The abortion debate is not just a disagreement. It is a “two movies on one screen” scenario.

inside that echo chamber, it is incredibly difficult to tell what is a persuasive argument and what it not. As long as it aligns with “our side”, confirmation bias will lead us to believe the quote or meme we are sharing on Instagram is airtight and incontrovertible .
It seldom is. The other side is more likely to see the flaws in our arguments.
