Tip #1
Jen Westmoreland
Principle #4
“I think we should accurately describe other people’s positions because it demonstrates that we care enough about them and their views to try to understand them. We should love the people we’re talking to and not just see them as an object, a mind to be changed. We should also be confident enough in our position to not be too intimidated to learn about pro-choice arguments and respond to them in their strongest form.”

Principle #3
“I want to encourage you to start thinking seriously about the impact you want to have in your lifetime. You will make the greatest impact on the people you’re friends with, not the people you occasionally spar with on Facebook. If that’s true, you’d be crazy to not desire friendships with atheists.”

Josh Brahm will be speaking on understanding and responding to “My Body, My Choice” at Miami University on September 6, 2018.
Many conversations surrounding abortion focus on the personhood of the unborn, but the strongest pro-choice arguments grant the entire pro-life case that the unborn is a full human being. They go on to claim that abortion should still be legal because women have a right to control their own bodies. Josh Brahm will explain how a comprehensive discussion about abortion needs to address more than just the humanity and personhood of the fetus, but also a woman’s right to her own bodily autonomy as it relates to pregnancy.
Speaker: Josh Brahm, President, Equal Rights Institute
