Understanding What Richard Dawkins Actually Believes About Abortion and Down Syndrome
Several years ago, Richard Dawkins tweeted something that became very controversial and blew up in pro-life and pro-choice circles. He was attempting to explain why, given the choice, he would abort a baby with Down Syndrome. Dawkins published a very helpful article the following day, apologizing and explaining his views more clearly.
This audio blog is a piece Josh wrote attempting to help pro-life people better understand where he is coming from as well as how better to refute his argument. We think trying to get into Dawkins’ shoes will be a good exercise because if we’re going to refute a bad idea, we really need to understand it first. We need to refute the strongest version of an argument if we’re going to offer the strongest possible refutation.
