How to Win a Pro-Life Debate



The video "I'm Pro-Life, Change My Mind" contains lots of helpful information to make a compelling pro-life argument. The video itself is a bit long, so let me break it down for you...

Define Terms

The first thing that you should do is define terms.
"This is actually very important when discussing an issue to find out what your terms are, to define them, so you're both understanding issues," Crowder explained.
At this point, it's advantageous to get your opponent on your side. Finding a common ground on something can help. 

Answer Important Questions

Next you should explore the most important questions. 
"What determines a life? When does life begin?" 
Steven Crowder stated life starts at conception. He justified it by saying "After conception, there's a unique genetic code."

Be Careful of Victim Status

"Anytime someone comes up who's really hardcore against our view point, they have invariably set up some kind of victim status." He added "they use it because when they feel their agrument is on shakey ground (or their position), they revert back to it."

Answers to Counter Pro-Abortion Arguments

It's Not My Decision

You can take a moral stand about something that doesn't affect you directly. In fact, standing up and fighting for tiny humans that can't defend themselves is nobel.  

A great example from the video is "I'm against slavery. I think that it's bad, but if someone else makes that decision, I have no right to judge their right to choose slavery." 

Well My Opinion Is...

"Someone's opinion on an issue doesn't change what it is. It doesn't matter what our opinion is on gravity. It doesn't matter what our opinion is on slavery if it's immoral. Indentured servitude that's immoral. It doesn't matter what our opinion is if that's a life," Steven pointed out.

What About a Women's Choice

Yes, women should have choices.
"I support four choices: contraception, abstinance, motherhood, adoption." Crowder goes on to say "The only one I have a problem with is the fifth one... that's murder."

Baby's Viability

Many people believe that the fetus becomes a baby worth saving when it can survive outside the womb, but this theory brings up many questions.

Crowder brought up the point that babies born in the 40s could not survive as premature as early as they can today. This makes the point are babies born now "more important just because of our technology?"

Is a baby that has a better chance of premature viability because of the advanced medical devices in wealthier communities like Manhattan worth more than an infant in the back woods of Tennessee? 

The Rape Debate

"What I think about rape is that rape is terrible" Steven explained. "That doesn't change the circumstance that there's a life growing inside that women." 
"The rapist has committed an evil, evil act," he continued. "I'm simply saying that you can't meet an evil act with a greater evil that is a termination of a life."
"I just don't believe meeting evil with a more evil act."

Would You Hit Someone With Your Car?

"You're driving home tonight.  You're not entirely sure, but you're pretty sure you see someone in the road, do you stop?" Of course. He went on to explain. "Because you'd air on the side of not ending a life, right?"

"Some people can't be convinced. You can still be very civil."

Georgia Urges Federal Judge to Dismiss "Heartbeat Bill" Lawsuit

Don't Go Breakin' Georgia's Heart(Beat Bill) Georgia made a compelling argument when the state asked a federal judge not to block the heartbeat bill that's set to take effect Jan. 1.  Attorneys representing the state argued in court Monday that the bill "advances Georgia's unique and substantial constitutional interest in protecting unborn human lives, in addition to its interests in protecting maternal health, encouraging childbirth, and safe safeguarding the integrity of the medical profession." They went on to defend the law stating that it is indeed "constitutional and justified." What You Need to Know If the bill passes, pregnant women would be unable to obtain an abortion once a heartbeat can be detected (generally around 6 weeks). The law does contain exceptions. A woman would still be allowed to receive an abortion in the case of rape or incest if a police report was previously filed.  Exceptions would also be available for wo...

Who's Deadlier? Planned Parenthood or COVID-19

  It's Closer than You Think Contrary to what you might expect, the results are actually much closer than what you would like to believe.  According to the CDC , in 2020 there were 376,098 COVID-19 related deaths in the United States. Planned Parenthood disclosed 345,672 abortion services on to their  latest annual report . That doesn't even include the additional 593,586 emergency contraception kits.  Govenment Funded Deaths Planned Parenthood revealed that government funding was their number one source of revenue on their   2018-2019 annual report . In fact, they received 616.8 million dollars from government health services reimbursements and grants.  Exploiting Women Planned Parenthood takes advantage of women. One would think that an organization with such a name would help women plan their parenthood, but this could not be further from the truth.  Numbers simply don't lie. During the course of an entire year, the organization  reported ...
