Talk given at "Using Calm, Cool Logic to Dismantle Pro-Choice Views," a Young Adult Pro-Life Conference held at Christ the King Catholic Church on March 9, 2013. Fr. Ed Fride is pastor of Christ the King Catholic Church in Ann Arbor, MI. If we base our arguments against abortion simply on Church teaching, then those who do not accept Church teaching will not be convinced. We need to also be able to appeal to logic, science and philosophy. Fr. Ed describes the fallacious philosophy behind some of the pro-abortion arguments. He then answers questions from the audience at the end of the talk.
