SLED

I was listening to Focus on the Family's radio broadcast this afternoon and heard Scott Klusendorf argue effectively for the pro-life/anti-abortion stance. I thought maybe some of you would especially appreciate his SLED acronym which helps us remember the logical arguments that support our position.

What are the four differences between a fetus and any other human being?

S = Size
L = Level of development
E = Environment
D = Degree of dependency

Scott used these to show that the fetus, even when a tiny group of cells, is a human being worthy of protection.

Take a listen or read Steve Wagner's article on this topic.
