Quote: I think we know that abortions rise when unwanted pregnancies rise. So, if we are continuing what has been a promising trend in the reduction of teen pregnancies, through education and abstinence education giving good information to teenagers. That is important—emphasizing the sacredness of sexual behavior to our children. I think that’s something that we can encourage. I think encouraging adoptions in a significant way. I think the proper role of government. So there are ways that we can make a difference, and those are going to be things I focus on when I am president. - Barack Obama

Discussion Starters:
Those of us who are Christian are, dominantly opposed to abortion on the basis of the 10 Commandments, but how can we make our case in a world that doesn't hold the Bible as authoritative?

Can Christians in good conscious work with those who are pro-choice on projects aimed to reduce abortions?

If the number one factor behind abortions is single mothers who believe they can't afford to raise a child, how should Christians engage that majority?
