During the Reverse Q&A event at Dartmouth College, we asked participants to generate claims and vote on which ones they wanted to engage. One interesting claim was: “My body, my choice” should be consistent for vaccines and abortion.

The four participants come at the claim from different positions and eventually question the validity of pairing abortion and vaccinations. Vaccines are characterized both as a simple pin prick and as a potentially deadly treatment. Abortions are characterized both as an action that causes no harm and as the termination of a life. While these disparate opinions are common, they take on new meaning when paired.

This conversation was filmed at Dartmouth College on May 4, 2022.
