Juan Callejas
An interview of Juan Callejas by Christopher Mann
​August 3, 2022
​For decades, abortion rights supporters have charged pro-lifers with being more pro-pregnancy than pro-life, and in the wake of the fall of Roe versus Wade this past June, this argument has been elevated to a shrill. Some on the right have responded with ample evidence of both word and deed to the contrary, with plenty of receipts to make the point that pro-lifers annually invest much time and treasure in being both pro-life before and after birth. 

Still, is there a kernel of truth in the critique? Is the pro-life movement as pro-life as it can possibly be? Can we receive a critique without feeling vulnerable to a canard?  

Juan Callejas is a Guatemalan businessman and astute student of culture. Juan and Chris met this summer in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at a colloquium sponsored by the Acton Institute, a catholic-protestant Christian think tank studying how free market economics impacts human liberty. Juan was raised and educated in Guatemala and earned an MBA from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He identifies as an evangelical Christian and offers a unique perspective as a person who was raised in Guatemala and frequently speaks and consults to clients in the United States. In Guatemala, abortion was illegal for all reasons until 1973, when life of the mother was added as an exception. In 1985, the country’s constitution was rewritten to more permanently codify the pro-life position.
​
Today, Juan talks about how a country can become more pro-life, and how that starts with the church.

Jason Shanks, President of Our Sunday Visitor Institute in Huntington, Indiana
Picture
Today our guest is Jason Shank, who serves as president of the Our Sunday Visitor Institute in Huntington, a small community in north central Indiana. Founded in Our Sunday Visitor is an organization that evades easy description. It’s a publishing house, university, consulting group, retail giant, grants foundation, and think tank all under one roof. The part that seems to most resemble a think tank is the Our Sunday Visitor Institute, and Jason has headed that department since 2020 when he moved his wife and family of five to northeast Indiana. Chris Mann recorded this conversation with Jason at a local restaurant, so you will have to forgive the sounds of clanging dishes and Tom Petty playing in the background, but pay attention to what Jason is getting at regarding his hope for a pro-life movement in the wake of the fall of Roe versus Wade just a month ago, which returned abortion regulation back to the fifty states. Jason hopes that the pro-life movement won’t waste time spiking the football and gloating about this legal win, but instead move into a renewed zeal for high care of our vulnerable neighbors. If you feel a bit uncomfortable by the end of this conversation about who he might be talking about, well, that’s probably his point. Jason is calling the pro-life movement to consider how to exceed some of the generous pro-family policies ironically championed among the most pro-abortion businesses and institutions like Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and more. Jason’s thinking is unconventional, but what else would you expect from the head of a think tank?

Cathie Humbarger
Today our guest is Cathie Humbarger, a veteran pro-life leader in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is the founder of Reprotection, a pro-life organization that helps state-level law enforcement properly enforce abortion regulations which can go unmonitored or ignored by abortion-friendly politicians and state agencies. Learn more at www.Reprotection.org. In the Hoosier state, Cathie is a unique player in the pro-life cause because she actively serves in both the ministry side of serving moms, dads, and babies, and she also crosses swords with politicians. Usually, activists gravitate toward either the hard work of mercy, patience, and service to women facing abortion decisions, or the hard work of political and legal battles.
​
But Cathie Humbarger does both and therefore offers a unique perspective on what we may face as a pro-life movement in the wake of the fall of Roe versus Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that created a right to legal abortion on demand. The ruling was overturned last week, and now returns the question of legality to the states. An estimated 26 states will likely have pro-life laws on the books that will protect all or most babies from conception until natural death, while the balance of the 24 states will protect legal abortion to varying degrees.

Today, he is at CareNet to spearhead something similar, where men "return" to the both the birth and raising decisions for his child--a decision too often left for a scared woman to face alone.

As human as you and me, by Christopher Mann

Life's Intrinsic vs. Utilitarian Worth

By Christopher Mann for In Business For Life
​If you were born without an arm, would you be an "almost human?" How about a brain? One of the central beauties of the Christian witness in history is its primacy on mercy. Since the time of Rome when Christians would rescue abandoned babies to the present day where Christians adopt abused, neglected and disabled children from far-away lands, this is one of the most potent weapons of the church -- the refusal to value life on the altar of utility. 

In Business For Life salutes Brandon and Brittany Buell, parents of Jaxton who was born in 2014 with a rare brain malformation known as microhydranencephaly. Much of Jaxon's brain failed to form, leaving him significantly impaired, but the Buell's have chosen to value their son not on the scales of how useful he is in the world's eyes, but according to his intrinsic value as an image of God.

If the picture of little Jaxon prompts you to recoil in grief, welcome to the crowd; anybody with a pulse and an ounce of mercy in his heart will grieve over a condition like Jaxon's. But IBFL sends kudos to the Buell family and to David Wright at ABC News (@WrightUps)for filming and airing this important report on how Brand and Brittany are doing what parents do -- daily falling deeper in love with their son.
The Buell family have a GoFundMe.com campaign to help cover Jaxon's medical expenses.

​In Business For Life salutes 
Leanne and Chris Duffield for bravely declining easy options and pursuing life for their 23 week-old premie. This has special significance for me, as my wife and I lost our first baby, Spencer, in 1996 due to his premature birth at 23 weeks. It is wonderful to see stories like this emerging, kind of like athletes who were pursuing the four minute mile; what was was "impossible" is increasingly becoming possible, if only we change our perspective and governing assumptions.
