Pro-lifers are confronted with a wide variety of justifications for abortion, and for many of us, we are tempted to either refute them by explaining why their justification is illogical, or to try and resolve the challenges brought forth.

In today's episode, host Cam talks about why we should avoid refuting altogether in an effort to win people while being pro-life ambassadors, and why we should be wary of trying to resolve problems before working through the foundational principle that we cannot kill humans to solve problems.

While many pro-lifers (and even many abortion advocates) have come to accept and embrace the public display of abortion victim images, there are still at least some who question the strategy, asking questions about the impact abortion victim images have on one's worldview, on their likelihoood of supporting various forms of legislation, and most often the impact showing these images have on people's perception of the pro-life movement.

In today's episode, Cam sits down with Trevor Polo from Protect Life Michigan to review and discuss comprehensive polling PLMi has recently conducted to answer the questions mentioned above.

With thousands of babies being saved because of Texas' new abortion legislation, SNL decided it was time to try and make a mockery of it all. They failed miserably. Dressed as a clown and being as unfunny as possible, Cecily Strong makes some absurd claims during this recent sketch, like the idea that women need abortion access to pursue great opportunities and that illegal abortion means we will see a spike in dead women found in dark alleys, leaving us wondering if anyone could possibly nod along with this sketch that screams of underlying pain and brokenness. We talk about these and other claims and show how we can respond to them with compassion and with truth. This is the brutal comedy of SNL.

We've done episodes in how to start conversations about abortion, and usually most episodes feature strategies for keeping conversations going, but what if you need to end a conversation, either because you need to get back to work or school, or simply because you've reached an impass in conversation that requires personal reflection?

In today's episode, host Cam talks through several reasons why you may need to end a conversation about abortion, before walking through the four steps necessary for ending a conversation so that the person you're speaking with continues to think towards the pro-life worldview.

Fathers are almost entirely ignored in the abortion conversation, and while many view abortion as a perverted "get out of jail free" card, Marlon Bartram is quite the opposite.

A recent study published in Scientific American suggests that since the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in 2022 via the Dobbs decision, approximately 59,000 women have become pregnant through sexual assault in states where abortion is illegal regardless of the circumstances of the child's conception.

In light of this study, many pro-lifers are conflicted in their response, suggesting that these numbers must be somehow inflated or even else wondering if these laws might be illadvised. In today's episode, Cam talks through the crisis of sexual assault in our world, the need for greater protection for women, and tragically the urgent support for victims in today's society, before ending on how pro-lifers should compassionately communicate our shared conviction that these heinous crimes must be stopped, punished, and responded to in ways that support the victims, yet in ways which do not include killing the innocent child conceived through these brutal attacks.
