Christopher Hitchens is Pro-life! no joke involved.

I surprisingly came across a video on Youtube showing Christopher Hitchens to be pro-life.

At the 37 second mark Ben Stein asks Christopher Hitchens: Are you involved in the Pro-life movement in that case?

**“Um, I believe that the concept of the unborn child is a real concept, yes. And I’ve had alot of quarrels with some of my fellow materialists and seculartists on this point”. I think that if the concept child means anything. The concept unborn child can be said to mean something…

And actually all of the discoveries of embryology…which have been very considerable, in the last generation or so …the viability appear to confirm…uh that opinion. Which is, I think it should be innate in everybody. It’s innate in the Hippocratic oath, its instinct in anyone who’s watched a sonogram. So yes is my answer." **

Peace.

Indeed there is a growing movement of Libertarians and Atheists who are Pro-Life and who are reaching this position by Reasoning. I think that this will help debunk the myth that Religious pro-lifers take this position solely based on emotion rather than solid reasoning, and that Faith can preceed Reason because the Religious Pro-Life movement has been active before many of the discoveries that Mr. Hitchen’s is referring to.

Now that the Reason argument is coming out, it will no doubt help the Pro-Life cause, but we as Religious Pro-Lifers should always be able to Reason the Pro-Life case, we must be prepared to show the logical basis for our Pro-Life position, and help debunk the myth that we are merely trying to impose our religious beliefs upon others. If someone needs help understanding the logical basis for our arguments, I strongly recommend getting the “Pro-Life Answers” booklet from Priests for Life. You can order it from priestsforlife.org

Here is an interesting web site from an atheist.

Thank you for posting the link on Libertarians for Life. If people from all walks of life would unite on the Pro life issue, how much better of a world it would be where the human dignity of all beings from the womb to the tomb are respected.

Peace.
