Summary

As you’ll hear in this short letter from me to you, I am a little nervous about next week’s episode. It’s a conversation between a pro-life conservative named April Lawson and a pro-liberal liberal (named Kelly Corrigan). I wanted to take a minute before the episode hits the feed to explain why I did this and to ask you for a wide berth, both for me and for my guest, as we dare to let down our guards and have a heart to heart about reproductive rights. It’s our attempt to model respectful conversations where the differences are vast.

0:00.0	Hi everybody.
0:05.0	This short segment is what we call for the good of the order.
0:11.0	It's something we used to do at the end of my sorority meetings, if you can believe that,
0:15.0	where someone would share something that they came across in the course of the week, a poem, a song lyric, a short story, that they found enormously helpful as they went about daily life.

0:31.8	that I want to bring back and hand off to you.
0:34.0	So every Friday we produce a short segment called for the good of the order.
0:39.0	Think of it like an audio greeting card, a thing to share with the people that you love around the country
0:45.2	who you don't get to see or talk to enough. A thing to discuss with the people you do see and talk to
0:51.4	on a more regular basis.
0:53.5	This is Kelly Corrigan Wonders for the good of the order. This week's go-to is the most unusual go-to we've ever done. This is a letter from me to
1:20.0	you about an upcoming episode that I am a little nervous about.
1:25.0	Dear listener, that's you.
1:28.0	Next Tuesday, we are releasing an unusual conversation
1:32.0	about abortion and reproductive rights between two women with opposite
1:37.0	positions.
1:39.0	One, April Lawson, she's a pro-life conservative and she's a very new friend of mine.
1:44.0	And two, me, a pro-choice liberal.
1:48.0	If you've caught any of the recent episodes, you know that we've been looking at rupture and repair from
1:54.0	lots of different angles, marriage and family, political, personal,
1:58.6	religious and secular. Each conversation has been so full of good sound advice on how to have the hardest
2:06.4	conversations and it seemed like the only honest way to end this five-part series was to try out the best practices myself and to try it out
