This week's episode starts a new series, "A Blind Doctor: Dr. Willie Parker's Deadly Compassion." In it, we'll survey the new book "Life's Work: A Moral Argument for Choice" in which self-proclaimed Christian abortionist Willie Parker argues that Christian compassion requires an affirming, pro-choice position. In this first episode, we'll look at what we can get out of the book, at Dr. Parker's own story, and at the basics of his pro-abortion argument.
