Pro-Life or Pro-Choice? (Round 2) | Common Ground Conversations, Ep. 14

We ask the important but controversial questions, then try to find common ground. Our mission is to promote proactive sense-making and productive dialogue.

In this episode, we attended two separate pro-life rallies (Sydney and Melbourne) as well as a pro-choice counter-protest (Melbourne).
