What is the future of the pro-life movement without simplistic messaging focused on Roe v. Wade to galvanize conservatives? The nuances of reproductive health science and privacy laws are up for debate, and the unity that the pro-life movement once relied on is fissuring under the pressure to rally support around the details. Banning IVF in Alabama was a deeply unpopular move by the courts, and this week SCOTUS is hearing oral arguments about a case centered on the 23-year-old status of FDA approval for mifepristone. Leading those arguments? Erin Morrow Hawley, ADF senior counsel and the wife of MO Senator, Josh Hawley.

R.E. Fulton (@rebfulton) joins KTC to talk about the history of abortion and dispel some myths, and tell us about the one who got away with actual murder.

Eve and Kieryn talk about the impacts of the SCOTUS hearing and what it could mean for Roe v. Wade and other personal rights in the future. 

If you haven’t murdered anyone yet, good job! We have a t-shirt for you and teepublic would like us to tell you that it’s on sale for $14 until the 17th and also the site is 30% off for everything non-t-shirts until the 17th. We got an affiliated store for fun and promptly forgot about it because life happened.
