Is Florida’s Abortion Law Unenforceable? (Pam Stenzel) - 1/27/24

1/27/24 - Last year, the six week abortion ban took affect in Florida after being passed by the state legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. However, without a federal ban in place, and with out-of-state options still available, is it truly possible for authorities to enforce this new policy in the state of Florida, or is it all just a facade providing a false sense of hope for pro-lifers? Pam Stenzel returns to the show to bring us the latest updates from the ground in the Sunshine State.

Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Abortion Wars (Dr. Monica Miller) - 1/23/25

1/23/25 - Dr. Monica Miller is a nationally known pro-life leader, having been involved in the pro-life movement since 1976. She is the founder of Citizens for a Pro-life Society and author of several articles published on theological subjects and life-issues. Her work has appeared in This Rock, The National Catholic Register, Homiletic and Pastoral Review, The New Oxford Review, Fidelity Magazine, and Crisis Magazine. Since 1976, Monica Miller has made it her life's work to defend the unborn: she has counseled pregnant women outside abortion clinics and organized pro-life groups and sit-ins at many of those same clinics. She has blocked abortionists' cars, been arrested, and gone to jail. And she has pulled the bodies of thousands of unborn babies out of dumpsters and given them a proper burial. Abandoned: The Untold Stories of the Abortion Wars is the story of those children abandoned by abortion, and it is the story of their courageous defenders. It tells the profound, breathtaking, and often daring journey of one woman, but it is much more than that. It is a history of the Pro-Life movement since Roe vs. Wade, a suspenseful, true-life tale of life and death, an insightful look into the unique and terrible horror of abortion, and a plea for the protection of the most helpless and innocent members of the human family.
