Author's Note: The following column is based on a new book, The Faith: Given Once, For All, by Charles Colson and Harold Fickett.

Pay attention, people; the following column is not only trite, poorly-written, and filled with factual inaccuracies of the sort that could be pointed out by a bright eighth grader, but also cribbed somewhat from the ravings of a Watergate felon and some other guy who may or may not be a felon. That's fine; I'll crib my responses from the Bible.

But, of course, for feminists, the debate on abortion involves more than just the question of when life begins. It also involves the question of whether there is a right to life once it begins. Fortunately, our Founding Fathers settled that issue long ago by stating the following:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

That this view of the sanctity of life was inspired by the Bible is now lost among many self-proclaimed liberals.

Much of that has to do with the work of propagandists like Christopher Hitchens – a man who asserts falsely that Christians supported slavery until it became unprofitable.

"There is not one verse in the Bible inhibiting slavery, but many regulating it. It is not then, we conclude, immoral." Rev. Alexander Campbell

The Apostle Paul wrote in Galations 3:28 that "there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This is a quote that planted a seed of sedition in Western culture, which makes it so easy to understand why Wilberforce did what he did. It also makes it difficult to understand the fierce anti-Christian rhetoric and actions of those who claim to be "liberals" and "human rights activists."

Ex.21:20-21 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

Before the Bible was written, women were deemed inferior to men throughout the world – just as they are today throughout the Islamic World.

Exodus 21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
