The holidays are fast approaching, and so are family gatherings. That means it's likely that tensions may rise as someone brings up abortion while passing the mashed potatoes.

We're not ones to shy away from a conversation or an opportunity to open someone's mind on sexual and reproductive rights. So in preparation, we put together a guide on how to have meaningful conversations about abortion.

Here's how to talk about abortion!
plannedparenthood.org/learn

Find common values and common ground: Connect to the personal experiences and values we all share.

It's personal: People agree that the decision to have an abortion is personal and no one else's should have a say in that decision, especially the government.

Just the facts: Show, don't tell. Use facts and be specific. Don't exaggerate or use hyperbolic language.

Remember, we can't win back our rights if we stay silent. Having meaningful conversations like these with people in your life who have differing views get us closer and closer every day with each mind, and heart, we change.
