Our Next Crossing Party Lines Discussion:

TUE, May 21 · 7:00 PM EDT

Abortion

Details

Abortion remains a deeply contentious issue in the United States marked by passionate discussions and fierce political battles. Proponents argue that women should have the right to make decisions about their own bodies, including whether to terminate a pregnancy, citing issues of bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. They emphasize access to safe and legal abortion services to protect women's health and ensure equality. On the other hand, opponents view the issue in terms of the rights of the unborn baby, contending that life begins at conception and should be protected. They raise moral, ethical, and religious objections to abortion, advocating for legal restrictions and alternatives such as adoption.

At this meeting we will be discussing this issue, including:

• Which side of this debate are you on?
• What do folks on the “other side” not understand about your views on abortion?
• Have you seen this debate shift over the years? If so, how?
• Where do you draw the line between a “woman's right to choose” and the “rights of the unborn”?
• What role, if any, should the government play in regulating abortion access?
• Does the level of governmental or societal support for raising children impact your opinion of this issue?

And for those who are interested and involved in our Skill Building Club, you can also think of this topic in terms of Moral Foundations. And share with the group:

• What moral foundations(s) hold weight for you in this debate?
• What moral foundations(s) do you think hold weight for your opponents in this debate?
• How do we balance the opposing values and concerns?
