Overturning Roe won’t reduce abortions as much as this will
In Monday’s article here, I argued that the overturning of Roe v Wade will only reduce abortions nationwide by 10 – 20%. A great victory, for sure, but not the […]
Does the Pro-Life Community have its Head in the Sand?
Yes, it does. What do I mean? I mean we in the Pro-Life Movement have put so much hope in the overturning of Roe v Wade for so long that […]
Don’t Be Generous. Be Demanding.
I’m sure the title of the article caught your attention!
My question to you, as well as to myself, is why does that imperative – “Don’t be generous. Be demanding.” – cause such a negative emotional reaction within us?
Eventually, It Catches Up With You
In yesterday’s article, I mentioned the concept of “buyer’s remorse,” also sometimes called “buyer’s regret.”
This occurs when the buyer of a product or service eventually realizes that they made a mistake – that the product they bought did not measurably improve their lives, and instead, likely diminished their lives in a specific way…
All You Need Is Love
Yesterday, I was blessed to participate in a three-way phone conversation with Bridget VanMeans, the leader of ThriVe Express Women’s Healthcare (Read my articles about ThriVe here, here, here, and here), and a pro-life benefactor (he subscribes to my articles but I don’t have permission to use his name here) who wanted to learn more about ThriVe’s strategy.
As always, Bridget offered a treasure trove of insights about what it takes for a pro-life Pregnancy Medical Center to win, as measured by market share, against Planned Parenthood…

And those answers always went something like this: Equality! Justice! Fairness! Love! Generosity…!
Non-Profit Status With For-Profit Attitude
Just a thought experiment, but I wonder what would happen if all pro-life pregnancy centers converted from non-profits to for-profits?
Would “donations” dry up?
I’m not sure, but even if that happened, I don’t think that would necessarily be a bad thing…
Your Market Share Investment Algorithm
In yesterday’s article, I made the assertion that even experienced marketing and sales professionals, who would habitually only invest in an opportunity based on quantitative numbers, have a tendency to throw that habit out when it comes to investing in pro-life pregnancy centers…
Paying For Emotional Fulfillment
As you may know, I love the TV show Shark Tank.
The show turns on its head the adage, “People buy based on emotion, and justify their purchases with logic…”
To Get What You Expect, Inspect
“People don’t do what you expect but what you inspect.” -Louis V. Gerstner, Jr.
If you have a marketing or sales background, I hope you were disappointed when I revealed to you the standard response given by most pro-life pregnancy centers when asked by an abortion-seeking woman, “Do you provide abortions?” henceforth referred to as “the question…”
