Abortion is not just a political headline, it is a discipleship test for parents. If you have ever wondered when to bring it up with your kids, what to say without panicking, or how to respond when the culture sounds more confident than the church, this conversation gives you a path forward. We start with the why: the cultural reality that younger generations are being catechized fast, and families need a true reference point for moral direction. Then we build that foundation from Scripture, focusing on the image of God, God’s heart for the vulnerable, and our call to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. David is joined by his daughter Autumn, a biology student and former Creation Museum speaker, to connect biblical conviction with real-world clarity. From there we get practical and specific. We define abortion plainly, explain why “pro-life” is bigger than one issue, and walk through embryology and the claim that life begins at fertilization. Autumn also shares a simple framework you can remember, SLED (Size, Level of development, Environment, Degree of dependency), to show why the differences between born and unborn humans do not erase a person’s right to life. Finally, we address common pro-choice objections with compassion and logic, including “potential life,” financial pressure, “safe and legal,” “my body, my choice,” and the heartbreak of rape or incest, while pointing to the church’s role in tangible care and the hope of the gospel.
