REINVENTING THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT
This foundational educational seminar helps leaders develop a comprehensive strategic plan for pro-life activism at the community level. Special emphasis is placed on vocational pro-life leadership in lieu of the traditional avocation approach. We examine important aspects of the execution phase of a strategic plan with seven functional areas: Public Education, Resource Development, Church Conversion & Activation, Crisis Pregnancy Care Delivery, Economic Boycotts, Legal Services and Political Action.

SUPPORT RAISING TRAINING
The pro-life movement is losing this fight, in part, because there are more people working full time to kill babies than there are working full time to save them. This 3 day seminar teaches pro-life activists to raise the financial support required to do full-time professional pro-life work. We have developed a personal support raising program, utilizing the most effective principles of national ministries. CBR has trained hundreds of aspiring pro-life professionals across the country, of which growing numbers are now doing pro-life work full time.  

CONVINCING THE SKEPTICAL LISTENER
CBR offers this one day seminar which examines the principal ways in which pro-life activists can become more effective in communicating our perspective on the full spectrum of bio-ethical issues to "audiences" of one or more persons, through:

1. Preparation
We train participants to avoid the common error of asserting conclusions instead of stating facts. In recognition of our increasingly visual culture, we have compiled an extensive, user-friendly seminar manual which doesn’t merely cite an authoritative source in a footnote, but gives you the relevant portions of actual documents which state the facts from which our arguments need to be derived.

2. Visual Aids
We stress the need to avoid the dual pitfalls of failing to use visual aids at all for fear of alienating your audience, or using them insensitively and making your tactics the issue. This seminar will train you to adequately prepare your audience for even the most graphic of visual aids, thereby enormously enhancing your effectiveness. (Special emphasis on use of a new embryoscopy video series which is distributed by an abortion-neutral organization, plus CBR’s powerful video, Choice Blues.)

3. Documentation
When listeners groan with incredulity at your assertion that abortion is lawful through all 9 months of pregnancy, we’ll train you to turn in the manual to the Yellow Page advertisements placed by abortion clinics offering third trimester abortions. End of argument. Next issue. When you explain that woman who terminate pregnancies may be 50% more likely to contract breast cancer by age 45 than women who have never aborted, you can hold up the medical study itself.

4. Speaking Outlines
Insightful outlines and "how-to" instructions for the formulation of effective secular and sectarian presentations of all kinds are provided. An analysis of the reasons that most speakers’ bureaus fail is included.

HOW CHRISTIAN TEENS CAN HELP STOP THE KILLING
This CBR seminar is designed for high school and college age students, teaching them the basic facts about abortion, plus training them how to:

1. Give a compelling pro-life presentation in class or club settings
2. Help a friend in a crisis pregnancy
3. Start a campus pro-life club
4. Educate their youth group about its biblical responsibility to fight injustices such as abortion
CBR condemns all abortion related violence and will not associate with groups or individuals who fail to condemn such violence.
