Abortion is such a controversial issue, most of us avoid discussing it for fear of ending up in an angry debate. Plus, few of us are open to changing our minds about abortion access, so what’s the point of talking about it with people who disagree? In this episode of the podcast, we’ll learn how to talk about abortion and why it’s crucial that we do, even if there’s no chance of finding common ground. We’ll explore the amazing story of The Abortion Talks – when, during a particularly violent period in Boston in the 1990s, three pro-choice leaders and three pro-life leaders began meeting in secret. Their dialogue on abortion rights continued for nearly six years. None of the women changed their views on abortion. But the conversations changed their lives and the tone of the abortion debate nationwide.
In this episode we'll talk about the first chapter of Matthew and Luke, which contains stories related to the Savior's nativity. We'll talk specifically about the visit of the angel Gabriel to Mary, Joseph, and Zacharias. Each of them had questions associated with the angel's message, and each of them found different ways to deal with the answer. We'll talk about the importance of asking questions as a means of developing faith and making spiritual progress. We'll also talk about how asking questions is critical to our mental health progress, including being confident enough to seek additional information or second opinions regarding mental health treatment.
