Not Enough Raging (ft. Kathryn Jean Lopez)
About this episode
John Gerardi and Kathryn Jean Lopez discuss the resurgence of Planned Parenthood's funding and the challenges facing the pro-life movement.
John Gerardi is joined by his friend Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review, the pro-life movement's leading chronicler and author of the Lifeline newsletter. The two dig into the biggest and most frustrating story in pro-life politics: Congress quietly letting Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funding come roaring back after just one year of defunding, and why, in KJL's words, "not enough raging" is happening in Washington. Along the way they cover the GOP's fading abortion plank and the legacy of platform warriors like Phyllis Schlafly, the New York Times' fascination with Heritage Foundation scholar "Mrs." Emma Waters and the rise of restorative reproductive medicine, and the courtroom showdown over abortion pill reversal, where the abortion lobby's star witness is crumbling under cross-examination. Then, in the final segment, John and Kathryn push back on the "toxic empathy" discourse. If pro-lifers become the movement known for being against empathy, we've lost the plot. They'll know we are Christians by our love, from the sidewalk to the Obria clinic in Fresno.
