College can bring forth so many emotions, changes, and feelings. I've felt it… anyone who has been through it has felt it. For gymnast Megan Almon, her first years at the University of Georgia flipped her world upside down. Hearing her story today is such a reminder of how intricately and deeply Jesus loves and cares for us.  While working for a newspaper after college, a simple cover story for a pregnancy center set her on a new course that would change her life forever. Megan is now making a case for life. Through love and deep conversation, she explains why pro-life is true and why life matters. Megan even explains how fighting for life can open doors for other injustices to be brought into the light. I admire her for her efforts in this fight for life and justice and I know you will too.

In our time of COVID-19, people have been given an unexpected opportunity to think about what it means to be human and valuable, and how to protect the vulnerable. And yet, people are as divided as ever about the issue of abortion. As Christians, how should we think about and articulate the pro-life conversation in our current cultural moment?

Part 2 of our conversation focuses on responding to arguments presented by pro-choice advocates. The abortion debate is one of the more controversial issues of our day, but this shouldn't keep us from discussing this important issue. It may seem overwhelming, but it comes down to one simple question, "What is the unborn?" As Greg Koukl says, "If the unborn is not a human person, no justification for abortion is necessary. However, if the unborn is a human person, no justification for abortion is adequate.” Megan Almon joins the show to help us understand and discuss this important issue. She has been a speaker with the Life Training Institute since 2009. During her time there, she has trained tens of thousands of individuals to articulate and defend the pro-life view.

The pro-life argument isn't that it is wrong to intentionally kill fetuses because they are capable of experiencing pain. Abortion is wrong because it intentionally kills innocent human beings. Even so, unborn babies as early as 20 weeks may feel pain intensely.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Megan Almon about her volume 42, number 3/4 (2019) article, “What's Pain Got to Do with It? Why Arguments over Fetal Pain Capability Ultimately Miss the Mark in the Abortion Debate“.

If the battleground over abortion resembles a chess board, the new Netflix documentary Reversing Roe is an offensive bombardment on the pro life movements front lines. The problem is that the film talks around abortion without ever really talking about it at all. Its release is eerily timely its conclusion set the stage for the dramatic showdown over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. And its method is strikingly similar to coverage of the Kavanaugh debacle a postmodern feelings led approach that runs roughshod over the ins and outs of valid arguments. The documentary juxtaposes a brief history of abortion rights with recent efforts several states have made since Roes inception to limit access to abortion. From the pre Roe era of illegal abortions whether therapeutic and performed in hospital settings or done with coat hanger segments in hidden rooms to President Trumps inauguration and nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, Reversing Roe spells out the purported dangers of eliminating abortion as a constitutional right for women. This Postmodern Realities podcast episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Megan Almon about her online review article Reversing Reason.

On today's special edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, we present another episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank's guest is Megan Almon, a speaker with Life Training Institute and author of an article in the current issue of the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL, "What's in a Name? A Growing Trend to Abolish the Labels Pro-choice and Pro-life."

Hank takes callers' questions and answers them to equip them to defend the truth of the gospel.

A recent trend, which gained traction with a piece released by Planned Parenthood a handful of years ago Moving Beyond ProLife vs. ProChoice Labels, Youre Not in Her Shoes, is attempting to do just that. There is a growing desire that the terms prochoice and prolife be abolished because they do not adequately express feelings about abortion. Most people just dont want to be labeled, proponents claim. They may very well be on to something, but theyre taking things too far. Simply put, labels come with pros and cons. Some labels are associated automatically with stereotypical meanings, which can be exacerbated further by any number of factors that influence individuals culture, education, loyalties, circumstances, media. When labels are thrown out haphazardly, they oftentimes unfairly corral others into groups according to the audiences perception.It may be that the call for abolishing the label prochoice comes from the fact that many identify themselves as personally prolife, while others label them prochoice. These individuals play the moral relativism card by reducing moral truth to mere personal preference.

Story tellers drive the culture and Christians must remember that we have the best story to tell. Megan Almon is a speaker with Life Training Institute and a Christian Research Journal contributor who authored the recent cover article Seeing Red: The Handmaid's Tale, Human Dignity and Hope, addressing the popular, yet controversial, Hulu television series The Handmaid's Tale, an adaptation of Margaret Atwood's 1985 dystopian novel by the same name. Almon joins Hank to discuss the importance of cultural apologetics, pro-life apologetics and the consequences of secular feminism, abortion and sexual freedom in both The Handmaid's Tale and our world today. Topics discussed include: Michelle Wolf's salute to abortion- “God bless abortion, God bless America” (4:25); Almon's passion for pro-life apologetics (7:05); is the term “pro-life” propaganda? (8:40); what would make abortion ok? (9:50); how abortion has shifted from being a scientific debate to a philosophical debate (11:10); the importance of Christians being able to communicate the pro-life position articulately and convincingly because story tellers drive the culture (14:05); examining worldviews and the importance of cultural apologetics (16:25); the narrative presented in The Handmaid's Tale that women will lose all of the progress gained through the suffrage movement if they lose access to abortion and “reproductive freedom” (20:55); a women's worth being equated to her ability to earn wages (23:45); the rise of infertility and changing views of motherhood (26:05); surrogacy and the commodification of children (29:30); the destructive consequences of the sexual revolution and idolization of sexual freedom (35:50); defining men and women out of existence and the effect on women's rights (38:30); the criticality of becoming biblically literate to counter the twisting of scripture, or “scriptorture” (40:30); embracing the doctrine of unity through unification around the essentials of the Christian faith in the face of the unnecessary fragmentation within Christianity (42:50); endowed with dignity by virtue of being created in the Imago Dei (46:30); the false narrative that the Bible supports an oppressive patriarchal society versus the reality that the Bible actually elevated the status of women (47:45); contrasting the way that Jesus and Muhammed treated women (53:00); Planned Parenthood's desire to abolish the terms pro-choice and pro-life (54:30); The Handmaid's Tale explained (55:45); the need for Christians to practice cultural apologetics and discernment (58:05); becoming so familiar with the truth that when a counterfeit looms on the horizon you know it immediately (1:00:50); the functional value of secular feminism, abortion on demand and sexual freedom (1:02:30); Christian involvement in the culture wars and examples of hope (1:04:15); raising Christian children (1:08:05).

Idolization of Sexual Freedom with Megan Almon

How do I make the case for the life on the issue of abortion? What do science and philosophy have to say about what it means to be human? Can we really talk about this issue without "imposing morality" on people? Why is it important to clarify this issue when making the case for life? Many in our culture feel nervous to talk about issues like abortion. On this episode of the podcast, host Jonathan Morrow and Megan Almon of Life Training Institute answer these questions and more as they discuss why it's important to clarify the issue, and do so with a posture of gentleness and respect.

Fans of The Handmaids Tale, Hulus television adaptation of Margaret Atwood 1985 dystopian novel, have taken to donning the red handmaids attire to protest current cultural and political threats to reproductive freedom, specifically abortion rights. If those rights go, they surmise, then so will all of the progress feminism has achieved to this point, and America will soon resemble Atwoods imagined Gilead, where women have no rights save for those granted by corrupt men in power. Those claiming that the television adaptation created by Bruce Miller is more documentary than fiction may be closer to the truth than they realize, but the similarities between Gilead and 2017 America do not stem from Christianity. Both worlds teeter on a functional view of human value, a system brought about in todays world in large part by secular feminism, the availability of abortion on demand, and the idolization of sexual freedom. Instead of Atwoods provocative prose depicting a caste system distinguished by colored clothing, however, todays handmaids tale is told in terms of wealth, performance, and status, as well as in the language of artificial reproductive technologies that cross moral boundaries. As so called progress continues, children are continually reduced to products whether disposable or purchasable and women (as well as men) steadily are being defined out of existence. Were not hurtling toward a dystopian Gilead were already there. Ultimately, neither story can be told without glimmerings of human dignity, particularly deep longings for identity and justice. True Christianity answers both worlds and tells a far better story.

Megan Almon, speaker at the Life Training Institute, spent some time with me responding to pro-choice arguments. This episode (Part 2) covers many arguments including when life begins, when the fetus becomes valuable, health issues, and how to respond in the case of rape.

Megan Almon, speaker at the Life Training Institute, explains how to make a case for the pro-life position using embryology and philosophy.

Josh Brahm interviews Jonathan Keller from California Family Council and Megan Almon from Life Training Institute to discuss the pro-life bill that just failed to pass a committee in Sacramento. The goal of the bill was to prevent sex-selection abortions in California.

Megan Almon from Life Training Institute joins Josh Brahm and Gabi Vehrs to discuss strawman fallacies. Josh starts the show by stating that both pro-life and pro-choice people strawman the other side all the time, and he shares several examples. They then discuss how people can avoid making strawman arguments. How can we intentionally listen to people and ask a LOT of clarification questions to determine what they actually believe?

Josh, Gabi and Megan Almon from Life Training Institute discuss how pro-lifers can best respond to pro-choice people who argue that abortion should be legal because the world is overpopulated or because women will die in back-alleys if abortion became illegal. Note: Our strategy for responding to back-alley abortions relies heavily on the work of Steve Wagner from Justice For All.

Megan Almon from Life Training Institute joins Josh and Gabi to discuss how pro-lifers can have productive conversations about Gosnell, as well as the common mistakes pro-lifers should avoid. One of the most common questions we get is "how do you start non-weird conversations about abortion when you're not on campus next to a pro-life exhibit?" One of the easier methods is to use a story that's currently in the news. Josh thinks pro-life people can have good conversations about abortion starting with the controversy of what Gosnell did, but he doesn't think you should stop there. He uses several specific questions to lead the conversation into talking about the abortions that are less controversial to pro-choice people: abortions done on first-trimester babies that are in the womb, aren't viable, aren't conscious and don't feel pain. After giving these questions and dialogue tips, the discussion turns to what pro-life people should NOT do when talking about Gosnell. What are the most common mistakes pro-lifers make regarding this story? Listen to the episode to find out. Josh also briefly responds to the pro-choice argument that it's pro-lifers fault that women went to Gosnell's clinic in the first place. Note from Josh: We shot this episode a week before Gosnell was finally convicted of murder, among other things. This content is still relevant, it just means you might change the first question from "Should Dr. Gosnell be in jail," to something like "do you think it's a good thing that Dr. Gosnell is serving a life sentence in prison?"

Interview with Megan Almon on Abortion

We’re super excited about this episode, because we think it’s the best roundtable discussion we’ve recorded in a long time. Megan Almon from Life Training Institute joins us to discuss the recent Planned Parenthood ad that distances itself from the labels “pro-life” and “pro-choice.” While pro-life bloggers discussed the ad when it came out, I felt like we had some unique perspectives to contribute. Discussion topics include the main problems with the argument in the ad, the weaknesses of labels in general, the importance of not stereotyping people and the question of whether moral neutrality is possible on abortion. Josh closes the show with questions for both sides of the abortion debate to consider.
