Common Ground Without Compromise

Most conversations we have about abortion are difficult. That's if we engage in them at all. What if you had the tools to start the conversation and make it productive? Common Ground Without Compromise encourages you to create discussion about abortion even with those who disagree. It focuses on twenty-five questions most people (pro-choice and pro-life) answer in a similar way. This foundation of common ground provides a safe atmosphere for people on all sides of the issue to clarify their views, listen to alternate perspectives, and even change their minds. Written to both sides of the debate, this book will help you develop your view of abortion or advocate for your position within the context of friendly dialogue.

Steve Wagner has spent hundreds of hours in dialogue with college students about abortion and human rights on over 30 major university campuses in Canada and across the United States. In addition to making the pro-life case to those who disagree, Steve specializes in training students to engage their campuses in large-scale discussion on abortion. Frustrated by shallow stereotypes and disrespectful activism in the seemingly endless abortion debate, Steve passionately works to build common ground and make a reasonable and clear case for the pro-life position. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Southern California and is currently studying philosophy at Talbot School of Theology.
