Panel 4: The Politics of It All
Please be patient while video loads. |
The abortion debate—long described as the third rail of American politics—has tended to dominate public discourse on such issues as pregnancy prevention and family planning, and many more as well. However, an increasing number of politicians are now talking openly about pregnancy prevention as a way to reduce the need for abortion. Is a new day dawning? Is there reason to be optimistic that the politics surrounding the issues being discussed today can realign?
