Ready to talk about abortion?

What's coming up? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.
Abortion is often seen as a way of protecting women. Women have to be equal, so let's protect their rights! What if it isn't? What if abortion is the exact opposite? What if abortion is really a war against women?
What if we went further and said that abortion is one of the worst evils being done in our world today? As a commenter on my Facebook page said about this topic, he can't believe that he has to go out and defend life. Many of us today are shocked that we have to do this.
What if there's also more to the debate than just personhood? We can focus so much on the question of if the unborn are persons or not. Could it be that our energies could be better focused elsewhere than on this topic?
Our guest tomorrow holds to these positions. He's done a number of debates on the topic of abortion and has extensive research on it. We're going to be talking with him about all of this. His name is John Ferrer.
So who is he?
* SES - MDiv Apologetics w/ emphasis in Languages
* SWBTS - ThM & PhD - Philosophy of Religion, w/ Ethics minor
* Dissertation - "Body Ethics" (a study of our ethical responsibilities in, to, and through our bodies).
* Publishings with Christian Research Journal, Salvo Magazine, Christian Apologetics Journal, Journal of the International Society of Christian Apologetics, and others.
* Debates with Matt Dillahunty of "The Atheist Experience," and with David Smalley of "Dogma Debate."
* I have teaching experience with Texas Wesleyan University, Tarrant County College, Pantego Christian Academy.
* I host two teaching websites: IntelligentChristianFaith.com and AbortionHistoryMuseum.com.
* Currently I'm a teaching fellow with Equal Rights Institute, a pro-life training group in Concord, NC.
* I also volunteer with Pella ProLife and Central College Students for Life.
We'll be talking with him about many of these experiences and about why he's involved in the pro-life cause. Why should we care so much about the topic of abortion? What is his experience like getting to debate with Matt Dillahunty and David Smalley?
We'll also be talking about the current work that he is doing in the area of abortion and apologetics and the abortion history museum. What is the history of abortion? Does it really kick off in 1the 1970's or is there a whole lot more that we need to know about beforehand? We can also discuss about the question of bodily ethics and ask how abortion relates and what it is we are supposed to be doing with our bodies?
I hope you'll be listening in. Very soon we will be updating the podcast feed to get some new December episodes up and then we can start looking at episodes in January about the topic of abortion. Please consider going on iTunes and leaving a positive review of the Deeper Waters Podcast. I really love to see what you guys think and to realize how much you enjoy listening to the show.
In Christ,
Nick Peters
