I mentioned a few things at this week's discussion that I wanted to share and here they are!
- Mrs. America: Based on a true story, "Mrs. America tells the story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and the unexpected backlash led by a conservative woman named Phyllis Schlafly, aka "the sweetheart of the silent majority." Through the eyes of the women of the era -- both Schlafly and second-wave feminists Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus -- the series explores how one of the toughest battlegrounds in the culture wars of the '70s helped give rise to the Moral Majority and forever shifted the political landscape." Available on Hulu and Disney+ free.
- Old Testament abortion practice - Numbers 5:11–31. This ritual, involving "bitter water" that causes a woman's "thigh to fall" or "womb to miscarry" (in some translations), is a test for suspected adultery, not a direct command for abortion.

And below is this week's talk in case you missed it. If you weren't able to be at the live meeting (or if you were!), please share your thoughts here for discussion. (please don't share video, it is unlisted and just for this group).
