Featured Resource - Trot Out the Toddler

JFA Intern Susanna Buckley (right), at JFA’s University of Minnesota (UMN) outreach in October.

When you discuss abortion with others, you’re almost certainly going to hear concerns about suffering — the suffering the pregnant woman is experiencing now and the suffering she and the unborn child will experience soon if she doesn’t get an abortion.  Intern Susanna Buckley described an amazing conversation in JFA’s October 2017 Impact Report in which she helped a young woman see a different perspective on suffering.  You can learn another approach from the example of JFA trainers in actual conversations featured in our “Trot Out the Toddler” Newsletter Collection.  Then use what you’ve learned in a conversation (see below).

 

Conversation Starter - "Is Suffering Ever Better?"

Use Joanna Bai’s recent post, “Is Suffering Ever Better?” to start a conversation about abortion in a natural way.  It features a panel from JFA’s Art of Life Exhibit including a painting by Vincent Van Gogh.  Share the post on social media or email the link to a friend.  Just as the post doesn’t downplay the difficult circumstances and suffering which confront many women considering abortion, we should acknowledge that suffering early in our conversations, affirming the sympathy many feel.  In this way, our love for all human beings, both before and after birth, becomes evident to the person we’re trying to reach, commending our message.
