The president’s speech at Notre Dame was not the first time that this kind of appeal has been made, but it is certainly one of the more recent and more high-profile than most. As others have done over the last three decades, our president, when speaking about “the issue of abortion,” fancied the notion that the two opposing viewpoints (which he admitted were “contradictory” and “irreconcilable”) should seek to “discover at least the possibility of common ground.”
Common ground? Where is the common ground between killing a baby and bringing a living child into this world? Where is the common ground between respecting/valuing life in the womb and claiming it’s just a fetus of unborn biological matter? Where is the common ground between life and death, right and wrong, good and evil? The answer is—there is none!
Folks, this is not merely about our president. This is about moral absolutes that God has fixed and that we have no right to compromise (even a little)! Call “abortion” what it is—killing babies! God hates and opposes the practice unequivocally (Prov. 6:16-17)! So should we!
