I used to get mad at the Christian’s holding the signs of dead babies outside planned parenthood, thinking they weren’t loving and were being a-holes, even though I was against abortion…but my beliefs have changed. I hated those signs because they were disgusting, but they’re nowhere near as disgusting as what actually happens in those procedures. People need to face the reality of abortion. I am not simply pro-life, I am an abolitionist.
Abby Johnson, the former planned parenthood clinic manager turned pro-life activist, says our goal should not be to make abortion illegal, but unthinkable.
she's right. it's smart strategy. girls are taught all about sex, very little about procreation.
Imagine if our efforts were re-directed to the classroom, insisting on prenatal education — exactly what expectant mothers and fathers get, so there’s no way it could be challenged from either a medical or science based fact.
And argue for its statistical relevance. It’s generous to estimate 90% are going to experience (or desire) pregnancy in their lifetime; 10% are going to identify as LGBTQ.
One final thought. Prenatal curriculum would inherently be pro-life (imagine if an OB-GYN was not prolife?). It tells the truth without needing to touch the religious or legal questions.

That’s a very good way to put it.
