Pro-Life Activism & Apologetics
Being able to speak articulately, calmly, respectfully and with love and compassion on the subject of pro-life is vital and takes practice and training. There is an old warrior mantra that states ‘Sweat more in Training – Bleed less in Battle’. You can never be too well prepared when venturing into a situation, whether speaking one-on-one or to a small or large group. In your pro-life journey you can expect to meet individuals who do not share your views on abortion and euthanasia, and some who agree with parts of what you believe, but struggle with others. If you are interested in educating others on pro-life you need to put in some time preparing and studying pro-life apologetics. There are great books and resource materials out there (and we can provide some!)
Here are some great links/organizations to check out to get you started:

The S.L.E.D. Test
Should Size, Level of Development, Environment or Degree of Dependency be determining factors in the value of a human being or their right to life? Should our right to existence be defined or influenced by any factor outside of our humanity? This is an apologetic tool/consideration you can familiarize yourself with. Check out this video from Focus on the Family.

Calling All Students
Hey students (and teachers)! Do you want to want to do something to help make a difference in the way our culture values life? Why not start a pro-lie club at your own school! Starting a pro-life club is a rewarding challenge that can raise awareness among your peers or students about the equal worth and dignity of all human life. By also informing students about the alternatives to abortion, you may even help save lives! Please contact us and we can direct you to resources and provide direction and materials to help you get started!
In addition, the Toronto Right to Life Association and the National Campus Life Network have put together a great resource for you including Teacher and student manuals. If you are interested in obtaining these please contact us or visit their website here: http://www.righttolife.to/get-involved/start-a-club/ (Student Club Manual)
This manual makes it easy for you and your friends to start a great prolife club at your school and keep it going strong! Please contact TRL to get your copy or copies and make a stand for life at your school!
If you are a University Student looking for information on starting a club we would love to provide you with resources and support for that as well. We also recommend contacting the National Campus for Life Network - http://www.ncln.ca/ for assistance.
