Richard Dawkins Retweeted My Article, and What We Can Learn From That Oct 30, 2017

Show notes

This is a short follow-up piece to the article Josh Brahm wrote about Richard Dawkins and his views on abortion and Down Syndrome that he read in last week's audio blog. The response that we got from that piece when it was published was quite remarkable, so he uses it as a case study for some of the things we talk about. Being extra intentional about understanding people and having clarity before responding to their views can make a huge difference for how pro-choice people respond.

Understanding What Richard Dawkins Actually Believes About Abortion and Down Syndrome Oct 23, 2017

Show notes

Several years ago, Richard Dawkins tweeted something that became very controversial and blew up in pro-life and pro-choice circles. He was attempting to explain why, given the choice, he would abort a baby with Down Syndrome. Dawkins published a very helpful article the following day, apologizing and explaining his views more clearly.

This audio blog is a piece Josh wrote attempting to help pro-life people better understand where he is coming from as well as how better to refute his argument. We think trying to get into Dawkins' shoes will be a good exercise because if we're going to refute a bad idea, we really need to understand it first. We need to refute the strongest version of an argument if we're going to offer the strongest possible refutation.

How to Turn the Tables on Four Pro-Choice Arguments Oct 16, 2017

Show notes

How do you get someone to change their mind about something?

When we've had long conversations about abortion, we have often gone through a process of figuring out any possible creative way to communicate our ideas or arguments in a way that the other person might actually receive. We have found that forcing someone to argue against their own unfair arguments is the most efficient way to help someone realize that their arguments are actually unfair.

Tim provides four examples of unfair pro-choice rhetoric, and the ways he turns the tables.

Pro-Lifers Aren't "Forcing" Women to Stay Pregnant Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

Wording and phrasing significantly influence discussion. Pro-choice advocates constantly describe the intentions of pro-lifers with the language of "forcing" women. Timothy Brahm explains why this is dishonest rhetoric, whether it's intentional or not.

Responding to the Astute Observation That I Am a Man Oct 02, 2017

Show notes

Any time guys do a pro-life outreach on a college campus, they can count on being reminded that they cannot get pregnant. Inevitably, then the pro-choice person will ask, "How can you have an opinion about abortion when you can't get pregnant?" Through our own experience, we have developed a strategy for responding that can help pro-life men be reasonable and winsome.
