In this quick response video, Emily Albrecht explains why the idea, commonly cited by pro-choice people, that just providing more birth control will end the perceived need for abortion is false.

Download MP3 – 37:54
While at our AirBnb in Washington, D.C. we filmed a set of podcasts with Emily, Jacob, and Meredith Maloley. Meredith helped Emily run the pro-life club at St. Olaf, and now volunteers as an ERI Club Coach and works at a Pregnancy Resource Center.
In this episode they discuss (and refute) the most common myths that organizations like NARAL and Planned Parenthood spread about pregnancy centers. They then finish by talking about the most helpful (and least helpful) things pro-lifers can do to help PRCs.

I’m excited to share with you an actual email exchange I’ve been having with a very thoughtful pro-choice person named Chloe, with her permission. The conversation is ongoing, so we’ll continue to add to this post as the exchange continues. The content has only been lightly edited for clarity, and Chloe has had the chance to remove any personal information from the posts. Other than that, you’re seeing the full exchange. Thanks to Andrew and Emily who have helped edit my responses during the exchange.

In this Quick Response video, Emily Albrecht explains why that’s a red herring and how to respond to it, as well as explaining a bit about the “consistent life ethic”/”seamless garment” position.
