Is abortion appropriate if the child’s parents wouldn’t be good parents?

This is a question pro-lifers are often asked, either by those who doubt their own ability to provide a high quality of life for a child, those who are unwilling to provide a high quality of life, or by those who are considering people struggling with addiction, homelessness, or other life circumstances which may compromise their ability to provide a high quality of life for a child. In today’s episode, host Cam addresses each of these scenarios, and walks through how we as pro-lifers can speak with charity and clarity into each circumstance.

Many pro-lifers have been told that pre-born children are simply parasites, leeching nutrients and energy from their mothers.

While it can be tempting to try and explain how the relationship between mother and child is not simply one-sided, in today’s episode, Cam explains how to address the underlying concerns which may be motivating abortion advocates, or simply those experiencing challenging pregnancies, to consider pre-born children to be parasites.

Building on the recent episode where Cam spoke to Trevor Polo from Protect Life Michigan, in today’s episode host Cam boils things down to a very simple approach for how to explain the use abortion victim imagery and photography to both abortion advocates and pro-lifers (spoiler alert, it’s different depending on who you’re talking to!).

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.

How do you end a conversation about abortion in a polite way that keeps the door open for further thought and reflection? That’s the topic of today’s PLG Podcast episode!

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.

00:00 Introduction

03:00 Why you might need to end your conversation

12:28 Step 1: Thank them for the conversation

12:57 Step 2: Agree upon an accurate and fair description of where the conversation is ending

15:33 Step 3: Explain the next step they need to take or what they need to reflect upon

17:25 Step 4: Why they need to continue thinking about abortion and resolving their worldview

25:45 Conclusion and Florida AAP summary

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.

Have you ever been well into a really good conversation with someone who supports abortion, only to have all the rapport and momentum you’ve built thwarted by a well-meaning, but poorly equipped pro-lifer who interupts you and says something less than ideal?

In today’s episode, Cam talks about how to handle situations in which pro-lifers who haven’t received CCBR’s training jump in to “help” you talk to an abortion advocate. Additionally, Cam talks about how to challenge the pro-lifers you meet to become more effective in their engagement methods to optimize their pro-life outreach.

Many of the justifications for abortions start with pro-life ambassadors challenging abortion advocates to consider the lives of pre-born children, yet when abortion advocates attempt to defend abortion seemingly out of compassion for pre-born children when parents are given a difficult pre-natal diagnosis, pro-lifers can feel as though the tables have been turned, and that they are now the ones not caring “enough” for pre-born children.

In today’s episode, Cam explores considerations around approaching these conversations, talks about a few common arguments that should actually be avoided, before talking about how common ground, analogies, and questions can and should be applied to help those we are speaking with understand that even in these situations, our compassion for a child can never lead us towards directly and intentionally ending their life.

Conversations about sensitive issues such as abortion almost always bring with them the dilemna of how direct can you be without either getting into a shouting match or else simply ending the conversation.

Thanks to this great question on one of the latest YouTube episodes, today Cam explores when and how you can be more direct and challenging in your conversations while mitigating the risk of blowing up your conversation.

I (Cam) very much apologize for the audio on this episode, there was a lot going on and I selected the wrong microphone! I’ll be back to my regular microphone next time and a huge shout out to Matty at SDG Media Inc. for dealing with this mess and making sound as good as he did!

For many pro-life ambassadors, we hear circumstances brought up in defense of abortion and immediately think of our own experiences, or those of people we know, and we want to share them to help those we are speaking with understand that even faced with daunting and seemingly impossible situations, there is hope.

In today’s episode, Cam shares how personal stories can be shared in our conversations so that they don’t come across as refutations or mere anecdotes, but rather true empathy and hope.
