About this episode

Steph and Brad share their emotional journey of fighting for their unborn son Remy's life amidst the pressure to consider abortion, as South Australia votes on a pro-life bill.

When Steph and Brad were told their unborn son Remy was unlikely to survive, abortion was presented as the rational option. Instead, they fought for his life, welcomed him through an emergency caesarean, and spent 53 unforgettable days with their son. In this deeply moving interview, they share the pressure they faced, the grief they carried, and the unexpected joy, love and healing that came through choosing to accompany Remy rather than end his life. As South Australia prepares to vote on a historic pro-life bill, this story challenges everything being said about compassion, suffering and fatal fetal anomalies. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate
