Greg Koukl answers a pro-abortion caller's question.

[Via Wintery Knight.]

This is a nice demonstration of the conversational tactics that Greg Koukl outlines in his book "Tactics."  

The issue - posed by a teacher - is "how can Koukl speak out against abortion unless he adopts every child who would be aborted." Koukl answers the question by pointing out that he has adopted two children out of crisis pregnancies and that her raises money for crisis pregnancy centers.  He then asks if that satisfies the caller.  It becomes clear that the caller would not be satisfied unless every last concern involved in rearing children was satisfied.  Koukl remains calm and polite throughout the discussion.  It's an extremely effective clip for highlighting the illogic of that particular trope.
