Viral video: News veteran Brit Hume offers a “moral case for defending life”

Brit Hume on the Moral Case for Defending Life

It was less than 250 words, but it has riveted a nation on the issue of life. Former White House correspondent and news veteran Brit Hume offered a commentary on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade which managed to capture the heart of the issue of life in a minute and a half. The video has already received over 140,000 views, and the number is growing.

Hume, a reporter since even before the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, offered an indictment against the ruling last week on the 41st anniversary of legalized abortion in the nation. He said:

Taking the court and the pro-choice culture to task, Hume addresses what he calls the euphemisms of the pro-abortion advocates:

Sometimes the simplest words are the most powerful. It took Hume only 249 words and a minute and a half of airtime to summarize the heart of the issue of abortion – that it steals life from a living person, and that science proves this to be a fact. After his commentary, he predicts that soon, Americans will realize the deception, and the culture of death will shift, no matter what euphemisms anyone offers for this killing.
