In the end, I was able to fend off the challenges raised against the pro-life view. I used a little organizing tactic to make my job easier. I call it the pro-life two-step. Most objections against the pro-life view can be categorized into one of two groups.
1) They assume the unborn is not a human being.
2) They disqualify the unborn from being a valuable human being based on an arbitrary quality or characteristic.
As I heard each objection, I determined which of the two categories it fell in. Then, I responded accordingly.

A couple in South Africa have been arrested for running an underground abortion clinic.
