How Do I Talk To Someone Who Is Pro-Abortion?
Many prochoice people believe in abortion because it is the
womans right to do so. Even if they admit that a pregnant woman
is carrying a baby, they still feel the woman’s
right to choose (abortion) trumps the baby’s right to live.
How can you have a conversation with someone who believes
this? It seems impossible. But I believe there is a way to at least
open dialogue with a person who is pro-choice (pro-abortion).
You can start by asking “Why do you think women need
abortion?” Whatever they say, you can answer with: Are you
aware of the ill-effects on women from abortion? Ill-effects
include things such as: feelings of guilt, depression, substance
abuse, suicidal thoughts, infertility and even death. Arm yourself
with facts by visiting the Elliot Institute at http://www.
afterabortion.org/
Follow up with “ Do you think that’s good for women ?”
Make the statement “Abortion is not good for women”.
If you have personal experience with abortion you can follow up
with explaining how abortion has hurt you, your sister, your
daughter, your wife, your friend. Giving a real life example goes a
long way.
You can also mention the link between breast cancer and
abortion. For more information go to http://www.
abortionbreastcancer.com/start/
Follow up with “wouldn’t it be better if we worked together
to find solutions for women who are in an unintended
pregnancy that will help them rather than hurt them ?”
This conversation may last several weeks, months or even years
but it is a way to open dialogue, start talking and not scream and
yell at each other.
Pro-abortion people claim to be pro-woman. If you meet them on
those terms by talking about women, you can make progress.
Changing hearts one at time is the goal.

"As heavy as the weight of death
you bear, especially the death of
your own unborn baby, life itself is
stronger...As painful as your
abortion is, forgiveness will bring
you freedom and peace."
