Speaking4Him Podcast #591: The State of Life (2024)

 “The fetus, though enclosed in the womb of its mother, is already a human being and it is a monstrous crime to rob it of the life which it has not yet begun to enjoy. If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in a field, because a man’s house is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light.” — John Calvin, French Theologian, Pastor, and Reformer

ncfamily.org

It's been 51 years since Roe V. Wade legalized abortion in all 50 states, but the recent Dobbs V. Jackson ruling in June 2022 has completely changed the landscape of abortion across the country. On today's show, I take a closer look at where the pro-life movement stands after this shakeup.
