We approach the abortion debate as both a settled and taboo topic. We know what we know about it, what we feel about it, and we know why. What if much of what we know about the debate is wrong? In a personally transparent and historically insightful talk, former missionary, master storyteller and Black breastfeeding champion Khadija Garrison Adams talks about the ways that fear of pregnancy impacts people who aren't unmarried young adults, unpacks how our understanding of the pro-life movement is based on a faulty version of its history and how it's origin story is ripe for building a third way in the conversation - a way that could be led by a group ignored by pro-life and pro-choice champions - The Black Church.
