In part 1, we looked at how what we believe about God and about us (humanity) shapes our ethics when it comes to abortion and euthanasia. There are four key questions that I encourage people to think about when making practical and ethical decisions. In this article we are going to look at the second… Continue reading The case for life part 2. Assisted Dying and what the Bible says about Creation and New Creation

The case for life (and against abortion & Euthanasia)
In the Uk we have seen two recent votes in the House of Commons touching on the beginning and end of life. First, an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill intending to decriminalise abortion for women in the case of their own pregnancy will have the affecting of enabling unregulated abortion up and to… Continue reading The case for life (and against abortion & Euthanasia)
Bad legislation makes for bad law
This is the first of a series of new videos responding to recent UK House of Commons debates and legislation on abortion and euthanasia.
Evil, absolute evil and abortion
I thought it might be helpful to revisit the discussion about “absolute evil” and abortion to think through more carefully about how we think about things. As a refresher, the debate was as to whether the recent amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill removing reference to a other aborting her own child should be… Continue reading Evil, absolute evil and abortion
Bad legislation leads to bad law (responding to the votes on abortion and euthanasia
I’m planning to respond a little more to the recent votes in the House of Commons on abortion and the assisted dying bill, probably through a mix of articles and videos. Here’s a video looking at how the legal changes have been introduced
Abortion, prosecution, prison and punishment
I don’t want to spend much more time responding to the interaction with The Wee Flea. However, one thing we need to be alert to when positing articles is what happens below the line. For this reason, I’m very cautious about having comments open generally on Faithroots. I have opened the comments on my original… Continue reading Abortion, prosecution, prison and punishment
Responding to the Wee Flea’s critique of my position on abortion law changes
I want to try and do for David Robertson (The Wee Flea), what I wish he had done for me and that is to engage with the substance of his article responding to me. You see, I think there are some substantial misunderstandings in his article and it is worth clarifying them. It would be… Continue reading Responding to the Wee Flea’s critique of my position on abortion law changes
Well that escalated quickly (A response from ‘the middle of the road’)
It wasn’t quite what I expected to wake up to this morning but I had a notification of an article linking to one of mine on my blog. The link was from quite a big name Christian writer and blogger. Should I be flattered to receive attention. Well it seems not. As you can read… Continue reading Well that escalated quickly (A response from ‘the middle of the road’)
Responding to this week’s grievous votes on abortion and euthanasia
I’m planning to reflect a bit more on the votes in parliament this week on Faithroots but this will be next week. Some quick thoughts though as starters. 1. When grievous things happen we should grieve and lament.2. We should not be surprised at sin. Shocked, saddened and even angry yes but not surprised. This… Continue reading Responding to this week’s grievous votes on abortion and euthanasia
The one that got through: implications of the decriminalisation of abortion in the UK
The Iron Dome missile defence system that protects Israel is highly impressive. However, we’ve seen that it can still let missiles through as Iran has launched a sustained barrage of ballistic missiles and drones against Israel. Christian defences against a culture of death at both the beginning and end of life may not be seen… Continue reading The one that got through: implications of the decriminalisation of abortion in the UK
