  • 11:21: Is it better to have no restrictions on abortion rather than legislation with some restrictions but many exceptions?
  • 15:10 Is it right to use a candidate’s position on abortion as a litmus test as to whether or not you would support them politically?
  • 16:37: Should you talk about abortion in church?
  • 20:02: Is it right to give money to organizations that, while they do some good, support abortion providers like Planned Parenthood?
