Curtis Chang and Guest Question Whether an Unborn Fetus is a Human Being Worthy of the Same Protection as a 2YO

Russell Moore, David French, and Curtis Chang—three names that have wormed their way into Christian discourse under the guise of unity and healing, but whose agenda reeks of progressive subversion. Their new project, “The After Party,” pretends to offer “biblical guidance” for navigating political tensions within the Church, but it’s nothing more than a Trojan horse for leftist ideologies.

Moore, notorious for steering the Southern Baptist Convention toward the woke abyss during his time at the ERLC, has long embraced leftist causes from his Southern Baptist platform, from cozying up to open borders advocates to his implicit support for LGBTQ activism​.

David French, the man who bizarrely labeled drag queen story hours as a “blessing of liberty,” continues to align with the left, railing against conservative evangelicals while finding common ground with those who push the most depraved elements of the progressive agenda​.

Curtis Chang, no stranger to controversy, once claimed that the COVID vaccine somehow “redeems” the use of abortion-derived cells, a statement as absurd as it is offensive. So it should come as no surprise that Chang, along with his guest, Pete Wehner, question whether or not a fetus is a human being, and whether or not it is worthy of the same protections as a two-year-old child.

Wehner postulates, along with Chang nodding in agreement:

At some point along the lines of pregnancy, whether you’re in the sixth, seventh, eighth month, ninth month, I mean that’s a human being. And so I’ve always felt like we should give the benefit of the doubt to that entity and treat it with some degree of reverence.

I’d say the caveats that I’ve had are several fold. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to live what I think is the logic of that position. And let me explain what I mean by that. One thing is I believe and I’ve always believed in exceptions for rape and incest.

And strictly speaking, that the pro -life position would not allow those exceptions. They would say that’s a human child at any point in pregnancy and whether that pregnancy happened because of rape or incest, that child should not pay the ultimate price. So there’s no room for the exceptions.


Beyond that, you know, it’s just a biological fact that half of all pregnancies and in spontaneous abortions. Do we treat that, or should we treat that as the same thing as if somebody took a two -year-old child, wind him up on the side of a building and put a bullet through his skull?

Is that morally the same? Is it viscerally the same? Is it in any respect the same? I’ve never felt that it is.
