Questions:

  1. How and when did the pro-life movement become important to you?
  2. Your blog is called “Clear Pro-Life Thinking.” That must be in response to something you’ve witnessed – unclear, muddled pro-life thinking?
  3. Give me a few examples of poor arguments or thinking from the pro-life side.
  4. Tell me about the reasons women have abortions and why “bodily integrity” isn’t listed as one of the reasons.
  5. What is the appropriate response to bodily rights arguments?
  6. Talk about this weird pro-life habit that you call “Fetus Tunnel Vision.”
  7. What are your thoughts on the use of graphic pictures?
  8. What is the pro-life end game? What are you trying to accomplish?
  9. What would you say to politicians who say that they’re personally against abortion but it’s a religious issue so they won’t get involved?

Sitting in on Houston Baptist University‘s podcast was one of the highlights of this year. So grateful for the opportunity to discuss effective pro-life dialogue techniques with Dr. John Mark Reynolds and Cate MacDonald.

Download the podcast here, and subscribe to it while you’re at it. I’ve listened to about half of their archive in the last few weeks.

Questions:

  1. What do you mean when you say pro-lifers shouldn’t label others?
  2. Should we call anybody “pro abortion?”
  3. What would you call a pro-abortion person or abortionist to their face?
  4. What should pro-lifers be doing in dialogue?
  5. Why should we have dialogue with abortionists? Aren’t they completely wicked?
  6. Does loving our enemies mean we need to be wimpy?
  7. Isn’t this issue more urgent? Babies are dying and you’re sitting around engaging in dialogue?
  8. How are some pro-lifers weird and ineffectual?
  9. Should we start our conversations on the things we have in common?
  10. How many people do you meet on both sides who don’t base their opinions on arguments but on personal experiences?
  11. Do you see a lot of emotion in the pro-life cause that is functional, as opposed to dysfunctional?
  12. Who’s the best pro-life spokesperson from whom you’ve never gotten a check?
  13. Is this conversation so degenerate that the smart people on both sides aren’t given a chance to explain their views without using soundbites?
  14. What is a more complicated thing you would say if a radio show let you explain it without interruption?
