When C.S. Lewis first published The Screwtape Letters in 1942, legal abortion was still decades away—though it’s not hard to imagine how Screwtape and his cadre of demonic tempters would have salivated at the prospect.

The caveat: his baby was a 6-week embryo at the time of death, killed via medical abortion.
