VIDEO: Responding to “I’m pro-life, but…” statements

I was asked to give an apologetics speech at the Students for Life of America 2014 West Coast National Conference. I was given a title, “I’m Pro-Life, But…,” that I was allowed to do anything I wanted with, so I chose to respond to these four common statements and questions:

1: “I’m pro-life, but people tell me I come across like a jerk. What can I do about that?”
2: “I’m pro-life, but I don’t know how to convince people that abortion is wrong.”
3: “I’m pro-life, but I think it should be legal.”
4: “I’m pro-life, but what about rape?”
