## Resource

When it comes to the issue of abortion, politicians tend to lose their collective minds by attempting to personalize objective moral facts as if they were choosing a favorite flavor of ice cream. Scott Klusendorf analyzes the strategic blunder of using "personally pro-life" language, a tactic that gives away the farm by shifting the debate from an objective truth claim to a mere subjective preference. Learn why moral claims must remain grounded in objective reality rather than personal sentiments on this episode of The Case for Life.
