Who I am – CEO of Pathway Health Clinic – A life affirming pregnancy medical clinic located in Southern California.
What draws me to this movement/mission.
Came from a place of brokenness.
Have a heart for the hurting and alone.
Meaning of Life Grounded
9 years in the pro-life movement at ground level.
Have sat knee to knee with women facing an unexpected pregnancy.
Seeing the anguish on their face and listening to their circumstances
Her life is not always what we think
What is this podcast going to be about?
History of abortion in America – how it was viewed.
History of Roe v. Wade – Mike Slater (find him on The First TV) taught me information I didn’t know.
How Roe actually came about
Who was involved, what were their motives
If Roe is overturned, what does that look like at the state level.
What is the justice side of this movement and what is the mercy side?
What are their roles
What is HER story.
A look into the woman who is considering abortion
Why adoption isn’t a simple solution
What are her external pressures and influences
Finally, I’m going to talk about what WE ARE FOR, as opposed to what we are against.
It is a given that I don’t think abortion helps anything – please don’t send me hate mail that you think I am for abortion.
But let’s have an honest discussion about the things that we are for.
Hopefully through all of this, you will gain knowledge when having discussions with people who disagree with you.
How to have a discussion that isn’t based on arguing and rhetoric but based on facts.
If you are listening and you are okay with abortion and feel that it needs to be available on demand, perhaps you’ll walk away with a different perspective. At the very least have a deeper understanding of the beginning of legalized abortion at the federal level and where we are now, and how it has affected every aspect of how we value human life.
Maybe, if you are pro-life, you will walk away with a deeper understanding of her complex issue.
I hope you will tune in and have an open heart and open mind to this very complex issue.
