Abortion, Politics, and Workplace Boundaries: Respectful Disagreement in Hard Conversations

Lisa McGrath and Michael tackle why politics and abortion feel so personal, especially when identity, family, and workplace dynamics collide. They dig into echo chambers, political labels, Alberta’s referendum, and why respectful disagreement matters even when minds won’t change. The conversation goes deep on abortion timing, medical necessity, miscarriage, later-term limits, disability, and the difference between lived experience and abstract opinions. They also cover women’s health, unequal medical burdens, relationship pressure, and why these topics are hard to avoid in business and close circles.
