Following up on the acronym SLED (What To Say and How To Say It by Brandon Vogt.) where S is for Size. L is for Level of development. E is for Environment. D is for Dependency.
Environment: Here the pro-choice activist argues that a “fetus is not yet in the world.” Not so. While they may not be directly visible to us, the unborn are indeed in the world. Not only are they in the world at large, they are precisely where they are supposed to be. The womb has no other innate purpose than providing a safe haven for the nourishment and development of this specific human being. By definition the womb is the “organ in which the young are conceived and grow until birth.”
Thus, Environment is also is not a sufficient reason for denying the unborn their innate right to life. This criterion is not unique as a person is a person whether in a house, an igloo, an incubator or a womb.
In Christ, Ken.
