Why Are You Pro-Life? Scott Klusendorf on Making a Persuasive Case for Life
How do you explain why you’re pro-life to someone who doesn’t share your faith? Scott Klusendorf, president of Life Training Institute and author of The Case for Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture, joins Dr. Mike Chupp and Dr. Brick Lantz to discuss making a clear, reasoned case for the unborn and asking thoughtful questions when conversations become tense. They explore the role of healthcare professionals in these discussions and a question that touches every patient: Is human value inherent, or does it depend on what a person can do?
