Abortion

Most of us grew up in the height of the Pro Life movement and were taught Christians had always believed abortion in any form was wrong and that life absolutely begins at conception.

But did you know that view doesn't match up historically with past views on abortion within the Church?

This week we talk about the history of the Pro Life movement and how we got to a place where many Christians would say you can't follow Jesus and be pro-choice.

The goal for this week is not to convince you abortion is okay or that you should be pro-choice, only to give you a glimpse into the diversity of thought held within the historical church.
