Abortion - Pro Life Views/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer just about any question about abortion and recommend places to focus if you would like to learn more. My arguments are mainly secular, due to the other person I talk with usually, but I can also discuss religious viewpoints as well. I substantiate all claims I make and always welcome intelligent discussion or general questions.
Experience in the area
I present lectures and presentations on bioethical issues and also engage in public debates. I like to focus on one-to-one interaction and attempt to reason through logic, not emotion.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I hope to learn the truth concerning a human being's life, when it starts and whether personhood is separate from being.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
I was raised pro-life. In college, I was adamantly pro-choice. After college I am strongly pro-life.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
What isn't controversial about it. We have women's rights, we have dead babies, some people have bombed clinics, others have beat up protestors. The subject is very controversial, but emotion should not reign, truth should. We should follow the side that's true.

For the political side, they are almost entirely the donors for pro-choice along with Emily's list (of which they are a major contributor). Opensecrets.org is a great website to look up information.
