This week, Sarah and Mikayla discuss several different cases of women experiencing coercion to have an abortion and how abortion pill access online has made it easy to drug women against their wills. 18 states have "shield laws" in place that protect doctors prescribing pills illegally from being prosecuted in these cases.

This week, Sarah and Mikayla discuss the report that ALL of Planned Parenthood's Pennsylvania locations and affiliates list "prenatal services" on their website, but do not offer standard prenatal care. Sarah took it upon herself to call a Planned Parenthood in Illinois to ask some questions; Pennsylvania law prohibits us sharing the full recording of this phone call, but you can learn about what they told us and how it's intentionally misleading to women seeking actual prenatal care. You can read the original report from Pennsylvania Family Institute here: https://pafamily.org/2025/07/30/planned-parenthood-misleading-women/ Donate to Promise of Life Network, a non-profit pregnancy help organization that maintains full transparency about our services and takes the 9th (and all) commandments very seriously: https://promiseoflifenetwork.org/donate/

CONTENT WARNING: This episode was personally disturbing for us to film, but it is necessary to discuss in light of it's growing popularity. We strongly recommend not reviewing materials from the Satanic Temple yourself unless you feel it necessary to do so and have a strong spiritual support system in place. For these reasons, we will not be including any links to their website. We took care not to display any of the symbolism they use in the podcast episode. This week, Sarah and Mikayla discuss the Satanic Temple, an organization that made abortion a "ritual" so that they can claim it is protected under the First Amendment.

This week, Sarah and Mikayla discuss the second study that has come from the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Using the same data from the first study, this study looks specifically at the effectiveness of abortion pills. Side note: Sarah thought Mikayla was turning her microphone off after recording, Mikayla thought Sarah was turning her own microphone off after recording... which resulted in a dying microphone that neither of us noticed. Audio quality this week is iffy at best. It's a competency issue, folks. and I'm trying my best. :D Link to the Ethics and Public Policy Center so you can look at the studies: https://eppc.org/ Donate: https://promiseoflifenetwork.org/donate/
