The previous audio blog, “Fetus Tunnel Vision: 4 Reasons Pro-Lifers Need to Stop Doing This,” was a relatively controversial piece that I wrote about 5 years ago. Some people loved it, some hated it, and some had really good questions. I ended up writing 2 follow-up pieces responding to the concerns and questions I was seeing as I publicly engaged people on this issue. This is the first.

In this episode of the Equipped for Life Course Podcast, Tim, Rachel, and I continue a multi-part series on how to be an effective pro-life advocate on social media. We give 12 more practical tips.

Here at ERI we like to help pro-life people not be weird. About 5 years ago, a Students for Life staff person reached out to me asking for an example of a weird thing pro-life people do. The first thing that came to my mind was what we call fetus tunnel vision.
This was something I had been thinking about for years. In the first several years after 9/11, every time the anniversary came around I would see a lot of pro-life people posting on social media comparing the number of people who died on 9/11 to the number of babies aborted every day. This article and the following in the series explain why this is a bad idea.

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
This event has been sponsored by Miami University Students for Life of America (MUSFLA)
