Next Step: Conversation Starter for Session 5
Note: Some of the conversation starters from Session 1 and Session 2 and Session 3 and Session 4 may still be helpful to you for starting conversations.
Option 1: Continue Your Conversation from Session 1 (and Following Sessions)
If you used the conversation starter from Session 1, go back to the person you talked to and ask if he or she wants to continue the conversation. Mention that one of the most common topics that comes up in relation to the topics of unintended pregnancy and abortion is the topic of rape. Ask what your friend thinks about abortion in this case late in pregnancy…and early in pregnancy. Use what you learned in Session 5 to dialogue with your friend.
Option 2: Share Pages 2-3 from the JFA Brochure
Use the digital brochure or send this image. Ask, “which circumstances concern you most.” Usually, rape is one of the most common circumstances people raise. Use what you learned in Session 5 to create a productive conversation with your friend.
Option 3: Share Pages 8-9 from the JFA Brochure
Use pages 8-9 as a springboard for conversation about what each of us can do to stop the violence against women.
