Persuasive Pro-Life

Questions Covered:

  • 05:10 - How do we talk to people about defending the lives of those on death row?
  • 12:20 - If God is sovereign, why would the fetus be born in the first place if he knows they’re going to hell?
  • 19:18 - How would you respond to someone that says, “A fetus is an innocent aggressor, therefore killing it is justified”?
  • 31:15 - One of the arguments from pro-choice people is the verse in the bible that states that the soul enters the child’s body at some point in the middle of pregnancy. They argue that abortion is ok up until that point. How would you respond to that?
  • 36:04 - How do you respond to someone that says that since the heartbeat starts at 6 weeks, it should be ok to stop it before that point?
  • 43:46 - Do we know if aborted babies go to heaven?
  • 47:55 - With so many self-esteem issues, how do you explain the value of life to someone that doesn’t think they should live? Since they don’t think their life has value, they also don’t see the value of a fetus in the womb.
  • 52:00 - I have a friend who was previously pro-life and then had the potential of becoming pregnant and switched to being pro-choice. I ended up pushing her away with my reaction to her viewpoint. What are some of your thoughts on how to keep your emotions out of conversations on this topic?
