Everyone's journey before and after abortion is different. For some, the days before and after their abortion have been reduced to a fuzzy haze, where the mother or father may struggle to recall almost any detail, large or small, as their mind and body has attempted to erase the entire event from their memory. For others, these memories are crystal…

For some, Christmas cooking, church services, and family get togethers are enough to keep conversations about abortion to a minimum, whereas for others, it's a time to discuss and debate the happenings of our world, more and more of which seem to be touching the abortion crisis.

While following the road map and having productive conversations can be quite manageable and straight-forward when you're only talking to one or two people at a time, things can get a lot more complicated when you're talking to a large group of people (especially high school students) who all have different questions. Often, pro-lifers end up answe…
