Not so long ago, I wrote about the Abortion Talks. When the abortion debate became violent in Massachusetts, six women leaders on both sides came together to find a way to talk. They did, for more than half a decade.
The series chronicling the Abortion Talks and the situation around them is now on Prime Video and Apple TV. You can see it here.
What’s interesting is that the women found little common ground. In fact, they might be firmer in their viewpoints now. But they built genuine friendships and understanding. It’s a powerful lesson not only for America, but for the world.
Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
