An Interview with Randy Alcorn

Randy Alcorn was recently interviewed by Jason Kovacs concerning topics of adoption, the gospel and being pro-life. You can read part 1 of the interview here. I found this exchange to be particularly insightful:

Jason: Would you agree that being pro-life or pro-adoption are two sides of the same coin?

Randy: Sure. There should essentially be no distinction between them because you cannot be pro-life without being pro-adoption, and the reason you would be pro-adoption is because you’re pro-life. Now there are people who open their homes, who work in the area of adoption, who are nonetheless pro-choice, meaning they defend legalized abortion. That is, to me, inconsistent in a very dramatic way. Nonetheless, among Christians who are involved in adoption, I would think you would have nearly a universal pro-life position. Even among many unbelievers there would be a sense of pro-life as well as pro-adoption, but certainly you cannot be pro-life without being pro-adoption. I mean, how could you? It would be unthinkable.
