No, I don't support mandated vasectomies or mandated tubal sterilization. I’m not interested in forcing people to get pregnant or not. I’m not pro-life because I want to control people’s bodies or punish people for sex. I just think once a human exists, it's wrong to kill them.

One of the most common pro-choice arguments is “don‘t like abortion, don‘t have one,” but that statement completely misses the point of our pro-life case. We don’t merely believe elective abortion is wrong for us individually. We believe elective abortion is wrong for everyone.

When you refer to a group of human beings as animals, you train your mind to be unempathetic towards them. When you train your mind to be unempathetic towards a group of people, you make it much easier to mistreat those people.

People 100% have rights to make choices about their own lives, but that doesn’t include choosing to kill someone else, especially someone who you put in that situation as a direct result of an action you willingly consented to. #endabortion

I am pro-life because we know the unborn are alive, because they’re growing. We know the unborn are human because they have human parents, and I think human beings like me and you are valuable.

If more than one person has misunderstood you about the same concept, that means it’s a really good candidate for a “Here’s what I don’t mean” clarification in the future.

There are many aspects to consider when weighing the moral gravity of a harmful act, and many of them would fall under a qualitative category of how much harm is being done to the victim or victims.

We're not interested in forcing people to get pregnant or to never get pregnant. We're not pro-life because we want to control people’s bodies or stop people from having sex. Being pro-life is all about being pro-equality and anti-violence against innocent people.

Don’t be so afraid of failing that you become paralyzed and don’t engage at all until you feel like you have something perfect.

We don’t need to defend the fact that there a lot of issues out there that involve innocent people being hurt. Human trafficking, teen bullying and racism are just a few of them. However, not all issues deserve equal amounts of resources.

It’s foolish and short-sighted to just blast people with the truth, with no thought to how they are going to respond to it.

It is very easy to go into an argument with your conclusion already decided, but doing this opens yourself up to self-deception. We encourage pro-life advocates to be open-minded, even about abortion.

We should never be rude, defensive, or confrontational, but being good at dialogue does not mean simply “being nice” either.

Your rights to your body are important but not absolute. Your rights to your body don't give you the right to literally KILL another human. If bodily autonomy doesn’t give you the right to kill another person in the case of conjoined twins, then it doesn’t in pregnancy either.

The pro-life position has absolutely nothing to do with "making women into baby factories." It has everything to do with not killing a human who already exists.

Bodily autonomy is incredibly important but doesn't give you the right to kill another person. If you thought bodily autonomy was trumped to protect others from potential illness (mask mandate), then bodily autonomy can DEFINITELY be trumped to prevent DIRECT killing in abortion.

Pro-choice people need to be told, challenged by, and sometimes even confronted with the truth. But we want to share the truth with them in the way that is most likely to get through to them, and sometimes that means being patient.

It's simple: it generally shouldn’t be legal to kill people and a fetus is a person with an equal right to life. Abortion should be illegal; it's a lethal act of violence against an innocent person. I'm saying “don’t kill," which is NOT the same as forcing someone to do something

Pro-choice slogans do not always give the full side or even the strongest side of any given pro-choice advocate’s position.

In every conversation you have, the person you're talking with should easily understand that you're both a gracious human being AND a careful thinker. If they can’t tell those things about you after a few minutes, then you're probably not doing a good job of communicating.

If your friend cares more about a certain issue than abortion, ask her about that issue she cares about. Join her at an event related to that issue and invite her to a local pro-life event as well. I think you’ll both learn a lot about both issues and become closer friends.
