Roe was an ill-supported political decision built on bad law and false history, as the Supreme Court said today. I recognized that even as a pro-abortion atheist at Yale Law School in the 1970’s. Now the court is admitting it. Finally. — PolitiTweet.org

@ElvineBelinda Roe was a political decision built on bad law and false history, as the majority opinion points out. I recognized that even as a pro-abortion atheist at Yale Law School in the 1970’s. Now the court finally admits it. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda I don’t have to tell you — today’s decision spells it out with great specificity. Read that. Purely as a legal decision, Roe is indefensible. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda So perhaps your real question should be why rabbis look at the same text and yield differing opinions? As Christians do. Our task ought to be to discern what the texts are really saying. That's called exegesis. When it's done well, abortion is not biblical. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda Besides, Jewish interpreters aren't monolithic. Among the great 20th century rabbis, Moshe Feinstein considered abortion murder; Shlomo Zalman Auerbach agreed; Joseph Soloveitchik said permitting abortion is "vulgar," & Ovadiya Yosef said it's rabbinically prohibited. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda But AGAIN, this is irrelevant to today’s decision, which is a legal rendering. Read it. See how the case is made from law and the Constitution. That’s where I’m focusing today. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda The Bible teaches the baby in the womb is truly human and God knows the unborn child. Jeremiah 1:5, Galatians 1:15, Genesis 139:14-16. Scripture condemns killing innocents. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda There are many moral wrongs not specifically named in the Bible. That doesn’t make them right. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda Christians believe the NT illuminates the OT text. The Didache, which explicitly outlaws abortion, reflects a very early Christian understanding of what the totality of the Bible teaches. Abortion conflicts with the teachings Bible as a whole. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

Today’s decision was based on law. But interestingly, a 5-year research study revealed 95% of biologists from 1,058 academic institutions confirm that “a human’s life begins at fertilization.” See: https://t.co/xITa4vsaIg — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MattSmethurst: This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby. At just 20 weeks, she’s moving, turning her head, and kicking. Her beating heart is also visible. Human life is a miracle. https://t.co/KxTz8EdN9R — PolitiTweet.org

@ElvineBelinda Read my previous reply. While you're at it, read Jeremiah 1:5, Galatians 1:15, and Psalm 139:13-16. Not to mention Exodus 20:13. Your implied interpretation of Numbers 5:11-18 is greatly contested. But all religious teachings are IRRELEVANT to today's decision. Have a nice day. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda My point is simply that even if every religion in the world enthusiastically endorsed the slaughter of innocent unborn children, that would be irrelevant to today's decision. AGAIN -- read it. It's not based on any religious teaching but on Constitutional law. Roe was a mess. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda Again, this is a case of Constitutional law -- not religious teachings. The opinion doesn't touch on any religious claims. Its conclusion -- which is well-supported -- is that Roe was a judicial abomination that justice demands to be overturned. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda The Didache reflects early Christian ethical teachings. Though the word "abortion" isn't used, biblical teachings clearly prohibit killing the unborn. See the book THE CASE FOR LIFE for details. But importantly, today's decision is NOT based on religion but on LAW. Read it! — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@ElvineBelinda Christian teaching from the very first century specifically denounced abortion (see: The Didache). But above all, Roe was a legal abomination, which todays decision fully explains. Please read it. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@7blue_dragonfly Go read the decision and you’ll see why this statement doesn’t apply. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@liveletlive2005 This was not a religious ruling but a legal decision based on constitutional law. Please take the time to read it. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@lancemrodman Roe WAS precedent — a bad one. Also, the majority opinion goes out of its way to “emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right.” Take a breath. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@lancemrodman That is NOT the majority opinion. It states: “Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.” — PolitiTweet.org

@7blue_dragonfly This is not a question of free will. This is a constitutional and legal issue. Not a religious issue in the courts. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@7blue_dragonfly The decision was not made on religious grounds. It was decided on legal and constitutional grounds. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

@lancemrodman Read the decision. It specifically denies this talking point. — PolitiTweet.org

Lee Strobel @LeeStrobel

On all levels, Roe v Wade was an abomination. Thank God it was overturned today by a courageous court. Pray for safety of pro-life centers that are already being attacked by domestic terrorists. Now this becomes a state-by-state struggle for the lives of the unborn. — PolitiTweet.org

@Apologetics315 is forging a path ahead for Christian apologists. They're breaking virtual ground by supporting Christian thinkers who are tired of Youtube's censorship and shadow banning. Keep an eye on these guys. Check them out for yourself: https://t.co/m4SndPGTzG — PolitiTweet.org
