ERI is dedicated to equipping the pro-life movement to argue intelligently, honestly, and persuasively about abortion. We teach relational dialogue tips and the top pro-life arguments in blog articles, videos, podcasts, and our two full-length courses. Our goal isn’t just to help you win a debate, but to show you how to help pro-choice people change their mind. We provide responses to the toughest pro-choice arguments, based in questions of personhood, bodily autonomy, and self-defense, and we treat pro-choice people with respect by responding to the strongest version of their arguments.
You can be a more confident and gracious pro-life advocate; we’re here to help.
Equipped for Life Academy is a unique pro-life curriculum for religious high school students, designed as a unit for any Christian school course, church youth group, homeschool class, or confirmation class. Our curriculum is formulated to fit state education standards and has been carefully crafted to engage students regardless of their current stance on abortion: “pro-life,” “pro-choice,” “I don’t know,” or “I don’t want to talk about it.”
With Equipped for Life Academy, you can move students from knowing they’re supposed to be pro-life to understanding the pro-life position so well that they can confidently defend it and live it throughout their lives.
