While following the road map and having productive conversations can be quite manageable and straight-forward when you're only talking to one or two people at a time, things can get a lot more complicated when you're talking to a large group of people (especially high school students) who all have different questions. Often, pro-lifers end up answering countless questions, only to have the end-of-lunch bell ring and realize that while they bridged the gap really well 100 times, they didn't...

Are vasectomies really the answer to the abortion crisis?!?! For many, the answer is an obvious, "No!", yet many pro-lifers continue to hear this while doing outreach, not to mention the number of media personalities who claim that if all men would just have vasectomies, children would no longer enter the world through unwanted pregnancies, and therefore the abortion crisis would vanish (along with the human species...). #prolife #prolifegeneration #howto #howtotalkaboutabortion In today's...

Pro-life ambassadors often ask me whether they should start their conversations by addressing the hard circumstances and other justifications surrounding pregnancy, or whether they should dive straight into talking about the humanity of pre-born children, and I really (really, really, really) think you should start by addressing the circumstances and justifications underlying their support of abortion, rather than starting with the humanity of pre-born children, central though it is to the...

Some times when you are talking to an abortion advocate it becomes clear that they will not becoming fully pro-life (and maybe not even more pro-life) before the end of your conversation with them. Maybe they need to reflect upon the question of whether we can solve problems by killing humans, maybe they need to research when human life begins, maybe they need to consider whether they are comfortable discriminating human rights based on a human's age or ability. Whatever the reason, we must...
