Thabiti Anyabwile responds to a piece comparing abortion and slavery.
One way in which we can love our neighbor as ourself is to be “quick to hear” but “slow to speak” (James 1:19). So it would be wise to be eager to hear Thabiti’s perspective on this, and the way in which a legitimate argument can be presented in a counterproductive way.
Here’s his conclusion:
I love you. But I’m afraid you don’t love me . . . at least not long enough to hear how your comparison affects me. I’m in the trenches with you–at least I want to be–but the shrapnel from your rapid fire makes it hard for me to fire with you.
I encourage you to read the whole thing.
