Abortion is a hot topic in public, and an uncomfortable one in private. While politicians pontificate and citizens express entrenched opinions in polls and the voting booth, honest abortion conversations between family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors seems surprisingly rare. Bioethicist and lawyer Katie Watson wants to flip that equation. With Scarlet A: The Ethics, Law, and Politics of Ordinary Abortion, Watson aims to spur more substantive and normalized private conversations about our personal histories, policy opinions, and feelings of ambivalence or clarity on abortion ethics. The Nation columnist and author Katha Pollitt joins Watson for a dialogue creating more honest, respectful, and robust public conversations about this complex and misunderstood subject.
