Course Description
This course helps pregnancy care directors and staff, Right-to-Life chapters, and any individual who has a heart for the unborn to sharpen their critical thinking skills by equipping them to persuasively defend the pro-life view. The goal is simple: prepare participants for the challenges they will face from clients/co-workers and friends that embrace the views of the abortion minded-culture.
Scott Klusendorf, the instructor, will pay particular attention to how your staff and volunteers, or you as an individual, can present a compelling case for the lives of the unborn without relying exclusively on religious sources. He will also teach those present to ask two simple questions designed to clarify the abortion issue for even the toughest skeptics.
