Tony Campolo argues that the Biblical phrase “the breath of life” (as when God breathes “the breath of life” into Adam) means that a baby is NOT ALIVE UNTIL IT TAKES ITS FIRST BREATH. Therefore abortion is okay.

Is it necessary to elaborate on what is wrong with this idiotic, demonic argument?

I’ve heard some rabbinical authorities contend the same thing.

It means that Adam was not alive until he took his first breath ... he was lifeless ... an unborn child is obviously not lifeless. Campolo is a false teacher ... period.
