pro-life talking points

Equal Rights Institute equips everyday people to have smarter, kinder conversations that transform culture and save unborn lives. 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 people in the areas of practical dialogue tips, relational apologetics, pro-life philosophy, and sidewalk counseling.

We believe that the pro-life movement becoming more loving and thoughtful is a necessary (although not sufficient) condition to change our culture enough to end legal abortion. ERI strives to encourage gracious dialogue between pro-life and pro-choice people. We oppose name-calling and demonization of pro-choice people. We oppose cruelty to women and men that have histories with abortion. And, of course, we vehemently oppose any abortion-related violence, including violence against doctors that perform abortions, and attacks on their facilities.
