Veggie Tales Creator Phil Vischer Gets Torched For Comments on Abortion ‘Nuance’
As Megan Basham’s new book continues to ruffle feathers among bigEVA elites, some of her targets have started to respond and peck away at her plucking, no matter how tangentially the mention. Enter Phil Vhischer. In a post on Twitter, he scolds her for even the suggestion that he’s called Christians to have more nuance around abortion, referencing a video that “we” (He and Skye Jethani) made about abortion and whether overturning Roe v. Wade would reduce abortions (before it was) where they argue that it wouldn’t.
We last wrote about the VeggieTales creator and Holy Post podcast host he criticized a conservative TV network for not featuring LBGTQ characters in films, compared Christians who oppose legal same-sex marriage to ‘confederate theologians’, and refuses to publicly condemn same-sex marriage, all the while doing so in a smarmy voice that would make even Andy Stanley jealous.
This is on top of knocking creationists as a bunch of dummies, crediting his white privilege for the success of his show, claiming he didn’t know there were such things black Christians until he was an adult, getting upset at Christians for opposing LGBTQ, and most recently coming out as pro-choice.
Does anyone really believe he thinks Christians need to be less nuanced on abortion? Or that Christians are sufficiently nuanced? Far from it! Nuance is what Vischer is known for advocating on this topic, and has many times before.
And, of course, his nuanced comments about the occasional need for abortion and the exceptions that should exist.
