Abstract

College campuses tend to nurture intractable positions on abortion, and students feel pressured not to critique the campus position, whether pro-abortion or anti-abortion.

We have a responsibility as educators to model such experiences and foster them in our classrooms. Two dimensions of the conversation that need a great deal of care and cultivation are the role of rationality and the role of emotion in high-stakes moral discussions.
