Final class update
Thank you and thanks be to God for another great year! I'm thankful to be saying goodbye on a high note in spite of the crazy state of the world. Once we get settled I'll be working in earnest on continuing the classes online. I'll touch base with you when I have something more solid to share on that.
Meanwhile, here's what we covered at our last class.
Part 1: Student responses / debates
The class will meet next Sunday, May 24.
This will be our final class meeting. We'll wrap up on Pro-Life Apologetics and also answer as many of your questions as we have time for. If you haven't sent me yours yet, please do so soon.
Last time, we did a quick review of the Ten Universal Principles, and briefly considered reasons why people might be pro-abortion. For a powerful analysis of the mindset from someone who has been there, please see Jen Fulwiler's article.
The class then practiced applying the principles we have learned this year to respond to a set of common arguments for abortion.

When will the next class meeting be?
I had originally scheduled it for May 10, but then realized that that is Mothers' Day. Please reply to let me know whether that class date will work. If not, we will push it out by another week to May 17.
Last time, we read and discussed Act 4, the last act of Robert & Emma. Thank you to Kayla, Max, and all the other students who have participated in dramatizing the play for our class!
In this act, "Final Choices," which takes place 10 years later, we learn that Emma's husband Jason has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and is considering assisted suicide. A distraught Emma comes to her friend Robert, now an oncologist, for help.
