Persuasive Pro-Life: How to Talk About Our Culture's Toughest Issue Trent Horn - Catholic Answers (Paperback)
Are you scared to talk about abortion?
Don’t worry—almost everyone is. Either we think the subject is too impolite, or we don’t want to be branded an intolerant fanatic, or we’re afraid we won’t represent the pro-life side well enough. Whatever the reason for this fear, it causes many of us pass up opportunities to speak out on behalf of the unborn.
You can overcome this fear, says Trent Horn in his groundbreaking book Persuasive Pro-Life. With a little knowledge and a few proven techniques, you can become a bold and effective apologist for life.
Drawing on over a decade as a pro-life organizer, Horn helps you cut through the diversions and obfuscations of the “pro-choice” side in order to accurately frame the legal, historical, and medical issue surrounding abortion. Then he demonstrates—with vivid personal examples from his years of campus activism—the importance of being charitable in all abortion debates, no matter how strident the other side might be. We must be not just warriors for the pro-life cause, he says, but ambassadors for it.
Then Horn leads you a guided tour of the many types of pro-abortion opponent or inquirer (“the pragmatist,” “the skeptic,” “the conflicted”) along with more real-life examples. In each case he teaches you specific approaches—what to say, what not to say, and how to bear yourself—that are custom-tailored to every situation.
The struggle over abortion has never been hotter, and the stakes could not be higher.
Read Persuasive Pro-Life today and never again be afraid to speak up for the precious and fundamental right to life.

"To change hearts and minds on abortion, it’s not enough to be passionately pro-life. You also have to be intelligently pro-life, and that means knowing who you’re talking to and how to reach them. Trent Horn shares over a decade of experience on the front lines of the abortion debate, teaching pro-lifers how approach the discussion with confidence, charity, and effectiveness." —Eric Scheidler, Executive director, Pro-life Action League
