“If we can redefine marriage as between two men or two women or any other way based on social pressures as opposed to between a man and a woman, we will continue to redefine it in any way that we wish, which is a slippery slope with a disastrous ending, as witnessed in the dramatic fall of the Roman Empire.” IfsMenWayTwoFallWishSocialPressureDramaticEmpiresRoman EmpireSlipperySlopesSlippery SlopeSocial Pressure Author:Benjamin Carson
“As a child walking over a slippery and dangerous path cries out, "Father, I am falling!" and has but a moment to catch his father's hand, so every believer sees hours when only the hand of Jesus comes between him and the abysses of destruction.” ChildrenMomentsHandsFallFatherJesusChristHoursPathDangerousCryWalkingDestructionBelieverAbyssSlippery Author:Theodore L.

“In the specific case of abortion, the matter is particularly easy in that no woman wants a late abortion. Once abortion was made legal, the age of the aborted fetus went down. The slope slipped in the other direction. If we legalize RU-486 and other similar new drugs, the age will fall to one week or less and start approaching zero. The slippery slope will slide in the other direction. The only reason we have late abortions is because we make early abortion difficult.” IfsWantMadeMatterReasonAgeFallEasyDifficultCasesWeekAtheismDrugLateAbortionZeroSlidesWomen WantSlipperySlopesFetusSlippery Slope Author:Garrett Hardin
