all find their roots in this uniquely Judeo-Christian idea. On the question of "abortion", it's all-important. But do we really understand what it means? Beth Davey joins us to explore the biblical understanding of what it means that we are made in the image of God, and how it confronts our modern concepts of "personhood". Our conversation finishes with a penetrating challenge to those who say that they uphold the authority of...
2022-08-0242 minAbout Abortion'But the bible doesn't talk about abortion, does it?' | Ft. Tim LewisOnly a tiny fraction of Christians in the UK has ever heard thorough teaching on abortion from the Bible. As a result, many are unaware of what - if anything - the Bible has to say on this issue: many assume that the Bible is unclear, and it's up to us to decide. This lack of clarity leads to confusion and lack of conviction at best, deeply antichristian attitudes and responses at worst. Tim Lewis is currently working on a PhD on the biblical theology of the unborn child, and here he speaks with Dave about the incredibly rich wo...

About AbortionBlind spot? What blind spot? | Ft. Camilla OlimIn this week's episode Dave catches up with Camilla Olim who has just released one of the most insightful and impactful books on abortion out there: For Those Being Crushed. This book is a great place to start for a Christian (or anyone) seeking to understand this issue from scratch. It's extremely readable, breaking down what can seem an overwhelming sunject into digestible units. And it's immensely practical, with clear pointers as to what we can and should do. Why not buy a few copies, hand them out to a bunch of friends or around your church or small grou...

Christian HackingIn this, the first full episode of About Abortion, Dave is joined by old friend and now colleague Christian Hacking, who works as Public Engagement Officer for CBRUK, to set the record straight on what abortion actually is. Reacting to responses from members of the public, Dave and Christian lift the lid on what is shrouded in misunderstanding and cloaked in euphemism. Before we get onto opinions and implications, we need to be clear on the facts. How can we move forward on the issue of abortion if we’re unclear as to what it even is?
