Since 2020, Christians (in particular, but certainly Christians
more broadly) have been faced with real questions about the
proper, God-ordained role of civil governance, love of neighbor,
liberty of conscience, and human flourishing.


One major issue at the forefront is that of abortion and
reproductive rights. Kerry Baldwin joins "Chortles" and "Wresby"
on Presbycast, a Confessionally-Reformed Christian podcast to
discussion libertarianism and the libertarian view of abortion in
particular.


In this episode, you'll hear a brief introduction to what's been
happening with the liberty movement, news from within the Party,
including the removal of the Abortion plank from the party
platform. You'll also get an introduction to Kerry Baldwin's
pro-life view of abortion. Discussion centers around the need for
asking a different set questions from the ones conventional
pro-lifers have been accustomed to discussing.


These questions include: how do we actually account for abortion
as murder in a legal sense? How is the legal question distinct
from the economic element? What exactly is being banned in states
across America right now? (It's not what you think it is). What
constitutes justice for crime, and particularly abortion? ... and
more!


If you're new to these ideas or have been persuaded that
libertarians are default pro-abortion advocates, you may find
this episode interesting and (hopefully) compelling. Baldwin is
in the process of formalizing her arguments in a libertarian
theory of reproductive rights for submission for peer review.


Join Kerry Baldwin with Presbycast as we Dare to Think about a
libertarian view of abortion.
