Caroline Wharton | September 27, 2021
Abortion has become America’s hottest topic for discussion on campuses, in communities, and in politics. With Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health being heard by the Supreme Court this year, it is a critical time to reach people about the humanity of the preborn.

Why “I’m Personally Pro-Life, But…” Isn’t Good Enough
Brenna Lewis | September 22, 2021
Growing up in the evangelical Christian bubble of Northern Ireland in the 90s, I was well aware of what abortion was, even before I knew where babies came from. The essence of a pro-life argument is easy for a child to grasp. Babies are humans, killing a human is wrong because all life is valuable, no matter how small

My older daughter, Emily, at 8 weeks’ gestation: “BABY.” If you’ve ever debated abortion, you’ve probably noticed it’s nearly impossible to discuss the actual topic. Instead, the exchange rapidly devolves into accusations—often, that you’re using inaccurate terminology. This irate doctor’s tweet is
It’s Not Pro-Lifers Who Are Controversial – It’s Abortion
Brenna Lewis | June 30, 2021
The majority of the population is not a fan of controversy or confrontation. In psychological circles, “conflict avoidance” is the lexicon for people who prefer to go with the status quo and not ruffle feathers. Being confrontational may go against many of our sensibilities in the pro-life movement… but we must embrace controversy if we want to abolish abortion. Confrontation
