For a lot of people who oppose abortion, the last several years have been really discouraging. There are more abortions than ever, abortion conversations are more divisive than ever, and some of the loudest voices calling themselves pro-life are pretty ugly and have done real damage to the movement’s credibility. Some people wonder whether their side’s own methods have made things worse instead of better, and have given up on working toward a more life-affirming culture at all. Others keep trying, but feel like they’re banging their heads against a wall, no one is listening, and the needle isn’t moving. Sometimes it seems like there’s no principled way to make real progress changing hearts and minds about abortion. But there is. At ERI, we’ve seen our fresh approach work over and over again, in thousands of conversations. We’ve seen genuine mutual respect and understanding form between pro-life and pro-choice people, we’ve seen people’s perspectives start to shift, and we’ve seen pro-choice people fully change their minds. We’re on a mission to equip people like you to cultivate the same kind of loving, culture-transforming conversations.
