Engaging in Pro-Life Conversations and Addressing the Redefinition of Being Pro-Life
Engaging in pro-life conversations involves encouraging others to start conversations and share information, even if they may not have all the answers perfectly. The redefinition of being pro-life has been observed in progressive Christianity, where the traditional stance against abortion has evolved to encompass a broader range of social issues. This redefinition has raised the idea that being pro-life should extend beyond preventing abortion to encompass issues such as hunger, poverty, illiteracy, child mortality, racism, bigotry, homophobia, and other societal challenges. Progressive Christians advocate that being pro-life means defending and celebrating all life equally, as well as passionately protecting it by addressing various social issues. This shift in definition poses a challenge for engaging in pro-life discussions, as it broadens the scope of the pro-life stance and requires agreement on multiple social and political points to align with progressive views.
