Why is Planned Parenthood Running From the “Pro-Choice” Label?

We’re super excited about this episode, because we think it’s the best roundtable discussion we’ve recorded in a long time.

Megan Almon from Life Training Institute joins us to discuss the recent Planned Parenthood ad that distances itself from the labels “pro-life” and “pro-choice.” While pro-life bloggers discussed the ad when it came out, I felt like we had some unique perspectives to contribute.

Discussion topics include the main problems with the argument in the ad, the weaknesses of labels in general, the importance of not stereotyping people and the question of whether moral neutrality is possible on abortion. I close the show with questions for both sides of the abortion debate to consider.
