DAY 19: A Six-Hour Conversation on the Sidewalk

Email from 40 Days for Life An enemy becomes a friend John, Abortion supporters love to insist that unless you adopt their pet issue, you're not really pro-life.

Email from 40 Days for Life Why silence doesn't help John, As we strive to cultivate respect for life in the womb, there's a critical issue that's often overlooked: miscarriage.

DAY 12: Incompatible with Life?

Email from 40 Days for Life Cherishing every moment John, The case for abortion always comes down to eugenics--the notion that some lives aren't worthy of life.
