Pulse in the Culture

Abortion will end only when hearts and minds are changed. Culture is a powerful force in society. This is why Pulse engages in and writes extensively on cultural issues including music, theater, and cinema.

Change the culture and politics will follow. Change the culture and abortion will be abolished.
