What's a good question to ask an anti- Abortion Christian protestor?

[Anonymous]

There are a couple of Christian anti Abortion protestors who hang around the centre of town most days ( they obviously have nothing better to do)

What's a good question i can ask them that they won't be able to answer back? If they try and change the topic i'll keep going back to that question.

If your question is just meant to shut them up it seems silly. And most questions like that they probably get a lot anyway.

What I think is actually conducive is the key question of "When is it a baby?". Most people do not feel that an egg or sperm on their own is a baby. Or that a baby is instantly formed on contact. Which means there is room for discussion.

To me it is not, and never was, a question of if abortion is allowed but under what circumstance and how far along.

I just dont get why the right put so much energy into focusing on abortion, when they dont care about the majority of people who are struggling day to day.

Not going to touch US politics with a pole. Again, discussing when a baby is formed and when we consider it alive seems sensible. Focusing on left/right does not. Who cares where a good idea comes from if the idea remains good?

You could ask, "What's wrong with killing an innocent child when a baby would be inconvenient for the parents? Isn't that a good reason?"

They'll have a stock answer to every question and most of them will be nonsense anyway. No matter what you say.

You could ask about the abortion recipe in the Bible, the bitter waters husbands force women to drink if they suspect cheating.

Or ask why the law should be changed to fit their religion in a mulifaith country. Effectively its like Muslims demanding shops stop selling beer or bacon.

Got one for you. It’s God telling Samuel. “I knew you before I formed you in the womb.” That’s biblical
