Today I bring on Mayra Rodriguez to discuss her story as a former director of Planned Parenthood, and her conversion to becoming pro-life.

We discuss:

  • Her story and what she experienced while working for planned parenthood
  • Being a Catholic working for planned parenthood
  • Exposing the corruption of the abortion industry
  • Terminated pregnancies vs. abortions
  • The Abortion Access Amendments Act
  • Being a “Baby Rights Activist”
  • Giving advice and wisdom to someone who’s had an abortion before
  • Giving advice to any pro-choice listeners
  • Why abortions are never necessary
  • Dealing with someone who is pro-choice/pro-abortion


I am also happy to say that the same day this episode was recorded, the Abortion Amendments Act did not go through in the state of Arkansas. It will not be on any Arkansas ballots this year.
