DEFENDING THE TRUTH A Lesson in Pro Life Apologetics

Your peers and your community may also suffer post-abortion grief, struggle with end-of-life issues regarding a relative or friend, or be in a crisis pregnancy. PrayKnow your audienceKnow your facts Over 1 million abortions are performed each year in the United States. From the moment of conception, there is a distinct, living and whole human being. The preborn human heart is beating by the third week. Abortion hurts women, children, and families.

“I have no position on abortion. It’s complicated.” By failing to oppose abortion, you tacitly support it. What would you say to those Americans who did nothing to oppose slavery or Germans who did nothing to oppose concentration camps? “I am personally pro-life, but I do not want to impose my beliefs on others.” This means you personally believe that the unborn are human and that abortion kills the unborn, but that you will not tell others not to kill other humans. Will you then refrain from imposing your beliefs about theft, rape, etc on others? Moral Neutrality is not Possible

Only One Essential Question What are the unborn?

The only differences between that zygote or embryo and you today are: Are large people more valuable than small people? Are short people less valuable than tall people? Are infants or 4 year olds or 23 year olds less valuable than 40 year olds? Are 80 year olds more or less valuable than 10 year olds? SIZELEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTDEGREE OF DEPENDENCY Are those who depend on insulin or feeding tubes less valuable than others? Since infants cannot survive without relying on others for food, are they less valuable than children? Does changing location make someone valuable?

“The revelation of the Gospel of life is given to us as a good to be shared with all people.... Our own joy would not be complete if we failed to share this Gospel with others but kept it only for ourselves.” Evangelium Vitae n. 101.

Speak the truth with compassion. Pray and let the Holy Spirit speak through you. Tough Questions

“First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.” - Rev. Martin Niemöller
