HLI Announces Online Publication of

Pro-life Talking Points

FRONT ROYAL, VA - Human Life International (HLI), the world's largest pro-life organization, announces the online publication of its Pro-life Talking Points (PLTP) series. Designed to be easily downloaded, printed and shared, each of these one-page, two-sided documents lays out the pro-life arguments on specific issues from "When Does Human Life Begin?" to "Abortion Violence: Setting the Record Straight."

"I speak to pro-lifers around the world and people always ask me how they can persuasively argue for the pro-life cause on specific issues that they care about," said Fr. Thomas J. Euteneuer, president of HLI. "The PLTP series has, in plain language, the answers that people are looking for, in a format that is easy to print, forward and share with others."

Each PLTP document focuses on a specific issue at the heart of the debate over life issues. While other PLTP documents will follow, the first ten are:

"Pro- Abortion Violence: Setting the Record Straight"

"Why Women Abort"

"The Abuse of Population Control"

"The Negative Effects of the Pill"

Obama v. Life I: Before the Election

"Does Welfare Reduce Abortion?"

"Condoms: Little Known Scientific Facts"

"Is a Baby Human From the Beginning?"

"Men and Abortion"

"Does Abortion Save Women's Lives?"

"All pro-lifers need to do three things when debating life issues," said Fr. Euteneuer. "First, pray because only God can change hearts. Second, be convinced that the facts are on our side. The anti-life movement is very good at using slogans and emotion because they know that they can't base their arguments on facts. Finally, know and use the facts. To that end, the Pro-Life Talking Points series will assist every pro-lifer in the mission of defending babies and souls."
