We want to welcome you to join us on our podcast to discuss the issue of abortion. Learn more here:
Some caveats: The majority of Americans recognize a woman’s right to an abortion within some limits, and that is the group we seek the engage. This conversation is not for people who are entrenched. If you think abortion is murder, we respect your position, but this conversation is not for you. If you believe abortion is an absolute right that should have no restrictions whatsoever, we respect your position, but this conversation is not for you.
Many people believe abortion should be legal in cases of rape or incest. Would that alter the point in a pregnancy when abortion no longer should be permitted? Should an amendment to the Ohio constitution be this specific? Should the amendment be so precise that anti-abortion lawmakers cannot pass laws to restrict it beyond the will of the voters? Or should the amendment be vague, recognizing a woman’s right to abortion but leaving it to lawmakers to set the rules?
I’ll host, to moderate the discussion, and I’ll be joined by Laura Johnston, one of our podcast regulars, whose role will be engaging with guests and reflecting on their contributions. We also hope to do some live polling of the guests, to see if we find consensus, and Laura will be handling that software.
