Episode notes

We're stuck right now in the pro life versus pro choice debate. It's like world war on trench warfare, right? Like y yes, this judicial decision gets a ito this hundred yards a inthe trench warfare. And i think the crativity that comes whenct we free ourselves from thinking its the law that is the only legal victory is the only victory here. Instead, again, re ground on the human reality that we are really trying to aim for and sympathize deeply with the other other side. That may well be overturned by next june. By this time next year, we could be pod casting in a post row America.

In a special Christmas episode, David French and Curtis Chang talk about the ultimate act of empathy (God becoming human) and the somewhat surprising debate going on in certain corners of the evangelical church; the idea that empathy can be a sin. How far should we go to understand another’s pain? Does empathy require moral agreement? Is our empathy sometimes selective, reserved for those we agree with and withheld from those we don’t?

David and Curtis also dig into some reader mail for a fascinating discussion of the issue of abortion and some surprising realities that may show why pro-life Christians should look beyond the mere legal rules established under Roe v. Wade.
