    Description: This is a counter intuitive idea that might not land for everyone but deserved to be shared for group consideration.

    Authors: [email protected] (Kelly Corrigan)

    Description: As you’ll hear in this short letter from me to you, I am a little nervous about next week’s episode. It’s a conversation between a pro-life conservative named April Lawson and a pro-choice liberal (named Kelly Corrigan). I wanted to take a minute before the episode hits the feed to explain why I did this and to ask you for a wide berth, both for me and for my guest, as we dare to let down our guards and have a heart to heart about reproductive rights. It’s our attempt to model respectful conversations where the differences are vast. Special thanks to the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations for their generous support of this series.
