15. Book Club: Toxic Empathy: Lie #1: Abortion is Healthcare

Lie #1 in Allie Beth Stuckey's book, Toxic Empathy, is Abortion is healthcare.

So we dive deep into the history of abortion, via Margaret Sanger, and the history of abortion in Canada. We ask the questions: how did we get here? and: how do we make abortion illegal? At the end, we share the undeniable grace of God for anyone who has had an abortion. Our goal for this episode is not to condemn anyone, but rather, to shine a light on the darkness that is abortion in Canada. We knew nothing of the evil and horror that was happening all around us. 

Our hope and prayer, that as you hear this, it'd light a fire within you to share about this topic with others, and join forces to put an end to abortion.

This episode provides an immense amount of information, but it is not exhaustive.
