Chris: hello Bridget~
Bridget: Where should we start?
Chris: I see the instruction above. I guess we can talk about abortion.
Guide: Chris, since you mentioned the topic, could you start by explaining why you agree that abortion should be available without restrictions in all or almost all cases? This could help set the foundation for our discussion.Chris: Yes, I feel woman should have access to abortion if they want it. It shouldn't be restricted.
Chris: It's a choice they have. Their body their choice.
Bridget: I sort of agree. I just feel like past a certain point it shouldn't be allowed
Bridget: I do feel like if the woman was a victim of rape or incest it should be legal.
Chris: Yeah I can see some validity in that at certain point it falls into that gray area
Guide: Bridget, thank you for sharing your perspective. You mentioned that past a certain point, abortion shouldn't be allowed. Could you elaborate on what you consider that point to be, and why you believe restrictions should apply after that? This might help us understand the nuances of your position better.Bridget: I am a woman, and I get what you are saying about a woman's body, their choice. But, at the same time, it was her choice to be careless and get pregnant. That could be easily prevented.
Chris: I think even with anti abortion the women wouldn't really change their ways.
Bridget: I understand what you are saying.
Chris: It seems like with abortion being illegal in some states, they don't really care about the woman's life.
Guide: Chris, you raised an interesting point about the potential impact of anti-abortion laws. Could you expand on why you believe women wouldn't change their behavior if abortion were restricted, and what implications you think this might have for society?Chris: Certain woman in society have a certain lifestyle. They aren't going to change just because abortion is illegal. If anything they would just find some other ways to get an abortion. We already have people going across states lines.
Bridget: I understand that. I think for me its just a moral choice in the way I was raised. I would consider putting the baby up for adoption if I was unable to raise them.
Chris: Yeah I respect that. I understand your perspective too.
Guide: Bridget, thank you for sharing your personal perspective. It's clear that your moral background plays a significant role in your views. Given that you mentioned adoption as an alternative, how do you weigh the potential challenges of pregnancy and giving a child up for adoption against the option of abortion?Bridget: I think there are pros and cons in everything. A woman can get pregnant and have an abortion and never think about it again. Or she could have an abortion and live in regret the rest of her life, especially if she goes on to have children later in life.
Bridget: The same goes for putting a child up for adoption. You can regret it later too. But you still gave the child a life, you didnt take it away
Chris: How about if the obgyn discover early in the pregnancy that the child is missing a chromosome. This becomes a choice, would you get a abortion knowing the child and even for the parents, will have a difficult life? Or just have the birth and accept it
Chris: Expecially when children never asked to be born in the first place
Chris: since abortion is illegal, then you are force to have the child.
Bridget: Thats a tricky one. I personally would not have an abortion in that case still. But I wouldn't judge anyone who did.
Guide: Chris, you've introduced an important aspect of the abortion debate - medical considerations and quality of life issues. Could you elaborate on how you believe these factors should be weighed in the abortion decision-making process? This could help us explore the complexities of balancing personal choice, medical ethics, and societal implications.Bridget: I think its just me personally, I would never be able to have an abortion. But I know people who have and I don't hold it against them or anything.
Chris: Well, everyone wants a healthy baby obviously. There are test that can be done in early stages into the pregnacy that can determine if the child for example would have down syndrome. To a certain degree, it's not fair for the child being born.
Bridget: On that note....
Bridget: My boyfriends daughter had that test done and was told that her child may have down syndrome. She was very upset and went back and forth on what to do. End of the day, the test was wrong and she has a healthy 1 1/2 year old baby girl right now.
Chris: Also, when its discovered when the mother's life might be endanger too, you would still have to go through with it. instead of aborting it.
Bridget: BUT, It would have been her choice and I would have accepted either way
Guide: Bridget, thank you for sharing that personal story. It highlights an important point about the potential inaccuracy of prenatal testing. Chris, you've also brought up the critical issue of maternal health risks. Given these complex scenarios, I'd like to ask you both a question that might help us find some common ground:Do you think there are any circumstances where both of you would agree that abortion should be legally permitted? If so, what are they?Bridget: I agree that if the mother is in danger, something needs to be done.
Chris: oh, that's awesome. congrats on your granddaughter
Chris: Yes. I agree with that rape or incest should be acceptable
Chris: Or maybe if the person is super young or something.
Guide: Thank you both for finding that common ground. It's clear you both agree that there are at least some circumstances where abortion should be permitted, such as when the mother's life is in danger, in cases of rape or incest, and potentially for very young individuals.Chris, you mentioned the situation of very young individuals. Could you expand on why you think age might be a factor to consider in abortion decisions? This could help us explore the intersection of age, maturity, and reproductive rights.Bridget, given that you've agreed with these exceptions, how do you reconcile these allowances with your personal moral stance against abortion? This might help us understand the nuances of your position better.Bridget: I think maybe my personal stance, is just that. Personal for me. What anyone else does is their decision. I dont have to like it, but its their decision.
Chris: There body cannot handle it. I'm talking like those younger girls under 15ish. They aren't develop yet to carry on a full pregnancy.
Bridget: Agree Chris
Guide: Thank you both for your thoughtful responses. I'd like to highlight an interesting point of convergence in your views. Bridget, you've expressed a personal moral stance against abortion while acknowledging that others may make different choices. Chris, you've consistently advocated for abortion access while recognizing certain circumstances where it might be especially necessary.For our final question: Given the common ground you've found, how do you think society should balance personal moral views with legal policy regarding abortion?ÂBridget: I think the government should stay out of it. I guess, I think every woman should have a choice, BUT they should be thoroughly educated on every option they have out there. Also I think they should be given much more education on preventing pregnancy.
Chris: Definitely find a common ground somewhere. it's a tough issue and it seem that either way poeple will still be unsatisfied.
Bridget: yep
Guide: Thank you both for your insightful final thoughts. You've highlighted some crucial points:Chris: It was fun
Chris: I enjoyed it
Bridget: it was
Bridget: Thank you
Chris: Likewise, thx
Guide: I'm glad you both enjoyed the discussion! Thank you for your participation and for sharing your perspectives so openly. Your willingness to engage in respectful dialogue on such a complex topic is commendable. As we come to a close, I want to express my appreciation for the thoughtful and nuanced conversation you've had. You've shown that it's possible to discuss controversial topics with mutual respect and find areas of common ground, even when personal views differ.Bridget: Have a good night
Chris: Thanks. u too
Bridget: Thanks
Bridget: If only our politicians could agree and compromise lol
Chris: maybe one day...
Bridget: yep, maybe so
Kai: Hey Samuel
Kai: If you don't mind, could you start with your argument?
Samuel: To be honest i don't have a very strong opinion on the election. However i believe it was rigged.
Guide: Kai, Samuel has shared his initial view that the election was rigged, though he admits to not having a strong opinion. Could you explain why you believe the 2020 election was fair and secure? This might help us understand both perspectives better and get the conversation rolling.Kai: In the sense that it was rigged in the Democrat's favor?
Samuel: Big tech also played it's part
Samuel: Yes in the democrats favor
Kai: Big tech definitely plays a part in influencing public perception, but I generally felt like that it favored the Republicans. Platforms like Facebook definitely leaned a lot more conservative
Guide: Samuel, you've mentioned big tech's role and a bias toward Democrats. Could you elaborate on how you believe big tech influenced the election in favor of the Democrats? Specific examples would be helpful to understand your perspective better.Kai: Not to mention, generally big companies favor Republican policies for bigger tax breaks and less regulation.
Samuel: I'm not exactly sure i agree with that. Over the years the big tech, the media, and a lot of other guys have been against the republlicans, more specifically against Trump
Samuel: We still see it in play till today
Kai: Hmm, if you don't mind, I'd like to list off some of the big players and their general stance. Feel free to disagree though.
Guide: Kai, that's a good approach to break down the discussion. Before you do that, let's pause for a moment. Samuel, you've mentioned a perceived bias against Republicans and Trump specifically. Can you provide any specific examples of how this bias manifested in the 2020 election? This could help us understand your perspective more clearly and give Kai something concrete to respond to.Samuel: Okay go ahead
Kai: Facebook—accused of and I believe ran more conservative ads in comparison to liberal ones.
Kai: Twitter—well obviously acquired by Musk who has outright pledged financial support to Trump now. Plus banning Democrat fund-raising campaign (White Guys for Harris—was the name I believe) and promoted that deepfake of Harris.
Kai: CNN—actually bought out by a conservative a few years back and have generally started leaning more towards the right.
Kai: And in general, I feel like all the media painted Biden as being old and senile, despite Trump being only 3 years younger than him and going on far more unhinged rants (like the crazy grandpa at thanksgiving dinner)
Kai: Sorry if it seems like I went on a rant, just trying to list off some of the big points I can recall directly.
Samuel: I can't really say much about the Facebook
Samuel: Twitter didn't belong to Elon during the last elections
Kai: True—Twitter at the time was more liberal leaning. But since then it's definitely pivoted.
Samuel: The media painting Biden as old and senile and not Trump isn't really a propaganda as we could all see Biden showing it
Kai: Though I will say, Twitter has been a cesspool for as long as I can remember.
Guide: Kai, you've provided several examples of what you see as conservative-leaning or Republican-favoring media influences. Samuel, you've acknowledged some uncertainty about Facebook but pointed out that Twitter's current ownership wasn't in place during the 2020 election. You've also suggested that the portrayal of Biden as "old and senile" isn't propaganda but based on observable behavior.Samuel, given that you believe the election was rigged in the Democrats' favor, what specific actions or events do you think contributed to this beyond media influence? For instance, were there aspects of the voting process itself that you found concerning?Samuel: Also, I believe the Biden case is more personal, the democrats also wanted Biden to be painted as such to allow for them to push Kamala
Kai: Hmm, on that front I feel like it's rather split. About half the prominent Democrats I've seen have argued for Biden, while the more "establishment" based Democrats begun the talks in the background about Biden stepping down.
Kai: I honestly believe Biden would have continued if the initial debate against Trump had gone well and if he hadn't caught COVID again at his age.
Kai: As for Biden being senile, he definitely has shown signs of age, but I have to say Trump has shown the exact same. He's just boisterous and loud, so he doesn't come off as old. But Trump has definitely mixed up people as much as Biden has, and struggles to put together coherent sentences when you actually listen to what he says.
Samuel: Well i personally don't believe it was covid, i think it's something more of a brain/memory issue but i obviously can't say for sure
Guide :Samuel, you've mentioned concerns about Biden's mental state. How do you think this affected the election's fairness or security? Kai, your thoughts on both candidates showing signs of age are interesting. Let's refocus on the 2020 election itself.Kai: Just to clarify, when I say Biden caught COVID, I'm talking about 3 weeks ago.
Samuel: Well that is kind of true
Kai: As for the 2020 election, the biggest argument I've seen from the Republican side is that it's rigged because of mail in voting and early voting.
Guide: Kai, thanks for bringing up mail-in and early voting. Samuel, what are your thoughts on these voting methods? Do you see them as potential issues in the 2020 election?Kai: However, since then, the Republicans have pivoted and encouraged their voters to go out and do said early/mail voting (despite having waged a media campaign against said methods), so it really just feels disingenuous.
Kai: Not to mention, the only places they ever contested the vote were in locations they lost. As opposed to checking every location.
Kai: Plus, all of the court cases (Hey Guide... how many court cases pertaining to rigged 2020 elections occurred?) came up with no real evidence of rigging.
Guide: Thanks for sharing, Kai. To answer your question: Over 60 lawsuits challenging the 2020 election results were filed, with nearly all dismissed or dropped due to lack of evidence.Samuel, what's your take on these legal challenges and their outcomes?Samuel: Let me first point out that that was a really good way to use Guide
Kai: ty, I appreciate that.
Samuel: The republicans encouraging their voters to do something that will help then towards winning should not come as a surprise. If you opponent is able to exploit an opportunity and you call for it to be fixed without it being fixed, you're likely to tend towards using it also
Guide: Samuel, thanks for acknowledging that use of Guide. Given what you've said about Republicans adopting mail-in voting, do you still see it as a factor in the 2020 election being unfair? If so, how?Samuel: And you really don't expect them to contest places where they lost
Kai: That's fair, I have considered that angle. But I still find it silly that they intentionally passed laws to limit the amount of places people can vote. (Hey Guide... can you confirm that laws were passed in various red-controlled states to limit voting locations)
Guide: Kai, you're correct. Several states with Republican-controlled legislatures passed laws limiting voting locations and methods after 2020. These included:Kai: Err did you mean to say contest places where they WON?
Kai: I don't expect them to do that, but it does come off as "it's only unfair when I lose"
Samuel: Yes i meant where they won sorry
Kai: No worries, I get what you meant.
Samuel: Hey Guide, can you confirm if democrat controlled legislatures did something similar?
Guide: Samuel, while some Democrat-controlled states made changes to voting laws, they generally expanded access:Kai: My closing thoughts, I found the 2020 election to be fair—at least in terms of the actual process. Media propaganda and influence is always going to be an issue on both sides (unfortunately).
Kai: It's an incredibly heavily scrutinized process, with multiple onlookers from both parties watching the situation.
Samuel: I may have to agree with you on the actual process, but i believe there was influence from big tech on many fronts
Guide: Thank you both for sharing your perspectives.In these final moments, can each of you briefly state what you've learned from this discussion about the other's viewpoint?Kai: A better idea of what concerns folks have about media influence.
Kai: Incidentally, I forgot to ask the AI earlier (Hey Guide... did Facebook limit Democrat ads during the 2020 election).
Guide: Kai, regarding Facebook's ad policies in 2020: Facebook didn't specifically limit Democrat ads. However, they did implement a policy to block new political ads in the week before the election, affecting both parties. Samuel, do you have any final thoughts on what you've learned from this discussion?Kai: Ah okay, I was wrong on that front. My bad!
Samuel: Before now i had no idea about the laws passed by republican controlled legislature towards the election. New thing learnt
Kai: Hmm might as well take advantage of the AI for a bit. (Hey Guide... when did CNN get bought out by a conservative?)
Guide: Kai, I apologize for the confusion earlier. CNN wasn't bought by a conservative. In 2022, CNN was acquired by Warner Bros. Discovery, but this didn't represent a shift to conservative ownership. CNN's editorial stance has remained largely unchanged.Thanks to both of you for this insightful discussion. It's great to see you both learned new perspectives. As we wrap up, remember that understanding different viewpoints is key to productive dialogue about complex issues like election integrity.Kai: Hey Guide...wasn't CNN acquired or at least largely influenced now by John Malone?
Guide You're right to ask for clarification, Kai. John Malone, a billionaire with conservative leanings, is a significant shareholder in Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns CNN. However, he doesn't directly control CNN's editorial decisions. His influence has been debated, but CNN maintains it operates independently. It's a complex situation without a simple conservative takeover narrative.Michelle: Hi
Steel: So, why do you think abortion should not be easily available?
Michelle: I believe killing a fetus is taking a life.
Steel: Even if killing a fetus was actually taking a life, why should a woman be forced to carry the baby to it's term?
Michelle: I don't have a problem with the morning after pill or in abortions that save the mother's life or in incest situations, but I believe prevention is better than aborting.
Guide: Steel, you raise an important point about bodily autonomy. Could you expand on why you believe a woman's right to choose should take precedence, even if we consider a fetus to be a life? This might help us understand your perspective more deeply.Steel: Shouldn't women have the right to choose? so if the morning after pill is okay. How much time is okay with you?
Michelle: I feel that if you do not want to become pregnant, then you should make sure that you use birth control. Mistakes happen but when a woman is on her third or fourth abortion, I think it's time to maybe have a discussion with her on how to prevent pregnancy rather than dealing with it after conception has already happened.
Michelle: Shouldn't the baby have a right to choose? How about the father?
Steel: The woman is responsible for carrying the baby, it's her choice. No one else's
Michelle: Again, mistakes happen. If you take precautions and say, the condom breaks, then dealing with it immediately would make sense to me.
Guide: Michelle, you've brought up some interesting points about prevention and multiple abortions. Can you elaborate on how you would balance the rights of the woman, the fetus, and the father in cases where prevention methods have failed? This might help us understand your perspective on the complexities of these situations.Michelle: I don't like the idea of aborting a fetus once the heart can be detected. When in doubt, take the morning after pill. Late term abortions are definitely out unless it risks the life of the mother or there is a detectable defect in the fetus.
Steel: I think most people are against late term abortions
Steel: unless there is a health risk to the woman
Michelle: The woman is responsible for carrying the baby but I still feel it is only fair that the father have a say in what happens to his child.
Guide: Steel, you've acknowledged some common ground regarding late-term abortions. How do you respond to Michelle's point about the father's role in the decision-making process? Do you see any circumstances where the father's input should be considered?Steel: The father, if applicable, should make a joint decision with the mother, but in the end, it's her body and her choice
Michelle: There are so many grey areas when it comes to making a decision to abort a fetus.
Steel: I think you yourself have said that abortion in cases of rape and incest are acceptable, the morning after pill is acceptable, but when the baby had a heartbeat thats where you draw the line
Guide: Michelle, you've highlighted the complexity of this issue by mentioning the "grey areas" in abortion decisions. Could you expand on some of these grey areas you see, and how they influence your view on when abortion should or shouldn't be restricted? This might help us understand the nuances in your position.Michelle: I don't like that saying, my body, my choice. It sounds very selfish to me. I guess, as a woman, if I don't want to carry a child to term, then I had better be damned sure I don't allow myself to get pregnant in the first place.
Steel: Hey Guide, at what point in time, in the fetus, does a baby start having a heartbeat?
Guide: The heartbeat typically becomes detectable around 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. However, this is a complex topic with ongoing scientific and ethical debates. Let's refocus on your perspectives.Michelle, you've expressed strong views on personal responsibility. How do you reconcile this with situations where contraception fails or circumstances change after conception?Steel, given your stance on choice, how do you respond to concerns about using abortion as a primary form of birth control?Michelle: Also a woman's choice.
Steel: I don't think abortion should be a primary form of birth control, rather sex education should be
Michelle: Changing circumstances, like the father leaving, isn't enough of a reason for me to feel abortion is the answer. I fully agree with you on sex education!
Guide: It's great to see you both agree on the importance of sex education. This is a valuable area of common ground.Michelle, you've maintained a consistent stance on personal responsibility. Can you share your thoughts on how society should support women who choose to carry pregnancies to term, especially in challenging circumstances like single parenthood?Steel: However the people in the country that want to legislate against abortion also want to get rid of sex education in many cases
Michelle: I was faced with an abortion decision once and I chose to carry my child to term and raise her on my own when her father left me. It was hard, but I couldn't imagine the pain I would have felt or the guilt I would have had to live with had I decided to end my pregnancy.
Steel: I can also think of a few reasons why a woman might want to have an abortion at some point in the middle of the term, maybe she does not have a good relationship with the father like in your case, but for example, say the mother does not have an education or support system to provide the baby a quality of life they deserve
Guide: Thank you both for sharing such personal and thoughtful perspectives. Your experiences and considerations add depth to this complex discussion.Steel, you've raised an important point about the intersection of abortion legislation and sex education. How do you think we can address the disconnect between these two issues in policy-making?Michelle, your personal experience is powerful. While recognizing that every situation is unique, how do you think your experience shapes your views on support systems for women facing unplanned pregnancies?Steel: Should a baby be forced to be born in circumstances where they will for sure have a poor, rough life
Michelle: I don't think abortion should be "illegal". But I do feel there needs to be some strict rules. For example, one abortion due to a mistake might be okay, we all make mistakes. But limit it to one.
Steel: I prefer freedom
Guide: Steel, you've raised a challenging ethical question about quality of life. Can you elaborate on how you think society should balance the potential for a difficult life against the right to life itself? This could help us understand the nuances of your position.Michelle, you've suggested a specific policy approach. How do you envision such a rule being implemented, and what do you think the potential consequences (positive or negative) might be? This could give us insight into the practical aspects of your viewpoint.Steel: in just about every context
Steel: My life isn't available to be controlled by others, and I think the same applies for all
Michelle: I moved away from home when I was 14 and was barely able to care for myself. I had an 8th grade education and no money...but I made it work. I was 18 when I got pregnant.
Michelle: I believe the father has the right to make a decision if he wants to keep the child. I also believe the father has a right to deny it without having to worry about consequences. When my boyfriend made it clear he didn't want the baby and I chose to keep it, she became my responsibility. I never once asked him for anything.
Steel: Now I will make an overarching point that this entire discussion would be different if, conservatives, those who are the ones pushing anti abortion legislation, weren't also against sex education and contraceptives
Guide: Thank you both for sharing your perspectives and personal experiences. As we approach the end of our discussion, let's try to synthesize some of the key points.Steel, you've consistently emphasized freedom of choice and the importance of comprehensive sex education. How do you think we can balance individual freedoms with societal responsibilities when it comes to reproductive rights?Michelle, your personal story is compelling, and you've expressed nuanced views on abortion limits and paternal rights. Given your experience, how do you think policies could be shaped to support women in difficult situations while also addressing your concerns about abortion frequency?Michelle: And no, I did not live on welfare or move back home to my parents house. I worked two jobs and paid for daycare on my own.
Steel: Too bad the kid had no father at home and their mother was busy working
Steel: I am not in favor of a child growing up in those kinds of environments
Michelle: I'm conservative and fully support sex education and birth control. All of the people in my party that I know agree with them as well.
Guide: Thank you both for sharing these additional insights.Michelle, your perspective on conservatives supporting sex education and birth control is interesting, as it challenges some common assumptions. How do you think this support could be more effectively communicated or implemented in policy discussions?Steel, you've expressed concerns about children growing up in challenging environments. How do you balance this concern with your strong stance on individual freedom? Are there ways you think society could address these issues without restricting reproductive choices?Steel: Well that's fine that you support that, but conservative politicians want to cut funding for sex education, contraceptives in schools etc
Steel: If conservatives want people so desperately to have their children, they need to help people (women) who are in a tough spot when they become mothers
Michelle: It was family daycare and it was temporary. I met someone who I married and had 2 more children with who accepted my first child as his own. It worked out well.
Steel: Well thats great things worked out for you but thats surely not the case for all people
Guide: Thank you both for continuing to share your perspectives. As we're nearing the end of our discussion, let's try to find some common ground or areas for potential agreement.Steel and Michelle, you both seem to agree on the importance of sex education and access to contraceptives. Given this shared belief, how do you think we could bridge the gap between personal views and political actions to ensure better support for these programs?Additionally, you've both touched on the challenges of raising children in difficult circumstances. Can you each share one policy or societal change you believe would most effectively support parents and children, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy?Michelle: I think that contraceptives in school is okay. What I don't like is that parents of minors are not notified that a school is giving out the morning after pill without parental consent. That happened to me. I happened to see the box in my daughter's trash can and it pissed me off. Not that she was using contraceptives or that she was having sex, but that a school was making healthcare choices for her without discussing it with me first.
Michelle: You're right, it doesn't work out well for everyone. But that just goes back to being more responsible and preventing pregnancy before it begins.
Steel: I can understand your frustration with that, but wouldn't an open dialogue with your daughter when she is coming of age be helpful?
Michelle: There are plenty of over the counter options available. Abstinence is free.
Steel: So she won't go behind your back with stuff like that?
Guide: Thank you both for your continued engagement. As we approach the end of our discussion, let's try to summarize and reflect on what we've learned.Michelle, you've highlighted a crucial point about parental involvement in minors' healthcare decisions. How do you think we can balance the need for confidential healthcare for teens with parental rights and responsibilities?Steel, you've consistently advocated for personal freedom and comprehensive support systems. In light of Michelle's experience, how do you think we can ensure young people have access to necessary healthcare while also respecting family dynamics?Michelle: I have had open dialogs with all three of my daughters as soon as they started their menstrual cycles. That doesn't necessarily mean they listened to me! :)
Steel: haha fair enough!
Michelle: Do you have kids?
Steel: Kids are shy about that kind of stuff, no I don't have any of my own
Steel: but my parents never talked to me about sex, ever
Steel: and I think it would have been helpful if I had a few awkward chats about it with them
Michelle: My middle daughter got pregnant when she was 17. She came to me then and asked what she should do and I told her to she should have the baby. I would have been heartbroken if she would have chosen abortion because it affects more than just the parents.
Steel: Well I think that adds to my point, shouldn't there be more open discussion with kids and parents about sex education and contraceptives?
Guide: Thank you both for this engaging and insightful discussion. As we come to a close, it's clear that despite your different stances on abortion, you've found some common ground on the importance of open communication about sex and reproductive health.Steel and Michelle, you've both emphasized the value of sex education and family dialogue. In these final moments, can each of you share one key takeaway from this conversation that might help bridge the gap between differing views on abortion and reproductive rights?Your perspectives have highlighted the complexity of this issue and the importance of considering personal experiences, family dynamics, and societal responsibilities. Thank you for your thoughtful participation in this challenging but crucial dialogue.Michelle: I think a lot of parents think their kids will learn sex education in school and no longer put themselves in that awkward position. It's a shame because it really is the parents job.
Steel: Agreed wholeheartedly
