Dialogue Tip + Upcoming Workshops (Kansas City / St. Louis)

Hello Reader,

As a woman, I find it helpful to share how my pro-life views stem, in part, from my belief that the pro-life position truly supports women. But what if you’re not a woman? That argument might not carry the same weight for some people.

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “No uterus, no opinion.” It’s a quick way to shut down dialogue, leaving no room to challenge the pro-choice perspective. So, how can a pro-life man navigate this conversational roadblock and keep the discussion open?

My colleague Jon Wagner wrote a blog post addressing this very challenge. As a man, he’s faced countless interactions with pro-choice women who’ve told him to stay silent. But instead of responding with frustration—or giving in to their demands—Jon offers a gracious, thoughtful approach to keep the conversation moving in a productive direction.

Your Words Can Change—and Save—a Life

Do you know someone who’s “mostly pro-life” but holds a few exceptions? That common ground can be the perfect place to start a meaningful conversation. Your willingness to engage could be the catalyst that shifts their perspective. Will you consider starting a conversation about abortion with this person this month?

You can begin by saying something like, "I recently took a class on how to create dialogue rather than heated debates about tough issues like abortion. With all that’s going on in the news right now regarding abortion, would you be open to sharing your thoughts on the issue with me?"

Thank you for being a voice for the unborn and their parents. Together, we can create a culture of life, one conversation at a time.

Your sister in Christ,
​Kristina Massa​
