In Roe vs. Wade, Associate Justice Harry Blackmun, speaking for the majority, said the Court was unable to determine when life begins.

So since we’re skeptical about when life begins, it should be the mother’s decision right? Well, no. Philosopher Peter Kreeft argues that “abortion agnosticism” is actually a reason why we should be pro-life, not the other way around.
In this video, I take a ten-minute snippet of Kreeft’s trilemma and set it to an animated whiteboard video to help drive Kreeft’s points home.
