In this episode, I revisit the conversation on abortion, specifically in the United States, given the implementation of the Texas Heartbeat Act, otherwise known as the abortion ban in the State of Texas. In this deep dive I am prioritizing a fact-based discussion, and ask that the audience try to suspend feelings of anger and anguish, in an effort to promote a productive dialogue. This is challenging, and I can understand that, but if we are led exclusively by anger and raw emotion, we are not able to effectively address the issue at hand, nor prioritize those impacted by it.
