@JLeslie “I’m curious as to what prompted the question?”
Silly. I bought a car, and whilst programming the AM band on the radio, I came across that old religious show. I think it was Unshackled, which has been on the air since 1950. I don’t know because I only listened to a minute of it. But I’m a distant fan of the show and appreciate what they do with it. Well, the shows stand out because of the old style, unchanged since the beginning. The stories are about how sinners can find new life in Jesus Christ. Supposedly all the stories are true, sent in by the listeners. They don’t pull any punches with subject matter, dealing with rape and killing all sorts of violence. As radio shows go, it’s a pretty good show.
Anyway, I bleeped in to a second of this show, and the man was telling the woman that motherhood began at the time of conception. She was a mother right now. And that seemed to have an affect upon her decision to have an abortion.
I don’t know how it turned out. The next station was playing Stairway to Heaven.
