What Does “Pro-Life” Mean?

First impressions are important. When someone asks this question, you have an awesome opportunity to represent the whole pro-life movement. Don’t let this scare you. Focus on being respectful and you’ll do fine.

Explain the values at the heart of the pro-life position: equality, nonviolence, and human rights. Plainly say that you’re against abortion, but emphasize the positive values you support. Make it clear that you’re motivated by love for the preborn, and you want to help pregnant women.
