[Video Starts During Q&A Portion] Stephanie Gray responds to a question from the audience during her presentation at Google headquarters.
[Full Presentation] Google's description reads: "Stephanie Gray, internationally renowned speaker and author, applies the Socratic method and storytelling to the debate surrounding abortion. She invites the audience to be 'pro-conversation' on a topic that can be one of the most divisive, and demonstrates that it is possible to be gracious and respectful when encountering different ideas."
We’re ecstatic that our friend, international pro-life speaker Stephanie Gray, has recently been featured by Talks at Google at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. In her talk, "Abortion: From Controversy to Civility," Stephanie modeled powerfully how sharing stories, questions, and thought experiments can transform your conversations about abortion.
This whole talk is just over an hour long and is certainly worth watching. If you'd like to start with a short segment, however, we've highlighted two minutes from the Q&A portion (53:26 - 55:26). Listen for Stephanie's great advice on starting conversations in a pro-choice environment.*
In the coming days, we will highlight a few more short segments on our blog and our @7conversations Twitter feed. However, these upcoming posts will be designed to share so that you can use them to start a conversation of your own. If you use one of the upcoming posts to create dialogue, let us know how it goes!

*Note: Also included in this video clip is a response to the question of abortion in the case of rape. Stephanie does a great job of compassionately and clearly addressing this topic in the short time format. In personal conversations about abortion and the question of rape, you'll usually have a bit more time.
