On Common Ground Mission Statement
Earlier this year, U.S. President Barack Obama challenged
those with different perspectives on abortion to explore opportunities for
identifying "common ground." In
response to the President Obama's challenge and its relationship to issues of
reproductive health and rights, RH Reality Check has established a special "On
Common Ground" section to provide interested readers with selected postings on
the ongoing and often elusive search for common ground.
RH Reality Check's On Common Ground section will feature
ideas and recommendations from leading participants in the common ground
dialogue. We hope that these posts will
help encourage a rich and productive dialogue and welcome original submissions
and comments from all readers. Our On
Common Ground section will be moderated by Cristina Page, an accomplished
author and commentator who is attuned to the participants and ideas related to
common ground discussions. As
"moderator," Cristina will determine which posts are most relevant and timely
in the search for common ground.
The On Common Ground section will feature carefully selected
posts, with special focus on ideas and dialogue specifically designed to foster
common ground across divergent interests and perspectives. The RH Reality Check home page will continue
to publish news, analysis and opinion on the full range of sexual and
reproductive health issues - including from time to time information and ideas
that are questioning, even critical of the ongoing common ground dialogue. We believe there is more than enough room -
and need - for RH Reality Check to serve the multiplicity of interests
reflected in our diverse readership.
As ever, we welcome
ideas, comments and suggestions about the new On Common Ground section and all
aspects of RH Reality Check. Let us
know what you think.
