Commusings: Abortion Stories in Greyscale by Schuyler Grant

Stories about abortion are filed in the library of most families — legal, illegal, secret, tinged with relief or with regret. In this episode, Schuyler's mother shares the story of her two abortions, and Schuyler shares her experience of an appointment that came... and went. In a society that has made pro-choice or pro-life a black and white decision, this episode embraces the reality that abortion is non-binary – “not composed of or involving just two things.” In the greyscale, degrees of truth emerge, and maybe (just maybe) a middle path reveals itself. Commusings is where we take a moment to think deeply about spirituality, philosophy, and culture.
