Clinic Witness Training from Sidewalk Counselor Karen Black

by Matt Yonke
Pro-Life Action League

Witnessing for life outside your local abortion clinic can be difficult work, but highly rewarding. But if you want to be an effective counselor to abortion-bound women, it’s important to know the psychology of the women coming in to the clinic and how to speak to them in a way that they can receive.

That’s just the kind of training you can get from the talk below entitled, “Equipping for Life” by sidewalk counselor Karen Black. Karen has years of experience on the sidewalk saving lives, and research to back up her tactics on the psychology of women seeking abortion.

The talk is about two hours in length, but well worth your time to hear if you are a sidewalk counselor or interested in becoming one. Simply click the play button below to listen.

National Sidewalk Counseling Symposium

from Eric Scheidler, Executive Director

Pro-Life Action League

It's hard to think of any pro-life work more important than sidewalk counseling -- standing outside the abortion facility and offering help to abortion-bound mothers.

Yet sidewalk counseling comes with many challenges: loneliness, uncooperative police, nasty clinics escorts, and even bad weather, to name a few.

That's why an event like the National Sidewalk Counseling Symposium is so important -- and why I jumped at the chance to co-host this year's symposium in Chicago July 24-25.

This event is a great opportunity to learn about sidewalk counseling, fellowship with other counselors, and learn how to sharpen your skills from experts with decades of experience.

Here's a link with all the details about the symposium:

At the symposium, you'll hear from:

• David Bereit of 40 Days for Life 
• Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life
• Edmund Miller of Guadalupe Partners 
• my parents Ann and Joe Scheidler, and more.

I'll even be giving a talk on creative ways sidewalk counselors can do more with their presence at the abortion facility.

The cost of the symposium is just $50, a huge value for a two-day event like this.

Whether you're a seasoned sidewalk counseling veteran, or just getting started with this important pro-life witness, you won't want to miss this inspiring event.
