## Resource

The worldview premises that make abortion plausible to our fellow citizens didn't emerge in the 1960s—they're rooted in centuries of philosophical shifts, from the Enlightenment's fact-value split to today's outright rejection of human dignity. Scott Klusendorf traces this history through Nietzsche, Oxford's Bodleian Library, and the patient legislative work of abolitionists like Wilberforce and Lincoln, showing why real cultural change takes prudence, not impatience. Discover why understanding this history matters for defending life today on this episode of The Case for Life.
