“We all have 24 hours in a day, but we don’t all have the same 24 hours.”-Cara Harvey, A Purpose Driven Mom One of the greatest challenges we face is how we will spend our time.How we can get it all done and still have time for the things that are important to us.

***Reposting this podcast with fixed audio. We had a glitch when we rendered this one in Premiere Pro where it sounded fine in the program, but the rendered file had a terrible audio echo. Josh missed it because he was in a hurry and didn't check the rendered file before uploading, and then went on sabbatical. Sorry about that! Now we know to not skip that quality control check. Because of the nature of the problem we couldn't make this a perfect mix, so it's a little worse audio than usual, but the echo is gone so it's way easier to listen to now. Thanks for your patience!*** Josh Brahm and Rachel Crawford dive deeper into the pro-choice argument regarding back-alley abortions than we ever have before on ERI. Topics include understanding why this argument is particularly persuasive to pro-choice people, the most persuasive responses, several bad pro-life responses, and how some pro-abortion-choice advocates lied about this before Roe vs. Wade. A good question to ask: “Do you think like I do, that abortion is an unjust act of violence against an innocent person? If you don’t, that’s okay and we should talk about that. But I do, and so it affects the way I think about these questions. Can you think of one other example where we should keep an unjust act of violence legal to make it safer for a perpetrator to do it anyway?” Mary Anne Warren: “The fact that restricting access to abortion has tragic side effects does not, in itself, show that restrictions are unjustified, since murder is wrong regardless of the consequences of prohibiting it.” Source: “On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion,” in The Problem of Abortion, Joel Feinberg, et al, Wadsworth, 1984, p.103 Mary Calderone: “Abortion is no longer a dangerous procedure. This applies not just to therapeutic abortions as performed in hospitals but also to so-called illegal abortions as done by physicians . . . Second, and even more important, the conference estimated that 90 per cent of all illegal abortions are presently being done by physicians, trained as such; and many of them are in good standing in their communities. They must do a pretty good job if the death rate is as low as it is.” Source: “Illegal Abortion as a Public Health Problem,” American Journal of Health 50 (July I960): 949 Afred Kinsey source: Cincinnati, Ohio: Hayes Publishing Co, 1988), 169. Dr. Bernard Nathanson: “It was always '5,000 to 10,000 deaths a year,' I confess that I knew the figures were totally false, and I suppose the others did too if they stopped to think of it. But in the 'morality' of our revolution, it was a useful figure, widely accepted, so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics? The overriding concern was to get the laws [against abortion] eliminated, and anything within reason that had to be done was permissible.” Source: Aborting America, New York, Doubleday, 1979, 193 Dr. Christopher Tietze, chief statistician for, among others, Planned Parenthood and the CDC at the time: “Some 30 years ago it was judged that [illegal abortion] deaths might number 5,000 to 10,000 per year, but this rate, even if it was approximately correct at the time, cannot be anywhere near the true rate now. The total number of deaths from ALL causes among women of reproductive age in the U.S. is not more than about 50,000 per year. The National Center for Health Statistics listed 235 deaths from abortion in 1965. Total mortality from illegal abortions was undoubtedly larger than that figure, but in all likelihood it was under 1,000.” Source: Scientific America, volume 220 in 1969 Related Links: We referenced a graphic image of Gerri Santoro's body, who died because of an illegal abortion in 1964. Then picture is circulated in textbooks today, and it was also published in Ms. Magazine in 1973. Here's a link to the Wikipedia article about her, that includes the famous picture.

Josh, Tim, and Rachel Crawford finish their discussion on relational apologetics. In this episode we focus on multiple arguments for doing this as well as 12 practical tips: Don’t be a jerk. Avoid long public Facebook debates. Start with email but try to eventually move to Skype or in person. Don’t think of this as a war. Daniel Cohen at TED: “If argument equals war, then learning equals losing.” Be obviously open-minded. Don’t think of the other person as your project, or a potential notch for your belt. Actively work to break down stereotypes about pro-lifers. Understand the value of arguments. Don’t just debate issues. As far as religion goes, don’t hide your beliefs or pretend like it doesn’t influence your position if it does, but also don’t drown them in a faith discussion if they aren’t interested. Allow the person to remain unconvinced. It is okay to follow cues and make educated guesses to factor into how you make arguments, but don’t treat even a well-educated guess as hard fact. If you’ve talked with them extensively, give them the “inside scoop” into your pro-life work.

Officially, it’s armed conflict. But is it time for an update? Has the end goal changed? And, who gets to decide? There's a lot of rhetoric today about whether or not we are in, or on the brink of, some kind of new global war.  While this may feel unprecedented for many in the West, conflict is still commonplace in many parts of the world. But what exactly IS a state of war? Has it changed? And what does it feel like to experience being in a war? We explore these questions and more in this episode We start off with a panel discussion hosted by Allie Elwell, with Marissa Diaz, and Col.
