When a new Women’s Resource Center was established at my university (UNC-Wilmington) I was concerned that it would serve as more of a resource for feminists professors than for female students. I also suspected that the Center would try to advance a “pro-choice” agenda with little tolerance for the views of pro-life advocates. Recently, those suspicions were confirmed.

The Pill: Addressing the Scientific and Ethical Questions of the Abortifacient Issue
I am frustrated that I have only one life to live for Christ. This morning after breakfast I was again distressed, very distressed, at the thought of the thousands of unborn children that are legally crushed to death by sterile medical instruments. I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. The immensity of the horror of bloody little legs and arms and heads dismembered and piled on a clinic mat returned again and again.
1. Tailor your presentation to your audience, so you’re speaking to them, not yourself.
2. Do your homework. The other position can afford to be ignorant of the facts. You can’t.
3. Present the facts logically, clearly and succinctly, citing credible sources, secular whenever possible. (PLA contains hundreds of such sources.)
When I wrote the first edition of this book in the early 1990s, I wanted to supply people with a carefully researched, highly useable resource. I had no idea the impact it would have. The book sold over 75,000 copies, a huge number for a book on this subject. Most importantly, it has been repeatedly used by thousands of people in their attempts to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Many prolife groups use the book to train their volunteers and their speakers. College ethics classes use it as a textbook. I have received letters from hundreds of high school and college students who’ve used the book to help them prepare speeches or write term papers and editorials for their school newspapers. I’ve spoken to three thousand public high school students at a single convention, distributing free copies of the book, which they eagerly snatched up. Pastors have asked to use it in their sermons, people write and ask if they can use it to construct letters to newspapers, family members, and representatives. (The answer is always yes.)
Twenty–seven years ago, nine black-robed men handed feminists a triumph that would try our souls, and I have come to believe find them wanting.
I cringe to think of those who will stand before the Almighty having prided themselves in the killing of children.
The following article is excerpted from Ron's presentation at colleges that presents a moral perspective on the beginning of life geared toward a secular audience.
"Let's go see the gap!" My friend, Bob, is a dentist but I was fairly certain he wasn't talking about dental work.
