Episode 66 - Abortion and the Texas heartbeat bill

In this short episode, Matthew addresses comments made in a recent episode of Unbelievable? where two Christians discussed abortion. The show was a good example of two people disagreeing (mostly) with grace, but several comments made by the anti abortion participant needed addressing.
