Hi.
I’m glad you had a good encounter with the opposition.
May you have many more great outcomes and successes.
Just remember to keep your hands out of your pockets and your head on a swivel.

My favorite points....
The baby is NOT part of the mother. It has a unique human DNA sequence all it’s own just like how your DNA is unique to you.
It is ALIVE. If NASA found the same “group of cells” on Mars they would certainly claim they found life on another planet.
The baby is ALIVE and is a unique human individual life.
There have been people throughout history who have said one group of humans is more deserving of life than other groups of humans. These have been slavers, Nazis, etc...
I have a Christian friend who believed the “just a blob of cells” lie until my daughter had a what is called a ‘late miscarriage’.
I explained to her what the baby born at 20 weeks gestation really looked like, and showed her the pictures the hospital took of my granddaughter. When presented with the evidence of a fully formed baby girl who just needed more time to gain weight and develop her lungs, my friend instantly changed her mind. Less than two years later, my daughter would lose a baby boy at 22 weeks gestation.
That was 22 years ago. These days, babies his size and age have a chance of surviving.
But the real lesson here is that my daughter’s problems with what is medically called an “incompetent cervix”, is the fact that this condition was caused by the two abortions she had had according to her doctors. (One I didn’t know about until she lost the baby boy, the other I moved heaven and earth to stop, but failed.)
Young women are not being told about this condition by the pro-abortion crowd, and they need to know an abortion could make carrying a wanted baby to term very difficult. We eventually found a doctor who knew to send my daughter to a surgeon for a procedure called a cerclage, sewing the cervix shut until about the 35th week of pregnancy, and bed rest for about 25 weeks.
Joyously it’s birthday season for the two young people born as a result of the cerclage and bedrest. My oldest living granddaughter turns 20 and my oldest living grandson 19 in the next two weeks.(Yeah, they are 11 months, 2 weeks apart) and all that bedrest was worth it! Oh, and my daughter was a single mother through all of this.
You may use any part of this story you wish. Explaining to a frightened young woman how she can avoid even bigger problems will help keep you from becoming angry.
Tell them that they've convinced you and to prove it you're going to abort THEM!

Good on you, as well, that you are fair-minded enough to ignore those who tell you to stop trying because the proaborts are imbeciles, demon-spawn, subhuman, or other labels out of the Bad Words Thesaurus.
The fact is, God would not sustain anyone in existence if there were truly no hope for them.
I admit I would not approach an overtly aggressive person armed with a baseball bat, but I have always approached people whose demeanor seemed to be reasonably open.
Half the pro-life activists I know are converts, including myself. The Pro Life movement would be small and weak if we lost our good hearts and our good hope.
Let us hear how your outreach goes!
Tell them that if they have pre-conceived notions about who pro-life people are (judgmental Bible-thumpers), they should check out feministsforlife.org, democratsforlife.org and even atheists for life, if they are still around.
Students for Life of America is a big group of young people who train pro-life young people on high school and college campuses.
They’ve got great talking points and you can learn a lot from them.
Their website is studentsforlife.org
One in 1 million chance they’re there to actually communicate. They are there to grandstand and provoke. No communication is possible. My recommendation, if you have the time, would be to stand there and stare calmly. Don’t talk, don’t make faces, just observe. They’ll become agitated and begin to behave erratically when they realize nothing they do will provoke a response from you. You can do the same thing to barking dogs when you’re on the sidewalk and they’re behind a fence. You just stand there and watch them go crazy and eventually they’ll start attacking each other. I did this to a neighborhood gang from my porch and it was quite a show. They wore themselves out while I was resting.

I once got myself on TV by describing one of their clinics as “Auschwitz for babies.”
