Training Pro-Life Advocates to Think Clearly, Reason Honestly, and Argue Persuasively

Introducing Equal Rights Institute

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 Now Available!

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.

LATEST VIDEO: Political Activism in a Post-Roe World (w/ Ali Rak)

Josh Brahm and Emily Geiger welcome Ali Rak back to the Equipped for Life Podcast to discuss pro-life political activism, now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned. Much has changed since 2020 when Ali was last on the podcast, and the main focus of this episode includes an analysis of why the pro-life movement was caught so flat-footed after Dobbs, including the poor performance on state initiatives, the abortion lobby’s gained momentum, and the generally lackluster support from pro-life politicians.

One Thing Every Pastor Can Do to Prevent Abortions in Their Congregation
