When Does Life Begin?
The Burning Question
When does life begin? Justice Harry Blackmun wrote in his Roe v Wade court opinion that “at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, (the Court) is not in a position to speculate as to the answer” of when life begins. Over half a century later, that is still the burning question of the abortion debate and it must be answered!
LifeFirst’s WDLB social media campaign engages our community on that fundamental question. WDLB consists of content on a dedicated website at youranswermatters.org, daily content posted on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and original content articles. An additional tool is our Pro-life Answers 101. From our many conversations on WDLB comment strings, we’ve aggregated common pro-abortion arguments. Pro-life Answers 101 provides our actual responses spoken with grace, clarity and evidence to equip people for conversations in their spheres of influence. Please use it as an ongoing resource!
Your Answer Matters
Take the Survey!
Through the vehicle of a survey, visitors to www.youranswermatters.org choose the point of development at which they believe life begins. They are then presented with great videos and points of development that educate them and humanize the unborn – dreaming, crying, turning summersaults, hiccupping, etc. By first meeting visitors at their point of understanding of when life begins and touching their hearts and minds, we are able to move people back toward a belief that life begins at conception and must be vigorously protected.
An Approach that Works
Abraham Lincoln reportedly greeted Harriet Beecher Stowe with the exclamation, “So this is the little lady that started this great war.” Uncle Tom’s Cabin made the horrors of slavery real and moved white people to recognize the humanity of their black brothers and sisters. Our prayer is that When Does Life Begin illuminates the WONDER of life and moves people to recognize themselves in the unborn – to think “That’s Me!“.
3.5% Can Change the World!
Erica Chenowith, a political scientist, conducted a seminal review of social movements around the world. Her research, detailed here, produced compelling evidence that if just 3.5% of the population in a society becomes actively involved in an issue, change is inevitable. Wow! Join us in this campaign and be part of that 3.5% that will save lives and heartache!
