Roughly 15 Honors students joined the Honors Program Co-Directors, Dr. Tillman and Dr. Cragun, to discuss Katie Watson’s book, Scarlet A, on September 21st. The book discusses the ethics, law, and politics of abortion. The students discussed a variety of issues for the first 30 minutes and then were joined by the author for an hour-long discussion about different ideas in the book, ranging from the challenges of terminology to the stigma associated with abortion to how Roe v Wade was over-turned.
