NEW Sidewalk Counseling Ministry Kicks Off with FREE Training Sessions
|
Fresno Right to Life is kicking off a new ministry: sidewalk counseling! Have you ever wanted to get on the front lines and save lives, but didn't know the laws or how to do it effectively? We're hosting two trainings at the end of the month where all your questions will be answered.
Shannon Duff, a trained sidewalk counselor from Memphis will be our trainer, and Josh Brahm will facilitate. Both trainings will include a Q&A session. Even if you're not sure if this is the right ministry for you, consider coming to one of the short trainings so that you have a better idea of what's involved before making a decision.
For your convenience, we will be hosting two identical trainings at the Fresno Right to Life Office: 1742 E Griffith Way, Fresno, CA
Directions: http://bit.ly/ooRr2Z
August 27: Doors open at 9:30 with light refreshments. Done by noon.
August 29: Doors open at 5:30 PM with pizza dinner. Done by 8.
For questions or assistance please email Josh Brahm at Josh@FresnoProLife.org or call (559) 229-2229.

The Most Unusual Pro-Choice Argument I've Ever Heard
|
By Josh Brahm
 I recently engaged someone in a dialogue on abortion that turned into the most bizarre abortion debate I've ever been a part of. I'm going to share some excerpts from our exchange with you for two reasons. First, some of the ways I responded may be useful for you in most abortion dialogues. (For example, shifting the burden of proof.) Secondly, reading the counters I offered to this particularly unusual argument will be helpful to you in case you are ever confronted with it.
After 10 years of full-time pro-life advocacy, I thought I had heard every possible reason to allow human fetuses to be aborted. Usually people say that abortion should be legal before the preborn child's brain is very active, or when she's not viable outside the mother's body, or before she gets too big or looks too much like older humans.
Not Holly. When I asked Holly at what point of pregnancy she thinks abortions should be illegal, she responded:
"I know this may sound utterly silly, but after the sex is able to be detected. After the fetus has a gender, then to me it is a person, not just a fetus. I don't know about everyone else, but once I knew what gender my kids were they felt real to me."
Read how I responded to her and our following dialogue by clicking here.
