FReeper Needs Advice: How Can We Better Respond To Pro-Aborts?

[Mr. Silverback]

Sparta graciously gave me permission to post the text of this freepmail, which was sent to me from the "Pro-Life Families Complain About Group's Telemarketing Calls" thread:

This was going to be off topic, so I chose to freepmail you this instead.

I was debating abortion with my friends today. They were saying that abortion should be legal because children of poor parents would grow up in misery. Also, raped women would be too traumatized to carry their children. Also, teenage girls would have their lives ruined by caring for illegitmate children. I said that adoption would give the children a chance for life in the first two situations a better life and I said the teenage girls need to learn how to responsible. They then said that pro-lifers were just cruel and evil. How do I better respond to pro-abortion arguements?

You cannot respond to those who do not believe in God. Period.

To accept abortion you must believe that God does not exist, God does not care, or God is irrelevant.

Don't waste time with those who are pro-abort. Get the ones who think of the issue as irrelevant to themselves ( I used to be one) to get off the fence and take a side. There is no neutral in this issue, you are on one side or the other whether you realize it or not.
