Pamphlets
An ideal way to spread the pro-life message is through distribution of educational pamphlets.
First, identify your target audience i.e. youth group, mothers’ morning out, church group, neighbour, friend, colleague, your own children. Do you have a specific life issue that you want to address? The arguments to be made in defence of life are varied: scientific, emotional, psychological, spiritual. Know your audience. It’s counterproductive to argue from a spiritual, religious point of view with a non-religious person. It might be better to base your argument on science.
Phone Karen at the office (425-1637) and she will be happy to find you appropriate material that you will be able to pass on to your target audience. Below is a list of some of the pamphlets available through Edmonton Prolife. Many of the pamphlets below can also be purchased from Life Cycle Books.
