This is the ninth chapter of a book in progress, with the working title “Be Not Afraid of Their Terror.” The first chapter is here: While it’s not the Christian’s duty to define his own enemies, they do exist in the form of those who advocate for objectively evil actions. There are many battles being fought in the Western political sphere over issues that intersect with Christian pre-political ethics, which we should, therefore, take a strong public position on. Rather than list all of the issues I believe to be pre-political—something that would require a tangent of explaining what makes them pre-political and to what degree we should oppose them—I’ll focus on one issue that all orthodox Protestants should be able to agree on, that of abortion.
