It can be tempting to assume the worst about the motives of people you don't agree with. But it's better to dialog with them and listen.
Apparently some bad assumptions are being made about the motives of pro-life activists. A Christian leader, out of his own experiences, answers the incorrect myths:
1. "Pro-lifers don't care about living families, only the fetus in the womb." Untrue. They're involved in adoption, foster care, and pregnancy crisis centers.
2. "Pro-lifers are primarily just trying to grab power." This is a weird one and untrue. Pro-lifers are passionate about saving the lives of babies. Baby turtles or whales may have more protection.
3. "Scientists agree that life doesn't begin at conception." Again, untrue. In a University of Chicago survey of over five thousand biologists, 96% agreed that a human being starts to live at fertilization.
