As abortion debates have turned black-and-white, Aspen Baker advocates being “pro-voice” — listening respectfully and compassionately to all kinds of experiences.

As abortion debates have turned black-and-white, Aspen Baker advocates being “pro-voice” — listening respectfully and compassionately to all kinds of experiences.

Abortion is extremely common. In America, for example, one in three women will have an abortion in their lifetime, yet the strong emotions sparked by the topic — and the highly politicized rhetoric around it — leave little room for thoughtful, open debate. In this personal, thoughtful talk, Aspen Baker makes the case for being neither “pro-life” nor “pro-choice” but rather “pro-voice” — and for the roles that listening and storytelling can play when it comes to discussing difficult topics.

Aspen Baker:

Why does a woman’s choice not fit in a neat category?

Why are Listening and Storytelling crucial?

Pro-Voice Pledge: “I pledge to be pro-voice in my everyday life by listening openly, speaking personally, and connecting respectfully about abortion and other stigmatized experiences.

Please see the link above Aspen Baker’s TED Talk. Prepare fifteen (15) six-word sentences to explain the vocabulary of Pro-Voice. What does this vocabulary teach you? How does it cope with incommensurable values?
