The "Pro-Choice" crowd wants to keep abortion legal. One would think, then, that it would be simple for them to define this act they want to keep beneath the sanction of the law. And yet, sometimes, they struggle to put into words what exactly an abortion is. Maybe because even defining an abortion in any terms not laden with euphemism is disturbing. Aubrie and I recently approached a crowd of abortion advocate demonstrators to ask them to define an abortion. Watch their response.

Does it ever bother you when art intended to cater to Christians is covered with smiling faces, blue skies and labels such as "uplifting and encouraging"? Is it somehow anti-Christian to overflow with joy or bask in the beauty of a sunny afternoon? Is the Christian life devoid of uplifting and encouraging news? Of course not. What bothers me is that we---speaking collectively on behalf of American Christendom---focus almost exclusively upon the good news to the exclusion of the really bad news. What is the bad news?

What does it mean to say man is "saved" if he

I appreciate logical consistency. Sometimes, though, the desire to be consistent with one's pet views may lead to conclusions which are humorous, baffling---or even terrifying. I recently posted a survey on the Created Equal Facebook page asking the following question: When it comes to killing toddlers, are you pro-choice or anti-choice? The options: - Pro-Choice: I trust people to decide for themselves. - Anti-Choice: I oppose killing toddlers. Normally, this is a question upon which abortion advocates and opponents are united. While they disagree on the value of life in the womb, most agree that it is wrong to kill born children (exceptions include Peter Singer of Princeton). Admitting that common ground, however, is a dangerous step for the abortion advocate---for it does not take long to get from "it is wrong to kill toddlers" to "it is wrong to kill the preborn." Because of this, many who would personally rise to action if someone were actual
