About Me
- Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D.
- Nothing on this blog represents the position of Denver Seminary. I am a Christian, philosopher, teacher, writer, and preacher, who is Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary. My most recent of my twelve books is Philosophy in Seven Sentences. My magnum opus is Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (InterVarsity Press, 2011). I have published ten others, including Truth Decay and On Jesus. I direct the Christian Apologetics and Ethics MA program at Denver Seminary.

Why is this?
Some suggestions:
1. Christians (and Muslims and Mormons) seem to be the only ones having big families anymore. Christian families will (hopefully) teach a pro-life view. When non-Christians show negative population growth from not having many kids and Christian, pro-life teaching families have two or more kids, over time this has to tip the scales somewhat.
2. Could it be that all the attention Obama's radical pro-choice views have garnered have contributed to more conversations being had and more pro-choice views being challenged? I know it has certainly caused me to be increasingly more vocal than I used to be.
3. Sadly, I think this reason could be more telling. Before the election, I talked to many people who would identified themselves as pro-life Christians who also told me they were voting for Obama. So simply because people say they are pro-life doesn't mean that we are on our way to having it be legally banned.
I am encouraged, but cautious.
