According to some estimates, 1/4 of women in the United States have had an abortion before the age of 45. If you’re pro-life and are arguing against abortion, there’s a good chance that the person you’re talking to has either had an abortion or encouraged someone else to and could feel attacked by your comments. This makes abortion a more difficult and emotional topic than most. That’s why I asked Jessica Green, who had an abortion in her teen years but came to be pro-life, to join me to discuss how to have more productive and sensitive conversations about abortion.
Jessica Green is the co-host of The Mad Ones podcast. Her Twitter handle is @soupcanarchist.
