About this episode

This episode discusses a media scandal involving a misleading abortion image and its implications on activism and media bias.

A shocking “gotcha” over an abortion image has exploded into a much bigger story. After Dr Joanna Howe received an emotional email claiming to show aborted twins, the image was later alleged to be of baby sugar gliders. But instead of ending the conversation, the scandal exposed something deeper: media bias, activist tactics, and the uncomfortable reality of chemical abortion at home. In this episode, Jo and James respond to the Guardian’s coverage, the accusations against them, and why they say the attempted takedown has only strengthened their resolve to speak for unborn children like Emma and Ruth. 📲 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
