Summary - What Will it Take For Women to Choose Life with
Emily Berning


https://letthemlive.org/ 


What would it look like for us to take seriously the reasons
women give for getting abortions? Some of the loudest prolifers
believe that considering reasons why women get abortions will
somehow give credence to the pro-choice cause, and thus the
legality of abortion. Some of the loudest prochoicers believe
women aren’t exercising their agency if they aren’t choosing
abortion.


There are numerous unintended consequences for this, not the
least of which is the overwhelming sense that the abortion debate
is entirely intractable. But what if we decided to listen? What
if women seeking abortion were behaving rationally?


What if they don’t see abortion as an exercise of free choice,
but of no other choice? What if political pundits and fringe
extremists do not speak for women with unplanned pregnancies?


What if by listening we Let Them Live?


Join me, Kerry Baldwin with Emily Berning, as we Dare to Think
about what it will take for women to choose life.
