Even if abortion is outlawed tomorrow, the pro-life community will still have a lot of work to do.

Person 1: If abortion is outlawed, women will die in unsafe, illegal abortions. Person 2 (our hero): I’m concerned about this too. Abortion is worse when the mother dies. But I’d say abortion is never safe, since I value the mother and fetus equally.

Person 1: I don’t like the idea of the government forcibly preventing the women who want abortions from getting them. Person 2 (our hero): Neither do I. I wish it never came to that. I want everyone to reject abortion out of love and respect for the preborn.

Person 1: What if a mother’s life is in danger? Person 2 (our hero): The mother and child are equally valuable. In some situations doctors should give the mother life-saving treatment even if it results in the unintended, tragic death of the child. Let’s talk about a specific example.

Person 1: I’m pro-choice because I care about women’s health. Person 2 (our hero): I want people to get the healthcare they need, too. But I think the mother and fetus are both patients who deserve care.
