Repsonse To The Kardashian Pregnancy

Denny Burk responds to the Kourtney Kardashian story about her choosing to keep her baby. If you have not read about this yet, you can do so here. Denny writes:

What I like about this testimony is not its rigorous pro-life logic. In fact, I don’t think Kardashian’s thinking reflects a consistent pro-life view at all. She still thinks women should have the right to choose. What’s beautiful about this story is that Kardashian’s pro-choice logic got overridden by her pro-life, motherly instincts. The bankrupt pro-abortion worldview was no match for the human treasure she came to see growing inside of her. She’s one step away from seeing that all the unborn are human treasures, just like her own baby. I hope and pray that she and so many others like her in our culture will be able to embrace that truth very soon.

Al Mohler responds as well:

As she thought about her decision, Kardashian concluded that "all the reasons why I wouldn't keep the baby were so selfish." She also received encouragement from her doctor. "My doctor told me there is nothing you will ever regret about having the baby, but he was like, 'You may regret not having the baby.' And I was like: That is so true."

The Culture of Death looms as a massive threat, but its foundations are crumbling. Unexpected witnesses such as Sarah Kliff and Kourtney Kardashian help us to see how moral insight can emerge from unexpected experiences, reflections, and witnesses. Some of the most profound witnesses to the horror of abortion and the sanctity of human life do not even know that they are so. The evil of abortion cannot be hidden once it is seen, and a voice for life cannot be forgotten once it is heard.
