The Biology Professor Who Hated Our Outreach Exhibit

The Equal Rights Institute Podcast

This piece is an outreach dialogue story. Despite Josh not being excited to write it, it went viral on lifenews.com. We suspect this had to do with the title, which could give the impression that this is one of those “The brilliant pro-life person destroys the stupid pro-choice person” posts.

That’s not an attitude that we want to nourish. We think it’s more intellectually healthy to get outside of your echo chamber and think about the smartest arguments that are coming from the other side. But some people like those kinds of pieces because they feel good. Though Josh didn’t intend to write a bait-and-switch piece, we think he sort of did, and we're glad it got some people who otherwise wouldn’t read our blog to learn a little about what we do when we’re trying to create a good dialogue.
