ABOUT ERI

Equal Rights Institute trains pro-life advocates to think clearly, reason honestly, and argue persuasively.

We’ve tested our arguments during thousands of conversations in order to create innovative pro-life apologetics that will register with everyday pro-choice people. Our relational approach helps our students refute the toughest pro-choice arguments while loving the pro-choice person in front of them.

We use speaking, writing, YouTube videos, podcasts, online courses, and campus outreach to train pro-life advocates in the areas of practical dialogue tips, relational apologetics, pro-life philosophy, and sidewalk counseling.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

This blog is focused on helping pro-life people be “more persuasive and less weird” when they communicate with pro-choice people. We also write about relational apologetics, because we believe that some pro-choice people will not change their mind after a Facebook debate or a conversation on a college campus; they’ll only change their mind because their friend persuaded them.

If you are pro-life and want practical tips for having effective dialogues with pro-choice people, this blog is for you. If you’re pro-choice and you want to explore pro-life ideas without being called names or having your arguments simplified, you will enjoy this blog, as many other pro-choice people do.

SPEAKING

We engage in platform speaking events across the country to spread practical dialogue tips, rigorous philosophy, and relational apologetics. These include speaking events at universities, conferences, churches, and pregnancy center banquets, as well as 1-2 day seminars. As of July 2026, we have spoken to 41,660 people at 357 speeches and 44 seminars in four countries and 28 states since ERI began in 2014!
