Persuasive Pro Life: How to Talk about Our Culture's Toughest Issue

by Trent Horn

Here are some questions Wagner considers to be the most helpful when trying to find common ground on the issue of abortion. 1. “What do you think about late-term abortions?” (If you think they should be illegal, then where would you draw the line? Why did you pick that stage of development to outlaw abortions?) 2. “Do you believe men should have the choice to abort their fetuses?” (Do you think men should be charged with the murder of a human being if they kill a pregnant woman’s fetus? Do you think the punishment should change if the fetus was unwanted? 3. “What do you think about aborting a fetus simply because she is female?” (Do you think a feminist can support abortion against female fetuses?) 4. “Would you prefer there were fewer abortions?” (Why? What is it about abortion that you find unpleasant?) 5. Should abortion be legal through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason? (If not, why not? Where do you think the cutoff should be, and why do you draw the line there?)
