You shouldn’t force your morals on others

This is a self refuting/suicide

statement.If you shouldn’t force your morals on

others, then why are you forcing THAT moral on me?

ALL laws force someone’s morals on someone else

The question is not if we SHOULD force morals on others.

The question is WHICH morals should we be forcing?

You can’t legislate morality?

That’s what people blindly say without thinking it through.

We ONLY legislate moral values. Any law NOT based on a moral

value is a tyrannical and unfair law

Where do we get the Moral Law from?

• Moral Laws are like Physical Laws

• They exist independently of us

• They need to be taught to us or they need to be discovered by us, just like a law of Physics

• They are NOT derived by consensus, but derived by practicality and logic.

• They may however be agreed upon by consensus just like we agreed on Newton’s laws. But Newton didn’t INVENT them.

There are in the end only TWO commandments

Love GodLove God Love your NeighborLove your Neighbor

Once we love Godwe are told to look out for the weak, the poor, the sick, the

orphans, the oppressed.

• As Christians we are to be involved in Social Justice

• We can not abandon the needs of those who are oppressed and consider ourselves followers of Christ

Why was the Law given to us?

• Why do we have laws in our Country?

• Why do we make these laws?

• What are they based on?

What was the Prophet’s Role in the

Bible?

The Prophet’s role was:• To call out the people to God’s law.

• To point out the political LEADERS who were abandoning God’s law and chastise them publically when they oppressed innocents

• To warn the people what would fall upon them if they appointed or followed leaders who went against God’s law.

• The prophets were not always popular or welcome

Jonah at Nineveh

What happened to the people of Israel when their Leaders led them

astray?

Did God punish the leaders only?

No, He punished EVERYONE!

We are called to protect and care for

Women and Children,The unjustly treated,

The innocent.This is the same call that led Christians to fight to ban:

We cannot sit idly by

Gladiatorial Combat Child Labor Slavery Racism Discrimination of women

Kidnapping Women for marriage Satee (burning widows) Experimentation on the poor Inhumane treatment of prisoners…etc

Will you be a prophet?

Do you think we should be doing something to stop abortions?

Born Alive Infant’s Protection Act

Passed only recently:

Says that any infant born ALIVE after an abortion has to be given all the rights of any Citizen including the right to life.

Gianna Jessen Born Alive after a Saline Abortion

Gianna Has Cerebral Palsyas a result of the abortion - but is an accomplished speaker and marathon runner


Do you see why we need to talk about this?

While Roe v. Wade Made abortion legal in the last 12 years

• Various Politicians (Republicans) have passed over 500 laws that have restricted laws on abortion

• E.g. Parent Notification Laws

• E.g. No taking minors across state lines for an abortion etc.

This has reduced abortion by 22% - down from 1.6M a year

FOCA: The Freedom of Choice Act

Will eliminate every one of those

Abortion limiting laws

Abortion Discussing Technique

Reduce 90% of all Reduce 90% of all issues toissues to

““What is it?”What is it?”

Most common Pro-Choice Arguments

1. Coat Hangers2. Abortion is a private matter between a woman

and her God. 3. Most poor women cannot afford another child.4. Women should not be forced to bear an

unwanted child5. Unwanted/Abused Children, Quality of Life.

Deformed or Handicapped. 6. Adoption is too painful for the mother7. Intolerance


8. Opposition to Abortion is based on Religious Beliefs so it should not be imposed on people without those beliefs. Don’t impose your Morality on me.

9. If you are opposed to abortion don’t have one.10. Until you can take care of unwed mothers and

provide care for all the children you can’t oppose abortion.

11. Overpopulation12. Pro Life rhetoric causes fanatics to bomb clinics

and kill people.


13. How can you as a man speak to the issue? This is about a woman’s right to choose.

14. It’s a women’s body. She should be allowed to do what she wants with her body.

15. Abortion is a very complicated issue and we should not be making decisions for others.

16. Rape/Incest/Life of Mother17. Pro-lifers are hypocritical and believe in

Capital punishment

To defuse every argument and bring it back to the primary argument, ask the person to replace “fetus” with “1 day/month old baby” and see if the logic still stands.

Primary Tactic to WinAbortion Arguments

If they say or imply “fetus” replace it with “1 day old baby.”If they say or imply “abortion” replace it with “killing a 1 day old baby.”If they say or imply “choice” replace it with “the choice to kill my 1 day old baby”

Here’s how it works:

If the unborn is NOT human, then no justification is needed for abortion.

But if the unborn IS human or if we are not sure, then no justification is sufficient.

1. Coat Hangers

Most common Pro-Choice ArgumentsHow to reduce most arguments to “What is it?”

1. Coat Hangers Deaths due to bank Deaths due to bank

robberies are not a reason to robberies are not a reason to make bank robbing legal.make bank robbing legal.


1. Coat HangersMost abortions were done by Doctors Most abortions were done by Doctors who illegally in their own offices. Not who illegally in their own offices. Not by butchers in the back alley.by butchers in the back alley.1960 - All States Illegal 289/year1960 - All States Illegal 289/year1966 - All States Illegal 120/year1966 - All States Illegal 120/year1972 - 16 States Legal 39/year1972 - 16 States Legal 39/year1980 - All States Legal 10 –20/year1980 - All States Legal 10 –20/year

2. Abortion is a private matter between a woman and her God.


If they say or imply “fetus” replace it with “1 day old baby.”

If they say or imply “abortion” replace it with “killing a 1 day old baby.”If they say or imply “choice”

replace it with “the choice to kill my 1 day old baby”

OK You try it:Abortion is a private matter between a woman and her God.

2. Killing a 1 day old baby is a private matter between a woman and her God.


3. Most poor women cannot afford another child so it’s OK To allow abortions!


3. Most poor women cannot afford another child so it’s OK to allow poor women with 1 day old children to kill them!


3. Most poor women cannot afford another child so it’s OK To allow abortions!

Would we allow a woman with a 1 day old baby to kill it if she suddenly lost her job and couldn’t afford to feed it?


How to reduce most arguments to “What is it?”

5. Unwanted/Abused Children, Quality of Life. Deformed/Handicapped.


5a. If you ban abortions you’ll have unwanted & abused children.


5a. If you ban the killing of 1 day olds you’ll have unwanted & abused 2 year old children.

When abortion was first legalized all the pro-choice people said that child abuse would be stopped or at least be reduced.

But on the contrary, in the years since Abortion was legalized and became commonplace, child abuse has increased 200% or more.

Obviously abortion on demand has NOT stopped child abuse. Isn’t it time to try a different solution?


5b. “Aborting mentally retarded or deformed fetuses will save them from a very painful life.”


5b. “Aborting mentally retarded or deformed 1 day olds will save them from a very painful life.”


8. Opposition to Abortion is based on Religious Beliefs so it should not be imposed on people without those beliefs. Don’t impose your Morality on me.

9. If you are opposed to abortion don’t have one.10. Until you can take care of unwed mothers and provide

care for all the children you can’t oppose abortion.11. Overpopulation: If don’t allow abortion the world will

become overpopulated.12. Pro Life rhetoric causes fanatics to bomb clinics and

kill people.


9. If you are opposed to abortion don’t have one.

Answer- If the fetus is human that’s like saying:

9. If you are opposed to killing your 1 day old child don’t kill it, but don’t stop me from killing my 1 day old child.

Discussion Time: How do you respond to this?

10. You must first take care of unwed mothers and provide care for the children or you can’t oppose abortion.

Answer- If the fetus is human that’s like saying:

10. You must first take care of unwed mothers and provide care for the children or you can’t oppose killing children.


11. Overpopulation

We have to allow abortion because there is too much overpopulation.

We have to allow abortion because there is too much overpopulation.

Ronald Wilson Reagan

““I notice that I notice that all the Pro-all the Pro-

Choice Choice people have people have already been already been

This is about a woman’s right to choose.

13. How can you as a man speak to the issue? This is about a woman’s right to choose.



16. Rape/Incest/Life of Mother17. Pro-lifers are hypocritical and believe in

18. Unless you’ve had an abortion how can you speak against it. Unless you’ve been in a situation where you’ve needed an abortion how can you condemn it? You don’t know what it’s like.


18. Unless you’ve killed a one day old baby how can you speak against it. Unless you’ve been in a situation where you’ve needed to kill a one day old baby how can you condemn it? You don’t know what it’s like.
