About Abortion

Is there a more divisive, controversial, or (for many) painful issue than abortion?1 in 3 women in the UK has at least one abortion in her lifetime, and yet almost no-one is talking about it. If the subject ever is broached, it’s often not in the most helpful way: more heat than light; people talking past, at, or for each other, instead of to each other. It’s time for a proper conversation about abortion. Dave Brennan, together with a whole range of guests, helps us to think through this issue carefully and calmly, examining facts, experiences, and arguments from all sides.

What about children seeing the images? 29.08.2023

"When we conduct public education displays including graphic 'abortion' imagery, there's a chance that children will see them. How can we justify this, since we would seek to shield our own children from such imagery?"I was recently asked this question by someone who is considering joining with us in our public education work. Here is my response... Join the Movement now to e...

Is Lucy Letby really the worst serial child killer? Featuring Aisling Goodison 22.08.2023

The media has been filled over the last few days with the horrific story of Lucy Letby murdering at least seven neonatal babies under her care at the Countess of Chester hospital. Condemnation of the attacks has been unanimous, and she has been dubbed the worst serial child killer in modern British history. But is she? Dave brings on his old friend and colleague Aisling Goodison who has worked for...

We think you should watch this debate... 15.08.2023

Have you ever heard the phrase 'Abortion is healthcare'? Have you ever stopped and thought about what that sentence means? This week we have something a little different. A couple of weeks ago our friend Christian Hacking had the opportunity to speak with Anne Furedi. This conversation was very open and honest. Is abortion healthcare? watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi1S9... Jo...

Does the New Testament support abortion?? 08.08.2023

Should Carla Foster be let out of prison? (featuring Tim Lewis) 01.08.2023

A woman sentenced to prison for the killing of her 32-week baby, obtaining and using drugs way past their medical and legal limit, has now effectively been released as the case has been appealed and the sentence suspended. How should Christians think of this? Is it ever loving to put a mother of three in prison? What's happening to rule of law in our country? Should Christians seek to legislat...

Pro-Life Apologetics in a Post-Truth World?? Live at the Teams Conference 25.07.2023

How do we engage an unbelieving world on a moral issue like "abortion"? Do people have to become Christians before they can become pro-life? Should we find secular common ground or should we proclaim authoritatively from the Bible? Is the human rights argument strong enough? How do we respond to the rapid changes in our culture over the last five years in particular? In this week's e...

Does Psalm 139 really mean what you think? 18.07.2023

I am fearfully and wonderfully made! This Scriptural truth has become a self-esteem message in some areas of the church. But what did David really mean when he wrote this? Is he praising himself or the God who made him? How does this well known passage speak to the issues of today? Join Beth as she seeks to reclaim this over used passage from coffee mugs and notebooks, and refrain it in light of t...

Honest Conversations: Is Pastor Sats Convinced? 11.07.2023

Why didn't Jesus go round fixing all the social ills of the day? Is politics a distraction from the gospel? Is this a nuanced issue, or black and white? What are we to make of the "polarisation" issue that Sats mentions? In “Honest Conversations” we are speaking exclusively with church leaders about the importance of engaging the issue of “abortion” from the front of church, and in p...

Scots Baby Genocide Rises Sharply 13.06.2023

The baby-killing rate in Scotland just spiked. The recently released 2022 statistics show an increase of about a fifth compared to 2021. We've never seen such a rise in recent history. What's caused this up-tick? And how should we respond? Dave joins Scottish CBRUK Team Leaders, Katie and Juliet, to talk numbers, culture, and the responsibility of the Church in the face of a genocide. Here...

Seed, Serpents and The Saviour - Tim Lewis at the Church leaders conference 06.06.2023

On May 26th church leaders from around the Liverpool area gathered to consider what God's word has to say on the issue of 'abortion', and how it's the job of the Church and specifically of pastors to respond. By God's grace this was a powerful time. In this week's episode we're airing Tim Lewis's talk from the breakfast, looking at what the Bible says from Genesis t...

"Women Will Die"? Roe v Wade 1 Year On 01.06.2023

The 24th of June - this Saturday - marks the one year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v Wade. So what's been the fruit of this landmark decision? Has it just driven "abortions" underground? Are just as many "abortions" happening? Are women being harmed by dangerous backstreet "abortion"? The results are in and the impact already on numbers of babies being ki...

The West's African Genocide Today (ft Lennox Kalifungwa) 30.05.2023

Dave speaks with his friend Lennox from Zambia about the influence of Europe and the West and the rest of the world on Africa, from Christianity to communism, to the present-day genocide of African babies by the Western baby-killing giants Planned Parenthood and Marie Stopes International. Want to hear what Lennox thinks about Black Lives Matter? Ever wondered whether it's wrong for Christians...

Is XR’s climate activism cooling down? Is the WHO insisting on “abortion” up till birth, globally? 23.05.2023

In this "Frontlines and Headlines" episode, Christian and Dave explore the apparent "cooling" of XR's tactics (as they put down their soup and glue and pick up their microphones) and ask whether it represents a trajectory that pro-life activists should be seeking to emulate. They also ponder whether the Daily Sceptic's recent attempt at neutrality on the issue of "...

Where should Liverpool church leaders be, Friday 26th May?? feat. Pete Jackson and Tim Lewis 16.05.2023

Dave has a conversation with next Friday's speakers Pete and Tim. Why are men speaking into this? What's this got to do with the ministry of the pastor? Isn't this a distraction from gospel work? What are the dimensions to the baby genocide that Christians just aren't seeing? Registration is now open. https://www.brephos.org/event This event is designed for people involved at any l...

What about rape? 02.05.2023

“What about rape?” is probably the commonest question or objection you’ll hear as a pro-lifer. In this week’s episode, Dave briefly recaps on how we answer “hard cases” such as this, before going on to examine an interesting turn in mainstream media, a BBC article rehumanising and dignifying those conceived through rape. Does our society value all people equally? What would it look like if we foll...

Sturgeon Does The Splits 25.04.2023

Nicola Sturgeon's finest hour and parting gift? But how does it square with her other beliefs? Dave explores the cognitive dissonance displayed by Scotland's outgoing First Minister, who seems unsure as to whether the unborn are children to be recognised or growths to be gotten rid of...

Ultrasounds are "manipulative"?? A very disturbing conversation 04.04.2023

Often in the media it's pro-lifers, rather than those deliberately practising or advocating the deliberate killing of human babies, that are (along with their activities) demonised. Sometimes these seeds of thinking take root even in the Christian Church, and we end up more horrified by pro-lifers than we are by the violence of "abortion". Too many of us are apologising and blushing over things th...
