On Being Pro-Choice for Life w/Chelsea Kim Long

This week, three pro-choice Christians talk abortion bans. The bad news: we’ve entered the alternate universe of The Handmaid’s Tale. The good news: advocates of reproductive rights are fighting back in the courts, including using the “religious freedom” argument against the pro-lifers. ('Cause not every religion believes that life begins at conception, Allie Beth Stuckey!) Plus, to lighten the mood, we’re stanning for Ms. Rachel’s advocacy for children, and we’re encouraging EVERY CELEBRITY to follow her example. (Sign this petition to tell two Florida hospitals that laboring patients should NEVER EVER be forced to have a c-section!) The articles we discussed: “New Data Finds 900+ Pregnancy-Related Prosecutions in Three Years Since the Fall of Roe v.
