About this episode

Dr Jo engages in a challenging abortion debate with journalist Josh Szeps, discussing philosophical arguments surrounding personhood and human rights.

Dr Jo joins journalist Josh Szeps for one of the most intense and uncomfortable abortion debates yet. From “a blastocyst isn’t a person” to arguments comparing babies to acorns, rocks, and bread dough, this conversation dives deep into the philosophical foundations of abortion, personhood, consciousness, and human rights. Dr Jo responds point-by-point to the most common pro-abortion arguments and explains why she believes the pro-life position is the only logically consistent worldview. Whether you agree or disagree, this is a discussion guaranteed to challenge assumptions and spark debate.
