Description
Summary:
"Politicians continue to exploit the issue of abortion to energize their 'base', and media are drawn to the noise and excess found at the fringes - generating only more heat as battle lines and stereotypes are further reinforced. It offers a safe space, where people with opposing views can meet to better understand the deep concerns of the other. This hour-long documentary defuses the abortion issue and changes the tone as activists on both sides, legal experts, leading religious thinkers, college and seminary students, and women who have personally faced the abortion dilemma, all bring surprising new insights into territory we often run away from because it is so fraught with tension, prejudice, shame and fear"--Container.
