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.
