wow... generation of fear. I remember growing up and my mother would allow me to stay in the car if we've been out all day and I didn't want to go into a shop or two. this could take 10 minutes or 30... sometimes you'd be left with the keys to listen to the radio. nothing never happened. As a parent now, my wife would never leave our kids in the car. I have and would. Nothing longer than 10 minutes. I have no idea how this shift happened, but it's ruining kids, parents and more.

great episode. kindly note that late-term abortion is not an actual term. thank you!

I cried for nearly an hour while listening to this. I had to terminate at 23.6 weeks last April due to brain issues and so much of this echoed my own experience. I'm forever changed. Thank you for highlighting how awful it is on the mom to have to make this decision.

This would be so much better if the interviewer and interviewee did not display the most intrusive "vocal fry" I've ever encountered!
