I have had currently practicing abortionists visit with me on various occasions. There certainly is, if we properly understand its context and avoid two extremes. The context of dialogue is first of all the great dialogue of salvation which God has with His people and which the Church has with the world. God takes the initiative in offering His people the gift of salvation. The Church, missionary by her very nature, takes the initiative in presenting the Gospel to the world and inviting all nations to freely respond.
Dialogue is rooted in the dignity of the human person.
It acknowledges that despite a person's views or behavior, that person has human dignity. The partner is seen as one willing and capable of seeking what is good and true, and reasoning together. In considering dialogue, two extreme positions need to be avoided. The first is the idea that dialogue is useless or is a betrayal of the pro-life cause. It is not useless, however.
