As Megan Basham’s new book continues to ruffle feathers among bigEVA elites, some of her targets have started to respond and peck away at her plucking, no matter how tangentially the mention. Enter Phil Vhischer. In a post on Twitter, he scolds her for even the suggestion that he’s called Christians to have more nuance around abortion, referencing a video that “we” (He and Skye Jethani) made about abortion and whether overturning Roe v. Wade would reduce abortions (before it was) where they argue that it wouldn’t.
We last wrote about the VeggieTales creator and Holy Post podcast host he criticized a conservative TV network for not featuring LBGTQ characters in films, compared Christians who oppose legal same-sex marriage to ‘confederate theologians’, and refuses to publicly condemn same-sex marriage, all the while doing so in a smarmy voice that would make even Andy Stanley jealous.
This is on top of knocking creationists as a bunch of dummies, crediting his white privilege for the success of his show, claiming he didn’t know there were such things black Christians until he was an adult, getting upset at Christians for opposing LGBTQ, and most recently coming out as pro-choice.
Does anyone really believe he thinks Christians need to be less nuanced on abortion? Or that Christians are sufficiently nuanced? Far from it! Nuance is what Vischer is known for advocating on this topic, and has many times before.
And, of course, his nuanced comments about the occasional need for abortion and the exceptions that should exist.

Don’t react without following the train of thought...
Aborting from the begining was simply a tool to prepare for the actual murder of children.
Drop. Drop. Drop.
Or, as the frog said when it was too late, “My, it’s hot in here.”
This is the level of depravity granted to mothers now.
I really think many women no longer value children...in the womb or out.... and value abortion above all.
I honestly believe many men have been dulled within thier hearts and beat down in thier psyche and no longer have the strength to take really hard stands.
There can be nothing softly said about abortion.
Last time I look to vegetables for my theology.
I believe a medical solution is around the corner where men could benefit from a birth control solution for them. This solution would be part of the solution. The big one is sexually transmitted diseases. Such can actually cause infertility for women. There should be self-tests that would indicate infection like they had for COVID. That way a woman could benefit. STDs, like gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and genital herpes, can pass from the mother to the baby as the baby passes through the birth canal. HIV can cross the placenta during pregnancy and infect the baby before delivery.
I actually paused, read the article, and considered what Phil had to say.
I do not agree with everything he says. But I do agree with his “nuanced” approach to abortion. Sometimes it is OK to abort a baby to save the life of the mother, during an ectopic pregnancy, for example. That abortion *is* taking a life, but in self-defense. Difficult decision.
That goes for me too.
Phil Vischer is a heretic.
Sounds like something Joe Biden would say in a debate.
> > > Sometimes it is OK to abort a baby to save the life of the mother, during an ectopic pregnancy, for example
That has always been the stand taken by the mainstream pro-life movement.

I take very hard stands.
I don’t have a lot of friends, but there’s a healthy fear most people have up here.
Apparently, Phil looks to fruits for his theology.
The only justification I’ve found for abortion in the Bible is adultery. Numbers 5: 11-28 gives instructions for a priest to induce miscarriage in a pregnant woman suspected of adultery.
Exposing the heretics within the church is crucial.
Don't worry Andy Stanley - you're old news...
Agreed.
"Sounds like something Joe Biden would say in a debate."
LOL! I should have said: This solution would only be part of the solution.
Ending an ectopic ‘pregnancy’ isn’t really abortion. If the fetus doesn’t implant in the uterus, there is literally zero chance it can survive. Similar to cracking an egg at the grocery store. No matter what you do, that egg will never be a chicken.
If that egg is fertilized, it’s inevitably going to grow. Removing that fertilized egg, some might argue, is in fact an abortion.
Some might argue that, but only because they are biologically illiterate. When did public discourse become hostage to the opinions of the ignorant?
“... biologically illiterate.”
And with that phrase, you lost the argument, and lost my attention.
