  • Episode 80: Why we are losing the pro-life/abortion debate

    Episode 80: Why we are losing the pro-life/abortion debate
    Oct 7 2024
    Recent state-wide initiatives have pointed in one direction. Pro-life legislation has failed. Pro-abortion legislation has succeeded. One major political party has made abortion a central part of its platform, and the other major political party has shown clear signs of distancing itself from the pro-life cause. Why? This is not a top-down process. It is a grassroots effort in which voters' opinions shape political positions. So why is the pro-life argument losing ground? Lindsay and Derek discuss this crucial issue on this episode of The C2 Life.
