Three of the most common objections to the pro-life position are… Abortion is a woman’s private choice. Even if a fetus is human, it’s not a person. And, if you ban abortion, women will be forced to get dangerous, back-alley abortions that are medically unsafe. What would you say? These arguments are known as the …
You’re in a conversation and someone says, “Pro-lifers just want to force their religious views on everyone else. They don’t really have a good reason to oppose abortion.” What would you say? Dismissing opposition to abortion as religious ideology is intellectually lazy. There are rational arguments against abortion, and those who oppose abortion make them …
You’re in a conversation and someone says, “Late-term abortions are rare and only done when the mother’s life is at risk. If we limit late-term abortions, we’ll only be hurting women. What would you say? Abortion-advocacy groups often claim that late-term abortions are exceedingly rare. In fact, since 91 percent of all abortions …

We shouldn’t use the federal government to impose our beliefs on others.” What would you say? Many people say they don’t “like” abortion, but they don’t think it should be illegal. It’s important to realize …

Abortion is morally troubling, but labeling it as health makes it easier to defend as a practice. But that doesn’t make the label accurate. The next time you hear someone say that abortion …
Continuing in our “man-on-the-street” interviews, Joseph Backholm asks Women’s Marchers these questions about abortion. Is choice for a mother a motivating issue for you? Why is abortion an important issue for you? Do you see abortion as a necessary evil or a moral good? Is the fetus a person?
Joseph Backholm went to the March for Life in Washington D.C. to interview marchers attending the event. In this video he asks marchers, “What is the worst thing about abortion?”
You’re in a conversation about abortion and someone says “abortion should be legal because a woman should never be forced to carry the child of her rapist.” What would you say? Let’s be clear. Rape is awful. Rape is evil. Those who commit rape deserve to be punished. Victims of rape deserve compassion and care. …

If someone said this to you, “What Would You Say?” Artificial reproductive technologies …
